Why do you (want to) journal?

"Today it's a question for you to ponder over - and of course write about in your journal. Why do you journal? If you have been doing it for years, what keeps you going? And if you are wishing you were regular journaler, why do you want to be one? What do you think you will get out of it?" This is a 1:1-copy of Dolly's blogpost: "Why do you (want to) journal?"

Wreck This Journal: Draw Fat Lines And Thin.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") Actually I was doing another page, but suddenly I felt the urge to do this one! I simply LOVE tigers! *roar* And before anyone asks, EVERYTHING is painted: - The left page on a separate piece of paper, because of the Holes from the "Poke-Holes-Page" and then glued in. - The right page is first completely colored in black and then the tiger drawn on the surfa...

Wreck This Journal: Tear This Page Out. Put It In Your Pocket. Put It Through The Wash. Stick It Back In.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") I'd already washed the page before I did my "Shower-Page".

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, August-02: Motive. Imagine you have the ability to discern one person's true motive for one action he or she has done.

If you could choose anyone to interview you for broadcast on TV or radio, who would you choose, and what would the interview be about? I would like to be interviewed by Guenther Jauch and I can think of two possible situations: 1. He's the host of the German "Who wants to be a Millionaire?", which means I'm sitting on the hot chair and he's asking me what I wanted to do with the loads of money. 2. He's also...
