Journal to a More Creative Self

Following on the heels of 365 Days of Creative Writing, Author and Journal Aficionado, Rosemary Augustine, recently released the book Journal to a More Creative Self - offering over 150 more journal prompts for creative writing. The book uses special writing prompts to heighten your sensory awareness and gain intuitive insight and meaning to your surroundings, offering the reader an opportunity to stretch their creativity, while expanding their writing skills. Using the book across six weeks, you will explore one of your five senses each week in the particular order of: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell culminating with the 6th week exploring your intuition. Experiment with a different sensory topic each week using the prompts, examples, and special “tool” words to stimulate your writing.

Journaling arouses the right side of the brain which is your creative side helping you become more aware and see things more clearly by developing your gut feelings (or intuition). Journaling offers the individual a chance to discover a creative side as they write about thoughts, feelings or everyday events. Even when journaling on a daily basis, a writer is often faced with writer’s block. Stimulating your senses gives your writing a boost whether you are journaling at 6:00 am or midnight. The prompts also offer a chance to not fear the blank page. The more you journal, the more creative you become, and the more creative you become the more productive you become in your life. Funny how something so simple is often so feared. By journaling, your writing feeds your mind and heals your soul.
