How Writing Can Get You through Tough Times: No Experience Necessary
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
What could I do to promote the art of journal writing that will really bring home the point that it is truly a source of healing, and like the title says, requires NO writing experience. And then it came to me. If I share the experiences of others, and not just my own, maybe that would hit the ball out of the park.
In order to create this book, and promote journal writing, I looked inside myself to really determine what would entice me to try it. And then it came to me.
If one person tells me something, I will listen.
If ten people tell me something, I’m impressed and want to know more.
If a great many people tell me about something that worked for them, then by golly, I’d give it a go.
Hence, this book.

About the Book
“One of the most successful treatments for PTSD has been writing.”
—Andrew Komonchak, executive director,
Purple Heart Hall of Honor, Inc., NY
What if:
• There was a place available 24/7 where you could figure out some of life’s biggest challenges?
• You could work through grief, anger, fear, and anxiety without judgment?
• This place was as accessible as the top drawer of your favorite desk?
There is such a place, and it’s one of the best self-help tools available: it’s known as journal-writing.
In this book, you’ll gain encouragement and enlightenment about the power of journal-writing from two beloved authors, and from those around the country and around the globe who’ve generously shared their journal-writing experiences.
You can also start your own journal-writing practice right here in the pages of this book!
