Do you keep a journal? I keep one, but I went to a writing workshop once and a guest speaker/author that I really respect said she absolutely loathes the idea of journaling; she said it's the equivalent of keeping a pile of vomit in your room. I thought it was a really interesting take on it...

That is a pretty interesting take on it, although in this case I guess it’s more like word vomit.

Journaling has never really appealed to me, but I’ve heard that it’s a great tool to letting out your emotions.

Don’t let someone prevent you from keeping one just because they dislike it; journals appeal (or don’t) to everyone in different ways!
