I reached out to review this new book written by Mari L McCarthy because this is exactly what I needed. I had been in such a writing funk and I just needed something that would burst through the grey clouds and bring my inspiration back. I can definitely say it did the job!

My thoughts
I love how this book wasn’t aimed at just writers, just people who have a blog like me or have a web page, magazine or whatever. This is aimed at general people. People who could pick up a pen and a pad and start voicing whatever it is they want to voice.
I gave up journaling a long time ago because I thought it was pointless, I would hold onto all of my emotions, the good the bad and the ugly until things became to much and I had to let it all out in the worst way. I decided to give journaling ago again once I started reading Mari’s book and I found it therapeutic to write everything down.
I currently write in my journal once a day and just put everything in there, from things I am grateful for, things that made me happy or sad, activities I did or didn’t do. It’s definitely helped me clear a few things up and I am working on a lot of new things which is just as exciting to document.
I loved the book enough to lend it to a friend to bring him some inspiration too. I recommend it to people who are struggling to find a way to cope with their emotions, for people who would like to start writing but don’t quite know where to start and to anyone in between. You will find a way to relate to this book and channel it into your life which is one of the main reasons I think this is great!
Do check out Mari’s latest book and the other links in this post for the rest of the tour too. I would love to know if you have read it, heard about it or will be checking it out soon.
For now though, that is all from me, I really hope you have enjoyed this post, if you have let me know by leaving a like and comment below. I will be back tomorrow with another post.
Until then,
Sending you all my love,
