For me, writing has always been an escape. When I'm enraged, shocked, or overwhelmed, I write about it. I have a hard time just sitting down and writing "on demand." It's weird that although I absolutely hate thinking of writing as an assignment or any type of work, I love writing prompts. They get me in the right head-space to trigger memories and images to write about.
As such, I was excited to try out a journal called Extraordinary Ordinary Moments by Jorey Hurley. It's a thick paperback with cute illustrations and topics on each page, such as "things you don't want to end." While the journal is cute, it's not too cute, and would probably work for all ages and genders.
