RE: Daily journaling could change your life (it did mine)
Ok, you are the first person I've ever known to mention The Artist's Way! That book was life-changing for me!!
GOD-Good Orderly Direction
I ended up calling my writings 'Meditative Journaling' because when I did focus on just the writing, just the words that appeared in my mind, I was almost outside of myself looking in.
I read this book about 15 years ago as I was struggling with depression and it was a turning point for me. So glad to see it's helped you too! Great article!
I have to admit that I first found that exercise in a different book called Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande. However, my mum had a copy of The Artist's Way - along with the hundreds of other cool books that were lying around the house when I was growing up - so of course I dipped into it and I've heard it mentioned in various circles since then. Seems that it's played a similar role for a lot of people. So glad to hear it was such a help for you. Depression is a horrible beast when it rears its ugly head.
