I picked up a copy of Wreck This Journal, and loved it from the moment I first flipped through the pages. All my life I have wanted to start and maintain a daily journal, filled with random thoughts and doodle. Sadly I am a bit anal about journal-ing - being a perfectionist doesn't go well with spontaneous writing. But with the help of Wreck This Journal I have discovered that sometimes it is the little mistakes and the unconscious squiggles that really express your thoughts. The entire point behind this book is to wreck it, damage it, mangle it - but to do it creatively. So I picked an easy page first - the instructions tell you to stick those little stickers you find on apples, bananas, pears etc. all over the page - it was slow going (who eats that much fruit each day) but eventually I ended up with a page full of peeling, ripped, kinda grungy fruit stickers. And you know it was really fun! Now I am working myself up to the assignment where you take your book somewhere's really high up - and drop it! Or maybe the one where you take the journal into the shower. Oh I can't forget the one where you rub a page against a tree and do something creative to what it leaves behind!
