Format:Paperback
As a person I developed greatly through this process. At a Journal Workshop, chapter by chapter, takes you through a series of introspective exercises that benefit writers & non-writers alike.
As a novice writer this book really helped me get inside my characters. It's much more useful than any creative writing class or writer's workshop that I have ever attended.
From a practical point of view the book is time consuming & figuratively "weighty." It is not easy to cross reference between chapters. However, if you interpret the exercises liberally & skip anything that does not inspire you, these points are easy to overlook.
This book is a replacement for an actual workshop & it is not an easy project. Tackle it when you can devote lots of personal time to it. For anyone at a crossroads in life, or anyone who wants to write - I thoroughly recommend it!
Good luck on your journey...

This book provides information about the Progoff Intensive Journal (IJ) method, a series of interrelated exercises that generate rich information about one's life, which were developed over 20 years of researching creativity and depth psychology. Exercises include work with dialogues, dreams, twilight images, and steppingstones. Adapted from the IJ workshops offered by Dialogue House, this book is an excellent resource for those new to the method as well as those who have take the workshop. Personally, I've found the book most useful as a reference tool to supplement the workshop experience.

Format:Paperback
The original edition "At A Journal Workshop" was out of print, so I was delighted to see there was another edition. When I finally held this mighty tome in my hands, and leafed through, my heart sank. You need two hands to hold it and it won't lie flat. Think about reading that and writing while referring to the book. Yes, you're right, it cannot be done. I dislike the little paragraphs in the outside margins - they add little to the work, much to the girth. It's an excellent work, although personally I don't find it especially "learned" as another reviewer did. There still is nothing in print as good, and I do recommend it, but the publishers have confused making something bigger with making something better. We Europeans know there is a difference. It's good, but to use it properly, I suggest you work with a friend and get her to hold it for you while you write, then return the favour for her.
