Product Description

When nomad artist and free spirit Dan Price began jotting down his musings in the form of whimsical drawings and inspired prose, he hardly could have imagined that his self-published journal-zine, the MOONLIGHT CHRONICLES, would earn him a cult following across the country. Now in its twentieth edition, the MOONLIGHT CHRONICLES has brought Dan's creed of "truth, beauty, and really big sabbaticals from the convention of life" to thousands across the countryWith such a following, Dan figured it was time to collect his offbeat observations into book form in hopes of inspiring other would-be journal writers to take pen, camera, and brush in hand. As Dan is fond of noting "Seems there's tons of empty journal books, but not too many on how to fill 'em up!" In HOW TO MAKE A JOURNAL, Dan answers the call, teaching readers how to tap into those pent-up creative juices and collect their life experiences on paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Notes from a 'quiet alert witness', 5 Oct 2000

tim.kerry@virgin.net (Taunton, Somerset, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make a Journal of Your Life (Paperback)

After a series of self-produced locally printed journals - the Moonlight Chronicles - Dan Price has written this 'how to' book encouraging people to be observant, and to be 'mindful' - aware of the uniqueness of each moment and the beauty of ordinary things. There are plenty of drawings, photographs and quotes to accompany Dan's observations, and advice on drawing and writing.This is inspiring stuff, and it's hard not to be struck by Dan's commitment to his chosen path, that of the 'destinationless traveller' and wandering artist. This is much more than a 'how to draw' book and closer really to a 'how to live' book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for any fan of the moonlight chronicles., 9 Dec 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Make a Journal of Your Life (Paperback)

Most people who would of read this book will be familiar to the MC's and will allready know how awe inspiring Dan's work is. For those first time readers, the Moonlight Chronicles are the amazing small zine format journal by Dan Price. Dan is the Jack kerouac of drawing and free thought, he's a wandering vagabond, who travels and draws in the search for simplicity and truth. If you can find them check them out, in the meantime go get a coffee and relax with this great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep it simple stupid.. a journal that is!, 1 Jan 2009

J. Arnold "@JezArnold" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Make a Journal of Your Life (Paperback)

The first of January 2009, and its a time for New Year Resolutions. For the last three years, I have committed myself to keep a life journal, but always failed. You need to keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate it.

This book, really helps you learn how to keep a great journal without making it seem that much of an effort. For 2009, I am combining it with my love of Moleskines. I have the Moleskine 2009 Weekly Pocket Notebook and it has a weekly diary on one side, and space for comments on the other. That space is for notes and drawings on my week.

This book helps you fill that gap, so you can look back on life in your old age and contemplate what you have done with it. If you have kids, you could always hand it down to them...
