Some Upcoming Journal Courses

Heather Goldsmith — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:09:07 +0000

Even though it’s really warm here in Perth, Western Australia, I know a lot of you live in the other hemisphere. It’s cold or at least heaps chillier than it is here for you at this time of the year. Journal writing courses are a great way to fill in those longer winter evenings, so take a look at a couple that are coming up soon:

Sheila Bender’s list of journal writing & related courses
Sue Meyen’s Journal Magic classes
Elizabeth Bezant’s courses – the popular Writing from the Heart course is almost full

Ok, those are just a few I know. If you know more, please share them in the comments section so I can add them to this entry.

Some Upcoming Journal Courses

Seven Weird Things Challenge

Heather Goldsmith — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 12:33:49 +0000

The other day a good friend tagged me with this challenge. I’ve decided to make a journal writing prompt out of it; at least to challenge you to use it that way. So, if you feel like sharing seven weird things about yourself, go right ahead. Please use the comments section below or leave a link there. If you feel more comfortable just write them in your journal.

Thing 1: I am 42 years old, but still feel about 15 most of the time.

Thing 2: I began writing an online diary/blog 14th August 2000, which was hubby’s birthday.

Thing 3: I can bend the top joints of my fingers without having to bend the other joints.

Thing 4: I have two teens & a toddler. Not too many people can say that, especially with the same partner.

Thing 5: I am currently obsessed with making jewellery & have even sold some of it.

Thing 6: My mum taught me to read, by reading me bedtime stories, by the time I was 4.

Thing 7: I have a weird and wicked sense of humour; well, so my kids tell me.

Now it’s your turn.

A Little Gift

Heather Goldsmith — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 14:07:18 +0000

This afternoon I met up with a good writing friend, Elizabeth Bezant. We spent time chatting about our lives, as women do, but also about our writing. It’s one thing I find invaluable when it comes to being a woman, mother and writer. I need someone who is like minded enough to bounce ideas off, have those little moans with and to share personal triumphs. She also gave me a little gift. I am now the proud owner of a lovely colourful journal with only twenty pages, but what lovely textured pages they are. I just need to think of something fun to do with this sweet little gift.

The reason for the gift was so I could take a look at some of the items now available on the Life’s Inspirational Moments store. I also had a first hand look at the Brain Sparking photo trigger cards. These are excellent journal writing prompts. Don’t forget Life’s Inspirational Moments are still looking for more stories about dementia & age-related memory loss. Apart from the little gift today, I’m not making anything out of mentioning these journal writing tools.

Rockin’ Girl Blogger, Who Me?

Heather Goldsmith — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:09:58 +0000

I was surprised to receive the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award on Saturday. My good friend Elizabeth Bezant bestowed this honour on me. After a little investigation I’ve discovered this fabulous idea began with Roberta Ferguson.

So, next is the passing on part. I need to pick some girls to give this award to. Ok, here goes:

Shai Coggins who opened the door to online creativity for me
Cyndi Lavin for her inspiring & creative blogs; Layer Upon Layer, Bead Arts, Mozel Tov
Anne Wayman has The Golden Pencil, excellent for freelance writers

Inspirational Moments

Heather Goldsmith — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:26:37 +0000

Elizabeth Bezant of Inspirational Moments wants your personal essays. There are currently four books to fill with personal stories. Be sure to read Writing a Moments Story, Submission Guidelines and Tips on Stronger Writing. Even if you never send your essays in, the four themes make excellent journal writing prompts.
