I was pleased to read how author Jeff Kinney used life experience, and his own journal writing, as inspiration for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Kinney began with just Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is set to release February 1 this year. It looks like the author has got a hit on his hands. I sure hope the series encourages more journal writing in kids.
