After writing about Meg Cabot the other day I came across Ten Journal Writing Tips by the author. This is in PDF format, so make sure you have adobe.com already on your computer before you download this file.

I am really excited to read about Meg Cabot’s initiative with YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association), encouraging teens to keep journals. Meg Cabot, the author of The Princess Diaries series, among other books, has helped create a programme which includes making journals, bookmarks with tips on how to journal, and how to address privacy issues. It’s very encouraging to read that Cabot was an avid journal writer as a teen, too.
