Juicy Journals & Wild Words Series

By Molly J. Anderson-Childers

Juicy Journals & Wild Words Greetings, faithful friends. Thanks for tuning in. This month, I’m thrilled to announce that I am launching a new series, exclusive to Creativity Portal. Every other month, you’ll be treated to articles, resources, and project ideas specific to creating juicy journals… in fact, I’m even going to venture into cyberspace to create my own blog. You can check it out at stealingplums.blogspot.com online. Modeled after my own haphazard journals, it will be an eclectic mixture of introspective journaling and creative wiritng — stories, poetry, and excerpts from my first novel, Stealing Plums, as well as other literary works-in-progress. I’m hoping to incorporate fabulous photographs, as well as my own luscious watercolors and collages. More »
