In a past column, I wrote about my journals. All 80 or more of them! As I write a certain day’s entry, I’ll maybe realize that this might be a story. Or in listening to a conversation … what if? (My two favorite words!). Well, it was a bright and beautiful...

Before my author career, I journaled. A lot. I now have over eighty journals—filled. And I don’t write in the little ones. I use either 8×10 or 9×12 sketch books. You can see a sample here. I call them my puke-it-out journals, because that is precisely what...
