Writer Suleika Jaouad has been keeping a journal for as long as she could hold a pen. It got her through her battle with leukemia at age 22, life after treatment and then the pandemic.
But at a certain point, “I was starting to get bored of the sound of my own voice and grievances,” she says.
So she began reading the diaries and journals of her favorite writers for inspiration: Isabelle Eberhardt, Audre Lorde, Sylvia Plath and Susan Sontag.
Jaouad would pick a passage at random to read before journaling and found it had a “kaleidoscopic effect” on her writing, she says. It allowed the “light to fall differently,” changing her perspective and creating new ways of thinking.
She expands on this approach to journaling in her latest book, The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life, published this spring. It’s a collection of essays and writing prompts from 100 writers and artists, including poet and essayist Hanif Abdurraqib, writer and director Lena Dunham and illustrator Oliver Jeffers.

For the last maybe 10 years I’ve been using a journaling app called #DayOne as a diary. As times goes on it's really interesting to see what happened "on this day 8 years ago”. Learned recently of a new app called #Daylio and have checked it out. I don't think it'll replace DayOne for me, but Daylio is mostly free and has some improvements over DO so I thought y'all might like to know about it. It's better than DO as it's possible to "microjournal" with it. You can just choose your mood from 5 options, and then there are sections for things like health, social, chores etc. So in 10 sec you could click on Good, and then Cooking, Gym, Movies and tv, and that's it. You can also add full notes like a real diary if you want, along with photos, and it also has a goal tracker and comprehensive stats per day. I really like it. For instance, today I just chose good, coffee, dishes.
Daylio is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daylio-journal-daily-diary/id1194023242, DayOne is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/day-one-journal-private-diary/id1044867788
