When I was in 5th grade, I went to the local library with a friend. Okay, I probably went to the library twice a week, but still.
Looking for something new to read. And I picked up a thick hardcover that I absolutely loved the look of. It looked like a thriller, but also like a coming of age story.
It was perfect (I mean, Carrie was a recent read for me,
I recently decided to make a change, enter The Hero’s Journal (not an ad, I purchased on my own). Yes, it’s a clever play on words, as well as a system for tracking a particular habit.
