The Journal Newsletter – November 2014

Here in the USA, this is the Thanksgiving Season, a time for Family, Food, and (American) Football. And, of course, giving thanks. In that vein, I’d like to thank my wife, Susan, for not only letting me talk over the movie, but joining me, enthusiastically. =)

There is a new update of The Journal 6 available. See “The Journal News” below for all the details. (The update came out in October, actually, but after the newsletter went out.)

This month’s tip is the (rather long) list of hot-keys in The Journal, alphabetically, and we have a couple new writing prompts.

The Journal Newsletter – October 2014

It’s almost Halloween! The newly-minted three-year-old has his astronaut costume ready to moonwalk through the neighborhood and demand candy from strangers. Which is exactly the sort of thing I enjoy memorializing in The Journal. =)

Most of what I write in The Journal is more professional than personal. I design and develop in The Journal, and keep lots of notes about what I’m working on (some of which I even refer back to). But I also try to add the personal touch every so often. So future generations who browse my journal won’t think I was a *totally* self-centered workaholic. 😉

This month’s tip talks about how to mark “red letter days” in The Journal, and we have a couple new writing prompts.
