Zatie Rosli: Review: Wreck This Journal

The other day, while I was scrolling through Pinterest, I stumbled upon some pins regarding a journal called Wreck This Journal. I was quite interested with that journal and start to do a mini research regarding it. I watched some videos on Youtube, Google about that journal and asked my friends about it. The more I knew, the more I am in love with this journal. As I am curious on how the journal will look like in real life, I decided to buy it at MPH Nu Sentral for RM 43.95. There are four different choices of cover for it which are the original black version, grey duct tape version, brown paper bag version and the red mesh version but I decided to go with the brown paper bag cover. Although there are different types of cover, the prompts provided in each book are actually the same. This issue had disappointed some of the buyers as they thought different types of cover has different prompts. I personally did not mind about the cover as the most important thing about that journal is its prompts.

For people who wanted to start a journal or had faced problems and difficulties to finish their journal, Wreck This Journal is the best solution. It provides prompts that will help you in completing your journal. Besides, the subtitle of the journal which is 'to create is to destroy' clearly described that there is no limitation for this journal. One can create new things and also destroy at the same time. It does not matter if you make mistakes as you are supposed to "wreck" this journal. This journal is not only focusing on creative and artistic people but it also serves as a stress reliever. For example, there is a prompt that told you to fill in the pages when you are really angry. By doing this, you can express and release your angry thoughts and trust me, it will definitely make you feel better.

This multi purpose journal is created by a woman named Keri Smith. According to her website, she is a Canadian conceptual artist and author of several best selling books and apps about creativity including Wreck This Journal, This is Not a Book, Finish This Book and The Pocket Scavenger. Although she had created many books and I had heard quite a number of good reviews about them, I never had a chance to buy them. Wreck This Journal is the first book from Keri Smith's creation that I had bought. So far, I am quite impressed with the prompts given and also the quality of the book. The paper was thick enough to prevent bleeding caused by pens, water, crayons and paints used to wreck the journal.

In a nutshell, I am really loving this journal. The price is quite pricey but it is worth it. I would highly recommend you to buy and try this journal. By this journal, you can kill boredom, increase your creativity and encourage yourself to think outside the box. Up to today, I have completed some of the prompts given and I believe that I shall end this post by sharing some of them to you.
