About Margaret Knorr
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions on keeping a journal, starting a journal, methods to expand your journaling and create variety in your writing, using journaling to increase your creativity and generate ideas in writing. I will not give out answers to homework questions, but will offer suggestions that will help you find the answers on your own if it is within my area of expertise.

Experience
I have kept a journal for over 20 years. I teach journaling classes online and have a book on journaling coming out in publication in 2005.

Publications
various online newsletters on creative writing, such as WordWeb.
