LifeJournal for Writers offers the best of two worlds -- a structured place to get at the basic business of journal writing, and also a technologically savvy tool that facilitates tracking and organization of the writing so it may be easily retrieved and used.

Before I started using LJW, my journal entries were scattered among various notebooks and computer files, with no organization. Now, the software is my central writing zone, both for general journaling and exploring story and poem ideas. It's all in one place, and with a simple command, I can search my entries by topic, idea, or date.

The writing prompts contained in LJW provide a suprisingly fun and effective motivator when I am stuck or looking for a fresh way to think about things.

--Kristine Crandall, Writer

Based on prior experience from a few years back with writer software I found not useful or not worth the trouble, I was skeptical but still curious about LifeJournal for Writers.

I believe LJW fills a much-needed niche to help writers organize their writing, especially providing space and organization for the small scraps of work we all accumulate.

I especially like that LJW is practical and stimulates creativity and automates the organization process without the inherent chaos when writing in notebooks, jotting down thoughts and ideas on post-it notes and in random computer entries.

I didn't expect the daily journal entry feature to be so inviting and easy. I have kept brief journal entries in fits and starts, both in notebooks and on the PC, and I find this feature more suited to my needs now. I also like the abundant writing prompts and tips. A terrific idea that nicely rounds out the software package!

I have really enjoyed using LifeJournal for Writers. I find it intuitive and easy to use. I loved your inspirational quotes and appreciate that it has a place for me to organize my own sets of quotes.

As a first-time writer/publisher, it allows me to organize my life-time of journals in a format that is easily accessible and ready to compose into saleable works. I have also been able to track submissions,and works in progress in an organized way. It has made my writing productive. It has given me hope that I can make writing/publishing a career

--Carol Berg

Can I just say, I love your program? I may leave it for a while, but I always come back. It puts such flexiblity into the structure of my journal writing, it is unlike any other system I've ever used.
Thank you very much for developing Life Journal!

--Sue Caskey

I just want to say thank you for such a killer app. I've written hundreds
of Word documents as journal entries, and you're program was able to
import them without a great hassle. I now have ALL my journal writing
under one umbrella. This make life SO much easier. I really can't thank
you enough for Life Journal.

Instead of spending the weekend
doing all the practical things, like paying bills and cleaning the
apartment, I spent the majority of the weekend writing. Procrastination
in reverse! This is easily the best forty dollars I've ever spent in my
life. Thanks so much,

--Arnie Stein

I kept a journal when I was young to help the sorting process. Now due to ill
health I am forced to keep a journal, and I am finding this program
absolutely amazing. Apart from record keeping and the Daily Pulse
Graph, the prompts and quotes have made me aware of so many thoughts
and feelings I didn't know I had. Bringing them to the surface will
undoubtedly go a great way to recovery. And for the first time in my
life I am enjoying journaling.

I can feel the benefits of it.

Thank you for a great program,

Yours Sincerely,

Francoise

I can stop looking now!!

For years I have been trying to keep a Journal. I have tried hand written
journals but never really felt comfortable with putting down everything
I should since anyone could just pick it up and read to there hearts'
content.

I started looking for software programs to satisfy
the requirements. But everything I found was lacking something. I must
have looked at 15 to 20 programs ranging from pathetic to incredibly
complex. Sometimes I would try it for a few weeks others for just a few
minutes. But always the same result - DELETE.

Then I found "Life Journal". It had everything I was looking for and then some. The
"Daily Pulse" feature is excellent. The Daily Entries are simple to use
and allow you to tag or bookmark them for easy recall by virtually any
organizational method you would need. This alone was enough for me to
be more than satisfied.

But when I started to look at the Life History feature, I was blown away. It is the reason why keeping a
Journal became so important to me. I wanted to have something to give
my kids when they got older. Something that they could refer to when
they hit difficult times. Something to help them know and understand me
better.

I would give almost anything if I had something like this from my parents.

Thank You

I have had such a good time with the journal. The prompts are really
helpful. Through them, I have looked at some points of my life that I
haven't thought about in years, even through two years of
psychotherapy.

I usually do my own events of the day and then
use the timer to use the prompts, otherwise I would be at the journal
24/7. I'm hoping to be able to get the software for my daughters.

I have 3 daughters and they each have a daughter. Could Mother and
daughter journal on the same software, split by passwords? What a
legacy that would be for future generations!!! And what therapy for my
daughters!

Thanks. I have to say the software is so user-friendly and easy.

Your newsletters are really enlightening. The whole program has helped me to
focus my inner self. It has been a stressful year on my job and
LifeJournal has helped a great deal in just the short time I have been
using it.

The Institute of Children's Literature has recently reviewed LifeJournal. Here's what the author, Kristi Holl had to say:

A New Discovery!

I recently found a free trial offer for a program called LifeJournal,
which is journal software to be stored in your computer. To be honest,
I only downloaded the free demo so I could evaluate it for this
article, but before using my 15 free entries, I had purchased it.
(Note: This is not online journaling, which has become popular
recently, where your journal entries are posted to web pages through a
"digital diary" for all to read. LifeJournal is private and password
protected!) For those of you who want to find later what you've
written, this is perfect. This journal for Windows has options to
highlight, store, name and search/retrieve anything you've written. If
you're tracking your progress in a specific issue, or you just want to
find that fleeting inspired idea you jotted down, this journal might be
for you.

LifeJournal also has quotes to inspire you, questions
to promote self-reflection, a dream journal for recording dreams,
several "tools" (like their Dialogue box) for effective journaling, and
a daily pulse gauge to monitor your mood, health, energy and stress
levels. Then, when you close the journal window, you don't need a
hiding place! It's all in your computer, and unless you reveal your
password, no one but you can access it. A trial offer, with no
obligation, can be found at http://www.lifejournal.com and if you're
like me, you'll be hooked.
I absolutely love this software. I
have been journaling for over 35 years and your program is stupendous!
As a psychotherapist, I frequently recommend it to my patients. It has
the potential to stimulate so much growth and grounding upon the
discovery of their true selves.
