I'm curious about how the mind of such a person works, what the creative process is like for him or her. It focuses on knowing ourselves through keeping a journal. In addition to her own journal entries, Rainer uses examples from the journals of her students and those of published diarists to illustrate that anything and everything can transpire in a journal. Attempts to avoid being boring may lead to exaggerated and distorted writing. Lack of intimacy with yourself creates boredom, so the solution is always to touch your true feelings and write from them.
Diaries prove that any life can be interesting or boring, depending on how deeply it is perceived.
The life of a recluse can make a fascinating diary, while the diary of a celebrity can be superficial and dull. Therefore, don't judge your writing, just trust your process. To get to the truth of your feelings you must discover who you were, what you chose, what you decided. You can never really know another's intent or motivation. But with a little effort and persistence you can remember what you decided and what you felt, and it is this discovery which is essential for self-understanding.
