LM: #275: What hath writing wrought?
Writing is a “wr” word.
You “wrestle” with a problem.

Sometimes you have a breakthrough, but the true effects of journaling happen gradually, outside awareness.

Cool: The Western Canon Starter Kit is a YouTube series prescribing reading of the most-influential literature of western culture.
