• I've been putting off completing this book because I didn't want the fun to end: as such, it's not a 'reading' book, but a 'doing' book. You doodle, write and draw your way through it. There is a section at the end which simply proved to me (as I had suspected all along) that Zimmerman's philosophy matches, if not outdoes, that of Julia Cameron.

• Have just completed this book for a second time, having left space for myself the first time around. It's interesting how some entries are completely different the second time around, while others say virtually the same thing (I tried not to be influenced by my first writing the second time around) ... wonder what Zimmerman's other books are like ... 31 Dec. 2010

Here, one of the doodles:
