Dear ,
Perhaps it is your relentless inner critic or a family matter gnawing at your conscience. Then again, it could just be a case of writer's block. What is really at the core? What truly keeps you from being the productive and successful writer you know you should be?
Mari McCarthy says that the answers lie inside your subconscious mind and can be unveiled through therapeutic journaling. In her new book, Who Are You? How to Use Journaling Therapy to Know and Grow Your Life, Mary will guide you in the use of this wonderful tool.
In today's interview, Mari shares some journaling tips and also some advice on how to keep a journal with your kids, and what is a good age to start.
Stop by The Muffin today and leave a comment or ask a  question for a chance to win a copy of Who Are You? How to Use Journaling Therapy to Know and Grow Your Life AND a song! We're giving away a download of Mari McCarthy singing "Rhapsody in Truth" from her album "The Barry Thought of You." For an extra entry, link to the post on Twitter with the hashtag #WhoRUBook. The giveaway contest closes this Thursday, August 25th at 11:59 PM, PST. We will announce the winner in the comments section the following day, Friday August 26th.
Bloggers: If you'd like to host Mari on your blog, please e-mail us with your request, or reply to this email. Also, be sure to check out our upcoming tours and our mass-blogging event in the sections below.

Mari states that "Journaling is unparalleled in its ability to reveal new information about our inner life, conditioning, experiences and thoughts." Mari knows this first hand. During a Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation Mari turned to journaling to assist in recovery and unknowingly embarked on a new life.
Through journaling Mari discovered many things about herself, like her desire and talent for singing! She also found a desire to assist others in how to use this powerful tool. The result is her Create Write Now website where she offers personal journaling therapy sessions, newsletters, e-books and other resources to help people make their own wondrous self-discoveries.

| About Who Are You? How to Use Journal Therapy to Know and Grow Your Life |
Sometimes who we really are is a mystery even to ourselves. As we grow into adulthood and through the phases of establishing home and job, raising families, divorce and loss, career changes and daily life something happens. We are no longer who we thought we were or who family and friends think they see--but who are we really? It is a mystery only we can solve--with some quiet introspection. Mari L. McCarthy's new e-book, Who Are You? How to Use Journaling Therapy to Know and Grow Your Life, was written especially for the purpose of this journey through self-discovery.
Within this 30-page e-book, Mari will guide you to:- Make peace with the past and gain new respect for the wiser you.
- Learn to recognize and work with your inner critic and inner coach.
- Explore your dream language.
- Develop a new sense of wholeness in the connection of mind and body.
Whether your intent is to invite healing, seek change, or simply discover more about what makes you tick (or ticked off), Who Are You? How to Use Journaling Therapy to Know and Grow Your Life will help you uncover the answers.
The e-book is available for Kindle, iBook, Sony, Nook, and on Smashwords.
