Update: Above are the books that have come out of Joni Cole’s Day Diary project. I submitted an entry on March 27, 2007, my birthday, and Joni was kind enough to send me a birthday greeting. The book from the 2007 project is The Watercooler Diaries (my submission wasn’t chosen), while the other is from a similar project in Jun 2003.
The makers of Lady Speed Stick® 24/7 and author Joni Cole of the series This Day in the Life: Diaries from Women across America are partnering on the first National Day Diary Project. Joni Cole was having a bad day when she conceived the idea for the This Day in the Life book series. Trying to deal with a serious illness in her family, job woes and a child who refused to wear socks in the winter, she wondered if anyone else was feeling so low. What were other women doing and feeling and thinking on the very same day? And so This Day in the Life was born out of self-pity, curiosity and a need to connect.
Submissions for the March 27 diary date can be entered online from March 27-April 6, 2007, to qualify for a chance at publication.
I submitted a diary entry on March 27 because it happens to be my birthday!
