Journal Entry 4

Katriel and Farrel contribute to our conversation about everyday writing by explaining that scrapbooking has become a common practice in our lives and how the collage of words and pictures reflects life stories. Everyone has, at one point or another, created, received or looked at a scrapbook. Scrapbooks help us create a timeline of our lives. Zines, a do it yourself magazine, would be considered a piece of everyday writing as each one is unique and there is little outside resources you would need to acquire to make one. Both Katriel and Farrels' writing on scrapbooks and the wikibook article on Zine making have given me a better understanding of what everyday writing is.
