Katriel and Farrell contribute to our ongoing conversations about everyday writing in a number of ways. At one point they stated, “It is our intention that the scrapbook provides an exemplary case of such a “genre of self”. We have discussed many things in class that you could categorize as “genre of self”. Personal notes, reminders, diaries, etc. can all be considered under the “genre of self”. They just decided to use scrapbooks as another example that could fall under that category. They go on (in great detail) to talk about the significance of the “scrapbook” and the plethora of ways in which they can be/ are used. Essentially, a scrapbook is documented information when people had fun. The expected age is between early childhood and early adulthood. They even went on to say that when you get beyond those years, say 35 and up, people at that age write scrapbooks about times when they were in their younger years.  The similarities to scrapbooks and diaries are rather evident at this point. Because people generally enjoy writing these things, that means that we are fully capable of picking up a notebook and going through the process of writing in it every day, thus making it an example of everyday writing.  Zine making is similar to the scrapbook and the “genre of self”, but I think making zines are a little bit more complicated and take a little bit more time. However, if one is interested enough in the art of zine making, it can definitely be considered an example of everyday writing.
