Praise for Wreck This Journal
“Not gonna lie, this is probably the coolest journal you’ll ever
see. . . . Wreck This Journal is here to inspire you.”
—Buzzfeed
“Wreck This Journal encourages you to stop fretting about
quality and start relishing the artistic
process.” —Oprah.com
“Smith’s journal is about destruction, asking readers to poke
through pages, submerge them, attach photos and then deface them,
and essentially revel in our ‘mistakes.’ The finished
product—crumpled pages and sometimes doubled in size—is itself a
masterpiece.” —BuzzFeed, Journals That Will Give Your
Brain A Workout
“I love this book and the playful way that Keri Smith teaches
people the act of creating by putting you right on the
spot. Wreck This Journal is a fun, interactive book that
you will want to work in every day. To create is to destroy, and
this book delivers.” —D*I*Y Planner

something interesting to do. . . . The book is an exploration into
creativity.” —Buffalo News

matter, as what I love about this book is that there is no right or
wrong. Neat, messy, colorful, dark, you can wreck however you
want.” —Hawwa, etc.
“I’ve kept journals before, but have never written in them as
frequently as I write in my Wreck This Journal. It is
great for inspiration; it gives you tasks that are
thought-provoking rather than pages of endless blank lines. It is a
great way to pass the time and a great gift for anyone, no matter
how young or old.” —Teen Ink

through a stressful time, needs a form of release, or anyone who
could use a few minutes of fun.” —Jactionary

prompts, destructive prompts, creative prompts to help your
creative juices flow.” —Craft Critique

Journal is the perfect book to spruce up your summer. . .
