Title: ah, to hear the thoughts of a self-loathing 21 year old...
Review: Seriously.I got this book when I decided to start journaling my own ordeal with breast cancer. As a former architect, I have some drawing skills still, but they're rusty. So I got this book in order to kick my creative juices into high gear.The pages are all so similar. Similar colors, similar self-depricating thoughts and self doubt, similar media and technique (no, SAME technique and media)While I could appreciate a page or two, a whole book of this "I hate myself, and I need to be loved" BS was a bit much.I probably would have churned out a similar, steaming pile at the age of 21, but at 42, I'm looking for more variety, more design elements, more work and less blah-blah about how much she worries about having freckles, (gee, would I offer to trade cancer for freckles? Hmm.) And similar stuff.It's enough to find this at any bookstore and leaf through it in 2 or 3 minutes, you will not devour, or refer back to anything here.
