The Journal Writer

Journal writers aim to educate others on important matters within specific fields. Chris’ goal, however, was to educate himself on an important matter within a very specific field: himself.

As Chris began writing, he discovered his journal entries were small, seemingly unconnected short stories. As he pieced them together, a larger, finely detailed narrative emerged, one he could see and understand more clearly.

This is the story of a man who comes to realize he is completely broken. After even deeper self-introspection, he resolves to fix himself.

Can he succeed? Does he possess the long-term tenacity needed for this journey? Will he ultimately achieve his goal?

Peter Skeels has been a draft dodger, a traveller, a stonemason, a single parent, a teacher, a businessman, a life coach and a storyteller. He has lived and travelled extensively throughout America and Europe. He sought to find his way in life despite not having a handy how-to guide. His two constant guiding principles are his belief in the Creator and always trying to do the next right thing. All the while, he has been, more than anything else, a naturally happy survivor.
