Two Japanese in America by Midori Muramatsu and Yayoi Nakasone

Willa's Journal by Willa Cline
"I've always wanted to write, but my writing never really had a focus before. I've kept journals sporadically all my life, but in the last few years started keeping one in earnest, in an attempt to figure out some things that were happening in my life. About a year ago I decided to create a web site that mirrored the journals I was keeping in my real life--a daily journal, a dream journal, and a 'book of books,' a listing of books that had made an impression on me--although I had no real idea who the intended audience was or what such a journal's purpose might be."
Daily Epiphany by Bill Chance
"Life is full of "little epiphanies" - moments when everything seems to make sense, when the universe, while flawed, at least seems comprehensible for a split second.It is my ambition to record these moments - convert them to electrons - and shoot them out across the web."
Journal of a Sabatical by Janet Egan
"In February of 1995, I left "high-tech" to take some much needed time off. Many of my friends and former colleagues have been wondering what the heck I have been doing since, and asking if I am ever going back. I wondered those things too, so I started a journal to help myself answer those questions. In July 1996, I started putting that journal on-line. You're more than welcome to have a look."
Reflections of Japan by Aaron Bishop
