1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080 Hello, and good morning you too. How are you doing good? How 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,519 about you? Arrow? We're wonderful. Wow, that is absolutely fantastic. 3 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:10,160 You're doing something with these diaries. Now let me ask. I'm just gonna 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,960 be because I am a daily writer and I've been a daily writer since July 5 00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:17,399 of two thousand, July of nineteen ninety four. There we go, and 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,600 so a lot of people that I try to help understand why you journal write, 7 00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:23,640 they stand back, going, I could never release it, I could 8 00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:27,120 never do anything. Is this a physical journal? Is it a diary? 9 00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:34,920 Or is it a storyline for Dark Diary? Yes? Yes, it is 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,439 based on the life of Nikki, my daughter's here. Yeah, it's such 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,479 technically, but a lot of the stories and things are inspired by real life 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,640 events that she experienced. See that's what I love about it, because you 13 00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:53,679 know, a lot of people like to hide with their writing, when in 14 00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,600 fact, I mean you're showing people that, Look, there's still a lot 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600 of fun things that you can put out there and share it because we have 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600 our own personal experiences. We can all go through the same thing, but 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,519 we're not wearing the same shoes. And that's what's fun about writing, is 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:11,680 that is that you're able to share the experience. Very very true, very 19 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,359 true. I totally agree. The illustrations are kind of funny because we're all 20 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,400 doodlers. And I love the way I mean, I realize these are beautiful 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,319 pictures of people, especially one of the smartphone conversations and things, but I 22 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,560 love the way that you make it look so authentic. Oh, thank you, 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,959 thank you so much. This is nicky here. Well, Nikki, 24 00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,239 what's the concept of of having the illustrations and things like that. Is it 25 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,719 just to entertain the reader or is it something that you were feeling at the 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,879 time. It's a little bit of both. I'm thinking about what the reader 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,760 would like to see and what would be the most entertaining in that moment. 28 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:55,760 And I'm also chaling channeling my own feelings and experiences to make the artwork more 29 00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:00,719 authentic. And what's funny about this? And I giggle like a child only 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,439 because I live it. I love the size of sometimes the spelling, like 31 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000 when you're going to stop, stop stop, I mean, I mean, 32 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,000 you're not following the rules of spelling correctly. You're putting it in there exactly 33 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,560 the way you feel it in that moment. Yeah, correct, And I 34 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,319 would add too, that the inspiration for Dark Diaries was that NICKI has been 35 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,520 journaling, probably since she was old enough to actually write. I started out 36 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,879 buying her like just a little spiral notebooks you see in the grocery stores. 37 00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:31,159 She would inevitably sell it up to just a few days, and to this 38 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,759 day when she comes into work, I've built a studio in my home and 39 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,879 she comes in every day and works in her art studio. She spends the 40 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,120 first half an hour to an hour of the morning journaling and writing in a 41 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,960 diary, even even now, so it's totally authentic just to her. Well, 42 00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:52,439 let's let's talk about that from one from one journal writer to another one. 43 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,400 Because I'm twenty nine years into this journey and the question is what am 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,439 I going to do with all of these books when my time on earth is 45 00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,400 over? I'm to ask you what's going to happen to all of that writing. 46 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,479 That's a really good question. Arrow Well. First of all, I 47 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,560 keep all my diaries and journals where I can see them. Some are in 48 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,479 places in the basement, and I want to bring them out, dust them 49 00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,400 off, and keep them right where they are. And then as long as 50 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,520 the legacy of dork garis continues within the family. I'd probably like to test 51 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:38,199 them down to my family members and inspire them to continue writing and journaling everything 52 00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:43,039 in their lives. I swear we came from the same mold because my writing, 53 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,039 all of my books are inside the studio because there's still energy in the 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,960 pages where the ink is, and so you're right, I have to see 55 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,680 the and I don't hide my journals. They're out in the open. Yeah. 56 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:59,479 Yeah, same here. Well, Mike, I have one in my 57 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,520 office. It's kind of like a plannery where I planned my day and journal 58 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,680 in it too, and I fill it out with lots of colorful fun stickers. 59 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:11,800 And then there are also some in in my bedroom as well, so 60 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:15,399 it's both public and then also a little private, depending on how I feel 61 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:19,879 about the entry. Why dork Diaries, because you know, dork is kind 62 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,720 of one of those words. And the reason why I bring that up is 63 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,879 because there have been many times and I've said, what a dork. Quick 64 00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:28,000 quit being a dork, dude, Just ah, come on, change it, 65 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,639 Yes, exactly, And that's what my daughter was going through. Her 66 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,759 dad is like six four or so, and so she inherited his height so 67 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,399 what do you five? Kay, She's five ten, probably even closer to 68 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,720 five eleven, and she was always the tallest child in her class from kindergarten 69 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:55,199 on up, you know, through even high school. So she was teased 70 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,920 for that. Kids you know called her skinny mini you know, off kind, 71 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920 and she was bullied and made to feel awkward to due to the fact 72 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,360 that she was, you know, taller, the tallest kid, taller than 73 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:11,720 the boys even in most cases. So that was something she said she had 74 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,680 to deal with, especially through elementary school and middle school. And by the 75 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,240 time she got to high school, all the you know kids were you know, 76 00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:20,279 getting growing into their full height, so it wasn't quite as bad then, 77 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:25,240 but that's something she had to deal with. And when I decided to 78 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,879 write a book, I wanted it to be something inspiring, and I thought 79 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:33,920 if I could kind of capture some of the anguish that Nicki and even her 80 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:38,759 sister, to a certain esent, we're going through growing up and put that 81 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,759 out in the world and add a little humor and show that there's hope and 82 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,560 that their kids just need to hang in there and things will get better, 83 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,720 and that there's other kids out there that they can be friends with that are 84 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,800 kind is, that will value them and you know, be of friends for 85 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,319 them. So that was my goal with Dirk Diaries was to capture, you 86 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,240 know, some of the experiences that NICKI was having, put it out there 87 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,199 with humor, and then have it be an inspiration to kids. And I 88 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,959 think it works. We're like at fifty five million copies and forty six countries 89 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:15,560 and forty two languages, so Georg Dowry has gone all the way around the 90 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,600 world and kids they're reading it all over the world. I truly understand why 91 00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:24,279 by inspiring kids to write, That's always been one of my arguments with teachers. 92 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,319 It's like, I understand you're sharing, you know, the ideas on 93 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,240 why they should read and why they should read this and read this, But 94 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,120 if they don't learn how to put a pen or a pencil in their hand 95 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,199 and write their own stories, they're missing out on the greatest part of the 96 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,519 journey. I totally agree. I totally agree with you. So now, 97 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,680 Nikki, just between us two here, because we're journaling, does your mom 98 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,839 journal I mean, is your mom journaling too? And do you get to 99 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:53,360 read her stuff? No? Probably not as much as me. I'm a 100 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,079 real journal had I do it pretty much daily. Yes, I don't. 101 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,519 I'm so busy, you know, you know, the books, you know 102 00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:06,600 whatever. But so yeah, Nick, nikki diary is enough for me and 103 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:13,000 herself definitely, you know. And that's why I've chose the whole diary format 104 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,759 because both her and her sister, you know, love journaling. But like 105 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,120 the Nikki does it to this day, so Nikki backs well. Writing in 106 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,920 a diary is basically my daughter, Nikki writing in a diary. And if 107 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,839 I could quickly add, I've really gotten into the Q and A a day. 108 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,120 Yes, I'm journaling dingy where you answer one question a day and it 109 00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,439 asks you each year for about five years and you see how your answers shame. 110 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,319 I've gotten into that lately and I do it almost daily. It's a 111 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:47,560 lot of fun. I love doing that as well. And I call that 112 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,279 defragging because we defrag a computer, why can't we defrag our mind, body 113 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:56,079 and soul as well? But you're absolutely right, ask the questions and questioning 114 00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:01,000 the answers. You're so spot on on that. And then my favorite when 115 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,680 I do fit out and you know, try to take time. My favorite 116 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,639 journaling is gratitude journalist. I like even if it's just a little list of 117 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120 five things or ten things that I'm totally grateful for. So that's that would 118 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,959 be my favorite format. And it's a little bit faster too. The fun 119 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,920 part about dork Diary is this particular journey. It says, tales from a 120 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,120 not so posh Paris adventure. The fact that you that you were writing while 121 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,319 you were out and about. I mean, that's what journal writers do. 122 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,439 It's almost like we are making the map for future readers to say, this 123 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,919 is where we were, this is what I experienced. It didn't go so 124 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,600 perfect, but I'm going to share it with you anyway. M H. 125 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,480 Totally correct, definitely. But to be that open and honest, I mean, 126 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,799 I mean we all like taking trips, like for instance, like if 127 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,120 I go on a camping trip, I've got all my journals with me and 128 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,720 I'll sit there next to the campfire writing away. And that's what I feel 129 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:52,559 when when you're you're in Paris inside this book, it's like, oh my 130 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,759 god, she's doing exactly what I do as well as as a journal keeper. 131 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,039 Yes, and then you capture the good, the best, the ugly, 132 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,960 the wonderful, the humorous, just any and everything you know that moves 133 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,799 you. You can record it. Are you using a writing instrument in any 134 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:16,080 or are you are you typing it all out? So I do the good 135 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,600 old fashioned tin and paper. There's just something so cathartic about it. That's 136 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,799 my favorite. Although sometimes I wonder what it's like to do it on the 137 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,360 computer because with pen and paper you sometimes make mistakes and have to sketch stuff 138 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,480 out, But with the computer it's easy to delete and start afresh. So 139 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,120 I think considering computer lately, well, Julia Cameron from The Artist Way says, 140 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,679 that's when the perfectionist is going to step in, and the things that 141 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,080 you wanted to say, you're just going to keep e racing and going back 142 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,879 and you're never gonna get done with your three pages that day. Oh well, 143 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,720 maybe I should just stick the pen and paper. Then, but you 144 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,480 have books. She actually writes the books. It's feels more authentic that way 145 00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:00,279 for me. Do you have a favorite kind of journal? Be because I 146 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,879 mean I I am one of those people. I have one of those gigantic 147 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,360 art books. That's the paper I like because my left hand has got to 148 00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:09,200 be cuddled up to the texture of that page while I'm writing. Does paper 149 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,559 is it important to you as well? Yes? So one of my favorite 150 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080 things to do is go to stores where they have journals, just leave you 151 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,879 all of them and admire the covers and the pape format. All of that 152 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,039 matters to me as well. I like getting journals that look really, really 153 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:35,279 nice on the cover. The cover looks so nice and the pages have just 154 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,399 enough lines for me to write as much as I need to because I write 155 00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:43,200 a lot, and I also like to skip lines that way. There follow 156 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:48,759 the entry. The last theory that was it oversized? Wasn't it kind of 157 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,799 large? Yeah? One that came in Yeah, yes, oh yes, 158 00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,000 it was so beautiful. I'm like Nikki, I so I her diary. 159 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Hope Prompts decided it too. The prompt gave me topics write about it, 160 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,360 which was good, and it was so beautiful. I want what. I 161 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,039 ended up buying the exact same thing, and they are. They were oversized 162 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,240 and they reminded me of art books. But it was like a textured leather 163 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,480 cover or it was just gorgeous and beautiful just to look at. Do you 164 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,799 ever have those moments when you go into the store, and and when when 165 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,120 you're purchasing the journal, it's it's like they sit there and they make a 166 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,080 comment, and inside your mind you go, you have no idea, what's 167 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,600 about ready to grow inside these pages? Yeah, a lot of thought goes 168 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:43,120 into what you put into your journal. So yes, yeah, are you 169 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,960 expecting people to reach out to you and and and talk about their own journals? 170 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,080 Order how can I get started? Because this seems to be such an 171 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,399 interaction type of book. Actually, we have two books that are set up 172 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,399 to encourage kids to start keeping their own eyes diary. Our fourth book is 173 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:07,279 How to Dork Your Diary, and it's a story about Nikki losing her diary 174 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,799 and having to start over, and when she's starting over, she explains the 175 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200 process to kids. And then that book, I think the last fifty pages 176 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,639 are blank for kids to start their own diary. And then we made a 177 00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,080 daily journal and that like book seven and it's OMG all about Me Diary, 178 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:33,480 And that book is an annual calendar. In each day there's a journal entry, 179 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,360 there's a quote kind of the Q and a where there's either a topic 180 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:39,279 that you discussed or there's a question to ask, and there's stree hundred and 181 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,159 sixty five of those in there. But each journal also has three sections, 182 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,759 so you can come back the following year and answer the questions again, and 183 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,480 then answer the third year, and then when you look back you can see, 184 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,960 you know, how you've grown, it's the same, or what's changed 185 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,960 and what's not. So we have two books that are Door Diary's branded books 186 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,559 that encourage kids to keep diaries and to journal and all of that, so 187 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,799 that is not only loving the series, they can immerse themselves in the whole 188 00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,279 diary process as well. How how old are you, Nikki? Because and 189 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,679 the reason why is because we've all endured a lot in the past ten to 190 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,840 twenty years. And it's like, I mean, as journal writers, we 191 00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:22,679 document history. And when you talk about going back three years and things like 192 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,159 that, we can learn a lot from how we grew through the storms that 193 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,080 were around us that we had no control over, but yet as writers we 194 00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:35,600 still documented it. Yes, so I am thirty eight years young, and 195 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,600 I've seen a lot and I've heard a lot, and it's great to have 196 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:46,159 a place to share all my feelings and observations in a diary. Yeah, 197 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,480 because I mean I was writing what during nine to eleven and to go back 198 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:54,080 there and to read it and to relive it, My god, I mean, 199 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,279 I don't understand how it didn't affect me even more than what it did, 200 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,039 because in my present place at sixty one, the emotion that was put 201 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,320 into the page, yes, oh yes, yeah, there are very emotive 202 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,960 entries as I look back and everything I went for you as well, it 203 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120 truly is, and you relive it all as you read it? Do? 204 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,600 You write in third person? And the reason why I bring that up is 205 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,200 because when you're sitting here is Brandon and Nikki, don't you dare just sit 206 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,600 there alone? Come and join us? I mean, all of a sudden, 207 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,200 it's like, Okay, that's your own little world that you've created, 208 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,759 and it's like to me that I love it when you can take it to 209 00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:39,480 another level. So I write in first person, just like Niki does, 210 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:48,720 and it just helps me to rehash everything from my perspective. What about you, 211 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,039 Aero? Well, I what There are times, because I keep so 212 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,039 many different journals, there are times where it's just me writing, Like like 213 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:58,440 when I defrag, it's it's me asking the question and then questioning the answers. 214 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:01,120 But then there are times that because I take it and I put them 215 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,360 into podcasts, I think about that listener while I'm writing because I don't want 216 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,519 it to be all about what I'm doing and so so therefore that so I 217 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,720 take it to that kind of a level. M Okay, very cool. 218 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,240 Now. One of my favorite parts is where you're a little bit angry with 219 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,879 with Mackenzie as a journal writer. Did you ever did you ever, in 220 00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:26,840 your own writing way put a curse on somebody? Because I'm guilty of that, 221 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,039 Matt way, I'm coming through radio, I put a curse on people, 222 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:39,159 and it's like, don't do that. So I admit, when I'm 223 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:48,600 really really upset, sometimes I do what Nikki does. I can criticize myself, 224 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:54,320 and looking back, I realized I needed to vent and be honest. 225 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,279 I was just really really disapproving of myself in that moment. So it also 226 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:00,840 hurts to put yourself down, and you need to be in the root of 227 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:06,840 also building yourself up, because you need yourself to pull yourself out of that 228 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,320 valley in that slump. Some of the times when I write in my diary, 229 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:15,279 I feel very upset, and the very best way to get out of 230 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,279 feeling upset is to think positive. It's not always easy, but it does 231 00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:23,159 help. Well do you do you use what I call hidden speak In other 232 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,759 words, even though you do have that negative vibration, even for you, 233 00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:32,399 Rachel, is that you use the power of positive thinking to create a sentence 234 00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:36,879 to kind of refuel your thought process and get it on that positive way of 235 00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:38,960 thinking. So in other words, you you basically you know you you hiddn't 236 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,919 speak it. In other words, you don't speak it out the way it 237 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:47,519 really is. You kind of just rewrite it because winning is a choice exactly. 238 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:52,480 And then I think, I there're a lot of feedback. Nicky Maxwell 239 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,799 a lot of times will say something and it will be the truth, it 240 00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:02,279 will be how she feels. But she ends it with, but I just 241 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,759 said it inside my head, so nobody heard It'll tell Mackenzie, Mackenzie, 242 00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:12,640 will you please be quiet. I'm tired of you putting people down. I'm 243 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,519 tired of you be selfish. Just be quiet and just you know, quit 244 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,200 harassing people. And that's what she will write in her diary. But then 245 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,559 she said, but I just said that in my head and nobody else heard 246 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,799 it except me. So that's how she's able to vent. Sometimes she'll say 247 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,920 exactly what she's thinking, but she would never say it out. Well, 248 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,359 she's not quite that. I totally agree with that. And then what is 249 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,640 it The experts say that we should just write it out and then just throw 250 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,720 it away. I don't. I don't have the courage to throw it away. 251 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:42,640 I want to. I'm going to hold onto it a different head, 252 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,839 jo, so hold it in your congratulations on Dork Diaries Tales from a not 253 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,039 so posh Paris Adventure.
