So... I can't really think of anything more to post except for maybe more examples.
That said, we went on spring break and this entire thing seems to have been put on the back burner due to Thesis. [Which I plan to have mostly completed by the end of this month, hopefully by the closed door crit next week]
Anyway, I digress.
More examples:
I found a book called Castle Diary: the Journal of Tobias Burgess, which seems to be a fictional, illustrated journal of an eleven year old boy's castle life.
While it would be neat to illustrate my story, I haven't the time to do so this semester, maybe its a project for another day... or year.
The writer/illustrator that did the Castle Diary also has an illustrated Pirate Diary that follower a nine year old carpenter's apprentice.
Further searching turned up something called Mourning Diary. [Excerpt Here]
Synopsis:
The day after his mother’s death in October 1977, the influential philosopher Roland Barthes began a diary of mourning. Taking notes on index cards as was his habit, he reflected on a new solitude, on the ebb and flow of sadness, and on modern society’s dismissal of grief. These 330 cards, published here for the first time, prove a skeleton key to the themes he tackled throughout his work. Behind the unflagging mind, “the most consistently intelligent, important, and useful literary critic to have emerged anywhere” (Susan Sontag), lay a deeply sensitive man who cherished his mother with a devotion unknown even to his closest friends.
