Why 'Diary'?
Diary is one of my favourite books. I absolutely love it - it's the second book by Palahniuk that I've read.
Why 'Inspiration'?
Well, I'm not very good at summing it all up in just one word, am I? I actually considered Whispering Walls and Can you feel this? (which came pretty close), but I ended up with my first, out of the top of my head idea.
Might I just add that I LOVE the layout. Notice the broken jewelry (I broke it myself). Notice the antique chair and dirty paintbrushes. Notice the fish bone. I just love the damn book ;)

WARNING! Contains spoilers!
"CAN YOU FEEL THIS?"
Diary takes the form of a "coma diary" kept by one Misty Tracy Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in a hospital after a suicide attempt. Once she was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom; now, after marrying Peter at school and being brought back to once quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she's been reduced to the condition of a resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been hiding rooms in houses he's remodeled and scrawling vile messages all over the walls-an old habit of builders but dramatically overdone in Peter's case. Angry homeowners are suing left and right, and Misty's dreams of artistic greatness are in ashes. But then, as if possessed by the spirit of Maura Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea artist of the nineteenth century, Misty begins painting again, compulsively. But can her newly discovered talent be part of a larger, darker plan? Of course it can …
