journaling

i realize that the decline of my journal usage (or commonplace book) is due to my recent discovery of a threading system that lets me iterate on ideas frictionlessly. telegram might not be the best tool for this but it’s been good to me from the start because of its direct reply functionality....

I created a second pen loop by sewing together the the spare bands that were already there. Might have to think of something else for the ruler when I get to like the last third or so, but for now I’m really pleased with having everything in place like this.

I’ve never done cover pages before, my entries have always just run on one from the next, but I fell into the habit of doing a doodle calendar, then it expanded to two pages, then I needed to fill a blank page so the calendar would be on a single spread…...

Hey,...

Why shouldn’t adults be allowed to have fun colouring stuff?

Sometimes life gives you what you need, just when the previous journal (Leuchtturm) is about to run out of pages....

When I remember I add bits and pieces to my journal (I go through stages and then forget to collect stuff). I mostly use double-sided tape from the paint department at my local hardware store but I have a bottle of clear Elmers glue too, since I’ve seen that recommended quite a bit....

Hey!...

This link popped up in my RSS feed today and it looks really promising - the writer is looking more at the how-to side of journaling than sharing pretty pictures.

Hey! I’ve written a digital journal for the last couple of years. Backup there wasn’t a problem. But I struggled with finding the „perfect tool“ and switched from app to app and back until I just took a notebook and a fountain pen and started writing couple of months ago....

Mine is “What is your current favorite quote and why?”

A huge bucket of family drama was upended on me yesterday and when I sat down to write about it, I got all vague and glossed over it, even though I probably need to get it out somehow. I trust the people in my life not to read my journal but seemed like a risk or even a betrayal of confidence to put the words down....

I’m working on getting back into Journaling again but have been having a hard time finding the one right for me. I found a few that let me use my own handwriting (surface pro), but they upload everything to a cloud. Which I don’t want because A) I’m not going to be sharing my journal and B) I don’t want to have to pay...

Wanna get a post out to show appreciation for all types of journaling. Personally I’m boring and traditional with weekly entries that can be pages long of just emotional venting or thought processing. All of course written with a fountain pen with sparkly ink. I kinda want to switch it up a bit, get the creative juices flowing...

Sometimes we like to shake things up or just see how other people do things. Currently I have a super simple set up, hardcover Moleskine notebook with a fountain pen. Thinking about changing it out when it’s done due to minor bleed through.

I've started and stopped journalling more times than I can count. I keep getting advertised the Hero's Journal and am trying the free version out....

Thank you for creating this community, it's good to see more hobby communities start to appear around the 'verse.
