I’ve been journaling almost 30 years, since December 24th, 1994 to be exact. I was 11 years old when I started. Of course I couldn’t tell you I’d still be writing 20+ years down the road, but I’m sure glad I have continued this. I find writing info to be very therapeutic.

I am quite interested to explore modes of diary keeping and journalling. As I contemplate my own, I’d be curious to know more about the types of formats people use. There is the romantic notion a bound moleskin with entries made regularly with a legible hand. I have found that to be unattainable, and have found my beautiful leather bound diary to be anywhere but where I was when the muse told me to make a diary entry! I have resorted to random scraps of paper, anything that is available when I feel the need to journal. My iPhone Notes pad has also become a go-to place for diary entries — all of which eventually finds it way to an electronic version. I would therefore love to hear about how others keep theirs.

What I love about this is that it captures both the light and the dark of journaling. I fell in love with the idea of Julie Cameron’s morning pages, but found I had to stop because I was getting lost in sadness and grief. Yet I need to journal. So helpful to find your post and all the commenters.

In reply to Liz.

Hi Liz,

Thanks for sharing! We love when journalling is passed down from generation to generation, though we certainly understand your trepidation about letting your daughters read your most private thoughts. Keeping track of different themes that come up can be really illuminating, and your idea of starting book sounds really intriguing!

Best of luck,
The Paperblanks Team
