It’s not clutter if it inspires you!

I’ve never journalled well. I’ve got a book shelf full of journals with one page of written stuff. This is the closest I’ve ever gotten to it.

Since I started blogging I haven’t been journalling very much. Reading your post just not I finally realize what’s been missing and why I am feeling so creatively twitchy.
I use the same journals as you – the blank black hardcover ones just seem like the right place to go for protection of all of those juices. And like you, my creative space is in chaos (and I wish I had the space for even more!) Up until now my entries have been as scattered as my supplies. Thank you for reminding me how much I need to get back to it!

What an inspiration you are. I love reading your posts and love your art work. I kept jouranls for a spell from ages 10 until shortly after college. The sad part is I not longer have them to look back on becasue they were lost in a move I made shortly there after. After that somehow I never was able to be consistant in filling my journals and so I have only scattered fragments of my life since in written form. But this post has inspried me to fill my shelves again.

Yeah, I have kept a journal/diary since I was six. I now have about 100 volumes, and they’ve discontinued the fabric-covered books I used to use. Pretty soon I’ll be out of them, and I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Wahhh!!

Your journal evolution sounds so similiar to mine. I too have stacks of cloth covered floral journals that are lined. I dated someone for 6 years and after we broke up my journals got a bit more funky on the outside and I started adding some doodling to the writing on the inside. Then about a year ago my journals finally exploded when I participated in Kat’s Paws Art Everyday Month. Now I have 3 or 4 journals going at once all color and light and words and paint and just the love that my life is.

i’m a messy creator too…okay i’ll admit it i’m just messy. i enjoy it until it’s so messy that i’m avoiding my space and then i know it’s time to clean…which i hate.
i’ve never been very organized with my journals and this has made me stop and consider maybe keeping my journals a little differently…hmmm.

Fun to hear how your working style is evolving, and how you’re adapting to chaos! A little bit of mess can be inspiring, and you know when it’s time to tame it; you just feel it. And I also label my journal’s spines — I like these lined hardcover composition books for the journals that are essentially my fiction research & inspiration notebooks — these get collaged on front, back, and spine. Spiral-bound journals for random ideas and tiny stories and such. Travel journals are a different kind altogether. It’s like different “species’ of journals!
