Different ways to fill empty journals: part 1

So, it’s that time of the year when the pages are starting to become fewer and fewer in my bullet journal. When that happens, I run along to my favourite stationery store, wishing, wishing, that I will find a new journal for a decent price. And I did.

I love when $17 journals turn into $5 journals… It’s one of the best deals when you’re a journal enthusiast. The downside of that deal is I also end up buying more journals than I need. It’s in my nature! I can’t help it.

My Creative Writing Process

There is nothing more engaging and exciting than two creators talking about their art. I myself have a friend who is very gifted at digital drawing, and I always take the chance to learn more about her process and support her progress. She, too, is always eager to hear about my creative writing.

One thing engaging with other writers and artists has taught me is that there is no right or wrong way to write a story or do anything remotely artistic.

75 Things to do at home

I know how annoyingly boring it can be to stay indoors. So, I thought it would be fun to make a list of activities to do during the day to stay productive, creative, and positive during this difficult time.

When you’re introverted, you find numerous ways to enjoy spending time with yourself. Solitude is not only peaceful, it is an act of self-care. It is a time to focus on things that matter to you, that you might sometimes overlook.

Journal With Me: books, tv & film

Books, media and pop culture are a huge part of our lives. Everyone is either logged onto to their Netflix account, listening to music on Spotify, or binge-reading a new book.

I’ve praised keeping a media journal in the past as a way to track all the things that entertain you. And as a way of writing down your thoughts and ideas about them.

Sadly, I’ve neglected my media journal for the last few months. But I am motivated and excited to start writing in it again. This time, I’ve created a monthly spread with specific pages to fill in as well as blank pages for any other ideas I have.

World-building Inspiration: Geography

World-building is one of my favourite things to do. Especially when I find a new project to work on or I need a break from my current writing project.

Creating a unique, exciting world from scratch it what makes different fantasy novels so unique and exciting to read.

I’ve been thinking for a while now that fantasy literature is starting to make a comeback. And this makes writing fantasy even more inspiring and fun to do. But it is no easy feat. There is a lot of work that goes into creating a rich, imaginative world that feels real.

Journal Prompts for Reflection

As 2019 comes to a close, the month of December is starting to feel like a great time to think about the past, present and future. To reflect on all your goals for the new year and all the achievements AND failures.

Holding onto memories is so important, especially if you want to look back on them one day. Writing in a journal is a great way to do this.

Journal With Me: December 2019

One of my favourite things about using a bullet journal is that it’s a creative outlet. With an empty journal, you get to decide what you write, how you write and how it looks. More than that, you get to be adaptable and experimental. To have fun with it.

In my journaling journey (great alliteration), I’ve tried so many things. I’ve used different styles of weekly summaries, habit trackers and mood trackers, to name some. At the end of every month, when I sit down to create the next spread, I always take a moment to think about what it is I want to focus on the following month.
