While there are many groups and blogs that are dedicated to journaling, many focus on art journaling. This blog was created specifically for journal pages filled with writing so I don't post many art/bullet journal spreads. My goal is to make you want to write in your journal. :)

Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving. Moreover the writer invents himself as a character in this form. He shapes himself from the shards of the everyday, from the truth of that daily life. Which is also a truth not to be scorned.

Anna Kamienska, from “In That Great River: A Notebook,” Poetry (June, 2010)

I always find journaling a good way to reflect on my progress and figure out what to do next. I used to journal much more consistently when I first started it as an assignment from an English class. Right now I’m trying to do it at least once a week.

SM Shrake, Mortified 5/12/11

92YTribeca proudly presents Mortified, a comic excavation of artifacts of teen angst (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories and more) as shared by their original authors before total strangers. Mortified has been hailed a “cultural phenomenon” by Newsweek and was celebrated by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, Daily Candy and more. As the largest and longest running project of its kind, Mortified’s grassroots comedy collective has spent years sifting through hundreds of otherwise forgotten notebooks on a mission to celebrate the extraordinary lives of ordinary people—all in the noble pursuit of self-degradation.

Mortified is produced in NYC by Julia Wright.

I love Leuchtturm 1917 journals. They have such plush pages and they look so good when written on!
