The journal so inviting until you open it a see a blank page, i'm so much more likely to write on a notepad or blank page. Though when I was much younger I'd filled a couple with poetry, but that was before my computer and keyboard. Hope you fill every last page of yours!
Sukhmandir: I do tend to fill every page of my journals, and have filled an entire storage bin over the decades. Some days it is no more than a page, and others are several pages long. It all depends on the mood!
How wonderful. I love journals. I love paper and pens. While I appreciate the speed with which I can type, I still prefer writing with pen and paper most of the time. Happy WW!
Great shot!

The impulse is to pick up the pen and open the journal on seeing the photo. I don't do much handwriting these days because it hurts my wrist too much.
That looks all ready to write your deepest secrets in :)
I have a lot of "nice" journals that sit with nothing written in them, but many $0.99 notebooks that are full. I would hate to think how much paper it would take if I printed everything I do on the computer out.
Dianne: I too love journals, one of my biggest weaknesses. I sometimes find it easier to get thoughts out on paper than by typing.
Liz: Thank you! :)
Shelley: There are times I've written so much that ny wrist does start to hurt. I've found, though, that it helps to put a thin paperback book under one side of journals that don't lie quite flat, bottom sticking out to support hand/wrist near end of the page.
artangel: Secrets and then some! I often copy in quotes I like, or paste in song lyrics or short articles of interest. *WG*
Anita: I have a few spiral notebooks that have been used as writing journals over the years, but I primarily favor spiral-bound journals. Unfortunately, last time I needed a new one, the closest bookstore did not have one that suited me at a reasonable price, but they had a two-pack of these at a bargain price, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to switch it up a bit.
Since starting this second one, though, I have been on the prowl for another spiral-bound before I actually need it.
I have a few handwritten journals--one of them an old scraggly school folder that I carried with me all through most of high school. It blended with my notebooks so I could write while I was supposed to be learning.
I'm currently keeping a couple of different handwritten journals though I admit I'm not as good at keeping up with them as I used to. Guess I don't have as much angst these days. ;-)
BTW, love the new profile pic! You look so sweet! :)
Jana: What really got me into the hbit of keeping a journal was when we had to keep one for a HS English class. I used a regular notebook then which, as you pointed out, blended in well with my course notebooks. And, I confess, there may have occasionally been some writing in them during classes.
Do you think blogging has affected the way you keep up with handwritten journaling? I sometimes experience that difficulty after writng about something online or in email. Often I will simply print those emails/posts out to add to my journal later. I do that with a lot of my Thursday Thirteen posts, too.
And thanks for noticing the new pic. I was wondering last night if anyone would take note, or how long it would take for people to do so. Less than 24 hours--not bad! ;)
I definitely think blogging has affected the way I journal. But my blogging seems to have the same positive effect on me that journaling always has.
On the flip side, I think I'm a lot more cautious in what I blog about these days than I used to be. And definitely more than I am when I journal.
Bet you're thinking, "Cautious where?" ;-)
Nah, I understand the "cautious" bit. I find it much harder to open up online since-- Well, I think you can probably guess how far back that goes, and with obvious good reason. ;-)
