An Experiment in Journaling
I've been struggling to make time to either journal or draw.
The last I journaled regularly was in the winter of 2016/2017. Before that, it had been a number of years as well. I type so much faster than I write by hand, and my handwriting is atrocious. But when I type my journal entries... it's too easy to get distracted and do something else, or to edit as I go, instead of just letting the words spill out.
As for drawing, it's not that I'm not drawing, it's that I'm not drawing regularly. It's felt like an effort, which is unfortunate, as drawing was what I was doing to relax.
So I made a choice.

I've been struggling to get to my desk to draw. And instead of journaling, I've listened to that persistent, negative voice in my head that claims it's just narcissistic navel gazing.
So, to get myself to my desk each day to draw or journal, I hand bound an A6 journal over the weekend. It has 32 pages, so the idea is to do a page a day, and to bind a new journal each month.
Let's see if this habit takes off!
