Something that helps me get over the fear of making a mistake when journaling is to write the entry on a separate piece of paper or ephemera and simply gluing, pasting, or clipping it onto the page!
Cool beans, and thank you! 💚I write in no less than 3 places a day…my brain has been a talker since elementary when I’d always get ‘Needs to improve’ on the ‘Listens attentively’ portion of my report card🤭
Beautiful pages.. relaxing video and great topic. I see so many people saying "just write" but when you've taken time to make a meaningful space it can be overwhelming. I will try this idea as sometimes I'm stuck on what to write about and would like it to be authentic not contrived.
I do not like my writing at all. And I make so many mistakes. But I never thought about a line tool. Maybe it will help me relax a little so I can release all those negative thoughts I have about journaling. Worth a try! Thanks for the inspiration 😀
My fingers get so sore when i write for a long time. I prefer to write with a pencil, might get some pencil grips. Not sire what causes my problem, will search youtube for an answer.
I'm the opposite - I can write at any given time about whatever, which is why my journal pages are often many pages long. What has not interested me is decorating my journal. It wasn't a "thing" when I was writing in my little diaries as a child in the 60's, then later as an adult. I did keep a scrap book, but it was sold *as* a scrapbook and was huge. I think it was the 80's when "formal scrap-booking" began - by that I mean products produced and sold specifically for scrapbooks which, more than not, were themed. People began purchasing a plethora of doo-dads. Jump ahead to the Bullet Journal as envisioned by Ryder Carroll as a way to corral paper flurry attacking our desks, purses, and pockets. Simple. Concise. I wonder who the first person was who thought, "Hmmmmm...I'm going to turn this dull Bullet Journal into a mini-scrapbook. A talk show host to whom I listen often says, "History doesn't repeat; it rhymes." This is not meant to put down anyone who loves decorating whatever you call your journal - bullet journal, junk journal, memory keeper, commonplace book, diary, etc. Just a different perspective from a writer as I so often see beautiful journals then hear the creator say, "I don't know what I'll write in it; I never know what to write." 😉
Thank you for your video! I saw different ones from you and I like how you are doing them. May I ask you where you found this beautiful lamp on your desk? I just love it! Greetings from Claudia in germany.
You make some of the most beautiful videos. Great calm voice and very inviting. You cover the subject well and answer a lot of the questions I’ve been thinking of. Thank you. Keep it up. New subscriber. 👍
Another great video. I always look forward to your videos as they are so informative and I also love listening to your voice. Just wondering what typewriter you have. I am really interested in purchasing one so I don't have to keep setting up my printer.

I normally do all my writing in another journal to express my feelings, insights and plans for the future. Initially, I used 'morning pages' style as discussed in Artist's way but nowadays I tend to write either 1 and half or 2 pages depending on how I feel. With junk journals the pages are heavily collaged there's little room to write unless I use journaling card, labels or tags. My earliest junk journals had little writing except for quotes. After watching some of your videos they gave me courage to write. I prefer to use fountain pens it makes the process feels special.
Another lovely video Bree, I love how you focus on writing alongside the art side of things, as a lot of other creators are more heavily art focused - their creations are beautiful and inspiring but I love the way junk journalling can marry creative expression in both art and journalling. Also, I have to know, where is your beautiful lamp from?!
