Hello!

I used to journal a bit here and there. I think the longest I managed to do it consistently was January '22 until mid '23.

I want to give it another try and see how it goes this time. As a little motivation boost I got myself a fountain pen. First time I got one since back in school; like 20 years ago when I switched to ballpoint. And used to have ones from LAMY back then and after 2 days of resarch I got the LAMY AL-star. I went to the store to test and it took me 30 minutes to decide on the colour. So I totally understand why people own many pens very fast :D

    Oh yes, totally! I also go through different phases. I am not good at doodles for example. But I have some washi-tape. And some easy stuff I can also doodle. Sometimes I just want to write and I am happy with just doing that. Sometimes I want to decorate. So yes, being fun totally helps!

    I just learned about junk journals. While I know it’s not something I would keep up, I can totally see myself doing a spread once in a while if it fits (a trip for example where I keep some tickets or receipts) in addition to writing.
