Today I sat down at the table to record some inconsequential, day-dreamy things in my everyday journal. For some reason I started writing from top to bottom, not left to right. Instead of paragraphs, I just switched to a different color when a different thought hit me. You would have thought I had discovered cream cheese frosting I was so excited about it.
Some days it's just about the writing. If you like the simple act of writing, just the motion of the pen gliding on the paper, it's hard to beat the feel of any kind of writing instrument on the paper in these hammerpress notebooks. I think they are out of print now. Drat!
Some days though I don't want to write much. I just want to glue and tape. Maybe add a few doodles if the spirit moves me.
Someone else obviously thought the top to bottom writing was pretty interesting too.
Hey! Did I say you could read that?
Probably not...but he went ahead and read it anyway. Have a great weekend.

I think your secrets are safe with this one!

I love, love, love to write; have been using a "Franklin" for years--but also like my carry-along- landscape- moleskine notebooks. I draw wavy lines with different colored pens and then stretch out my letters to fit inside them. Soooo relaxing to take the time to print lettering....after busy days....

I love seeing your journals - and your cats!
