Do you keep a journal?

Question

if so, how often, what format? do you look for ways to liven it up? would you be interested in taking an online journaling workshop?

Answer 1

Yes! I jounal each day. I like to keep a journal to serve as a reminder to me of God's graciousness in my life. And to leave a legacy for my children.
Yes, I love to do things that liven it up! I keep a computer journal and a handwritten journal.
Yes, I love online journaling workshops, especially if you are teaching it, M!

Answer 2

I do keep a journal - some of the time-
I like the process of actually writing in a hardbound journal. I have no problem livening it up for the most part. I guess it depends on where I am and what I am writing about at the time. If I come across a quote that strikes me I will add it in in a different color ink or maybe on a page all by itself..in the past I have added small pictures that I like or that remind me of something - I usually tape those down. I have also done treasure maps ( an idea from Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization) when I was working on a goal or setting an intention. I like to have fun with my journal and make it an interesting place. I don't know if I would be interested in an on line journaling workshop - not sure what that would be like or if it would suit me.

Answer 3

Yes, I do journal. I have a journal that I got from my husband at Christmas from teh Christian bookstore. I have to admit I don't keep up with it as often as I would like to due to time but I love it when I do. I think an online journal workshop would be neat. I am assuming this is a workshop that you would use to implement into your own journal now (not one online)? Am I correct in this?

Answer 4

I use a three-ringed binder for my journal. This way I can enter either handwritten notebook pages or printouts from the computer. I enter things such as news articles, artwork, poetry, diary entries, etc. No real interest in taking a workshop on journaling, I would think each person has their own way of doing it and that's all that matters.

Answer 5

i did once for about 2 or 3 years. i used to think that journals (or diaries) are too girly for me but my creative writing prof made us keep one, and surprisingly i enjoyed it. the only difference is it's not 100% private because she (my professor) reads it ever few days or so but i didn't mind because i trusted her. i was going through a rough time and it helped me a lot. after that, i started losing interest in writing.

now though, i'm trying to write again but this time in blog format. there are just a lot of things i need to let off my chest and i wanted it to be read by people close to me. i'm really interested in that online journaling workshop you were talking about. could you give me more details? thanks.

Answer 6

I keep an LJ. I have a paid account and mess with the layout when I get bored. I make tons of icons for it. TONS.
I also keep a paper journal. It's just a pretty journal I bought from Barnes & Noble.

Answer 7

I keep a common place book. It is similar to a journal except that it focuses on important quotes/excerpts from the books that I am reading.

I like it because it focuses on the thoughts of the writers I'm reading and not my own. Great way to educate yourself!

Answer 8

not at this time...but i should. some of us have such intresting lives that we should do so. our soon-to-be history should be documented, our thoughts important.....yes, i am interested in an online journaling workshop.

Answer 9

Yes. Quicktopic. "Sky's Daily Lifestyle and Politics."

It's a daily (or when I can add an entry) online diary. I used to keep a written one a long time ago, but I discontinued it.

Answer 10

There are numerous people who would make fun of the possibility of altering their fates. This is because it thinks that no one gets more that what is put in his fate.
