I kept a journal freshman and sophomore year of college, but it got too angsty and negative so I stopped. Right now, I carry what one of my professors calls a "writer's notebook," which I'm supposed to carry with me at all times for story ideas.
I'm planning to get two journals. One just to vent, and one to make lists. Such as cataloging specific items that I have (posters and such) lists of what I want to watch, want to read, goals, etc.
In my journals I do water color sketches of things I find intresting, I paste photos of my daily life, junk paper I find through the day, its personal I write my life in it! I love mixed media paintings to so I paint often . Right now I keep a handmade book and it is my everything journal :)
I do have a notebook for video ideas... I guess I never thought of it at a journal, but that's one way to put it. I love that you have all these different journals to help you remember, think on paper, etc. :)
(CONTINUED) information about a mission I may have alluded towards in your last video. I am not at liberty to go into detail. I also cannot disclose the title of this (of course) black and white compostion notebook. I don't know why I mentioned it. Disregard #4 completely.
I'm finishing up Keri Smith's "This is Not a Book" this year. I've made it my own. That counts. By the way, I can't help asking where you write your humor, memoir, and picture book stories?
@violetichigo1999 Why do you have to torture me by always mentioning this secret project but not telling me what it is? I don't write humor/memoir/picture books as often as I'd like, but they usually start in the big journal, then I revise on the computer.
@alyiswriting To keep you off the trail, I will dispose of a different secret right now. Regarding incomprehensible aliens, I dropped a line about a mister Italo Calvino. Mister Calvino is a member of a certain party of authors writing at all hours of the night to produce a literary underground mystery. This mystery can only be solved by a true reader, bookworm, and/or someone seeking to find answers. This mystery is created by Italo Calvino and others known as: The Oulipo Group.
(CONTINUED) pocket-sized spiral notebooks that should belong to an adept reporter serve even better for scientific, seemingly useless, and yet relevant information about our universe.
3. The Hand-made book - I made a miniature journal from your bookbinding video. Its cover is scrapbook paper depicting a brick wall and a label on the front that says: "On the subject of Anxieties and Irrational Forefronts." Illustrations are included.
4. The Most Recent - It holds classified (TO BE CONTINUED)
(CONTINUED) my notebooks actually are journals belonging to various fictatious people writing about themselves in the third person. It's cheating, I know, but my experiences and ideas are still present. Here is where they are present in:
1. Black and white composition notebooks - I've loved writing in these wide-ruled notebooks since second grade. They never fall apart for me and they make me feel of the same magnitude of greatness as Amelia and Harriet.
Despite my predilection for my own long-winded nature, several aborted attempts at diaries or journals can be traced to my childhood years. Usually they were either Lisa Frank key-and-lock diaries or journals from Old Navy. I remember the only passage in one of the Lisa Frank diaries I actually enjoyed writing was when I wrote a pretend account of my adventure in the world of Digimon.
It was then I realized I should probably write fiction instead. So, you could say that (TO BE CONTINUED)
I like to have like a huge five section notebook where I just write everything like ideas and my reflection on my day. I also recently got a little mini notebook to write down quotes I like. I have a Wreck This Journal too but I kind of forget about it so it's not very wrecked. I think I might get a new journal just to write poetry in instead of mixing it in with my big journals of everything.
I have an idea journal where I just write short ideas or things I'm thinking about. I have another journal where I flesh out stories, doodle puppet designs and advance things from the idea journal. And I just got Wreck This Journal today!
I kept a few journals when I was younger, not anymore though, haven't had a written journal in like 5-7 years, although I can't be exactly sure.
I carried a notebook that I would write random video ideas in/take notes for class/draw crap/whatever but I wouldn't have called it a journal, even though I had originally bought it for the purpose of journaling. It just never worked out that way.
@themefund I have similar type notebooks I consider journals - that big journal I showed is just like the one you're describing. I think journals can take lots of forms besides just places solely for writing down all your thoughts.
what a fascinating way to organize the documentation of your life!! I keep a journal of general life stuff that i write in, on average, about once per month. I'm most curious about your "meaning of life findings" journal. has any of the stuff in there ever made it into your videos or something? Or is it all top secret wisdom?
I got a day planner for 2012 because I "work hard" where I volunteer. I decided to use it as a journal, writing the main things that happen in the day (personally, and to the world). I hope I keep to it. I also "plan" ("dream" is the correct term) to make a video a week, saying what happened during the week. I dunno about that, though. I gotta find a good place to do it, and everything, and the equipment I have doesn't help. We'll see :)
I am horrible with journals. I hate to write longhand and I just don't think in writing a great deal. I do post a video every day though. So YT has become my living journal.
I don't think I could ever have so many journals going at once. I like to finish a journal before moving on. At the moment, I have one "everything" journal and one small notebook for writing down unfamiliar words I encounter.
@iwearclothes8 That's a good journal idea - I'm always writing down on scraps of paper/trying to memorize in my head unfamiliar words to look up later - it's not working out so well for me!
I have tons of unorganized journals in which I write in any way I feel like. Something I'm doing this year is..I got a Mark Twain flip calender for christmas and I am not impressed by his quotes. So everyday I'm putting a quote of my own on the calender of that day. When it's all done I hope to make a Mark Huggins vs Mark Twain calender. Also this might help you lucid dream.. set an alarm for a time when you can continue sleeping wake up and go back to sleep and try your best.
@skidwilldanceforyou Your Mark vs. Mark calender sounds so awesome! Are you using random quotes you yourself said, or other, better ones from famous people? Or like, adapting his quotes into your own quotes to make them better? It sounds like a fun project. Thanks for the lucid dream tip!
@alyiswriting It's been my own quotes so far but they are not things I have said. So far it has been thoughts. January 3rd was "you can change someones mind but you can't change their heart. Not even they control that."
Aly, these are brilliant. I think I might adopt the "wreck this journal" and the question-per-day journal. Were the questions in the Q&A journal that you used interesting?
@justinhabit Questions for the coming few days: "The best part of today?" "What was the last restaurant you went to?" "Today was tough because ____?" "You are lucky, how so or not so?" "What song is stuck in your head?" "Was today typical? Why or why not?" I don't most of the questions are that interesting themselves, but become interesting when you answer them for 5 years and see how your answers change and get to look back on those past answers.
I'm obsessed with journals! Although I'm not particularly good with keeping up with daily journals, I do have multiple journals for specific things. I have an art idea journal, a short-story note book, a quote journal, a little-bit-of-every-thing-journal, and an everyday journal. Ive never actually finished a journal because I love buying and using pretty new journals.XD I'm constantly finding new interesting looking journals, so I try and find a use for them. 2012 is year of the journal! XD
@BizarreGoblin I'm so bad about buying journals and never finishing them too! There are just so many beautiful and interesting-looking ones, and they are so full of possibility when you first buy them. I've only been doing my daily journal for 4 days and I'm already waning in interest...I'm more inspired by my journals when each journal has a very specific purpose.
you certainly have a lot of journals. I have started making more, just through necessity for work. I haven't really started doing personal ones, although you could call my youtube a kind of journal.
I have some journals from elementary school that make me laugh when I Iook back at them. I also have a bunch of journals that are maybe half filled... This past semester in college, I kept a "Why is today awesome?" journal. I would just write a sentence or two everyday and draw colorful pictures too!
@cantaloupestarfruit Elementary school notebooks are the best - my favorite is my "Harriet the Spy" notebook, full of license plate numbers and "observations" about my classmates. I also kept a "why today is awesome" journal, although only for a couple months, and no pictures - maybe if I'd used crayons I would have been inspired to keep at it longer!
I have a journal but rarely write in it because my life is uneventful and I feel I write mediocre. Do you have any advice on how I could articulate my thoughts?
You like Keri Smith too?! That is so perfect, she seems very your style. I spent the better part of my winter break in my bedroom creating inside of my Keri Smith notebooks (Wreck This Journal, Mess, and This is not a Book. I highly recommend all of them!) and painting while listening to audiobooks. It was a whimsical time!
I've been keeping a daily journal since November 14, 2011, and it is so satisfying, I really love it. I love journals..Wonderful video, as always! :)
Also, I have many journals. One for my dreams, one i wrote in after a very close relative died and stopped after. I guess you could call it my "grieving" journal? And a couple from middle school. I started a why today is awesome one this year and really hope to journal more for 2012.
@rawrrxbrooke The amount I journal in terms of how much I actually write tends to go up when I'm dealing with something, either upsetting or frustrating or difficult - journaling really does help! Good luck with your future journaling endeavors!
For lucid dreaming, try to set a series of alarms on your ipod, but keep the volume down (30-40 minutes apart). The alarm would serve as a mechanism that triggers lucid dreaming.
Your journal ideas are all awesome! I use pretty journals for schoolwork because it makes me want to be more careful about what I'm writing and pay attention more. I don't keep any journals because I don't think I have the energy to do it.
@awildeeveeappeared Thanks! I was the opposite way about school, I'd use the cheapest spiral notebooks so I wouldn't feel bad about hardcore doodling all over the covers and every page...
I really love journals, but I think that I like the IDEA of journals, or the idea of what I might put in a journal, more than journals themselves or what content actually occurs within my journals.
I really want to get Wreck This Journal. I think that might be one journal I actually keep.
@emmaleemaysir There is likely more excitement in the possibility than in the actual journals, but you never know, you might be surprised. You should get a Wreck This Journal! So much fun!
@Hellybot You're a great letter writer! I got your letter the other day and it made my day! Perhaps you could say you keep journals in the form of letters to friends, or maybe sketchbooks?
Lucid dreaming would be fantastic. I feel like it would be like a really vivid daydream.
I have plenty of journals. There is the "Why today is awesome" journal, the idea for which I stole from owlssayhooot, which I like because it encourages positivity. But my favourite journal is the My Dysfunctions journal my friend gave my for Christmas, because it encourages one to spew all of the "emo-y" feelings they may be having, which gets them out of your mind.
@DreamerRealist I had a "why today is awesome" journal inspired by the 5AG, too! It lasted about 3 months, but then I had a series of bad days in March and got angry at it because I didn't want to write why those days were awesome. So I stopped writing in that one, although I think for the most part it is a good idea and definitely promotes positive thinking. Your other dysfunctions journal sounds fun!
@alyiswriting Yeah, there have definitly been days where I've had to force myself to find something to put in the "why today is awesome" journal. Those days usually have something to do with food or socks. Both are generally pretty awesome, regardless of how the rest of my day went.
It's very fun :) There are quotes about insanity and dysfunction on each page, which are always entertaining.
Your journals are awesome! :) (Also, how do you learn to lucid dream?)
I have: a journal for story ideas, a daily journal, and some art journals :)
