My Journey of Writing in a 5-Year Journal

Fun fact about me: I’m not too fond of journaling. I wouldn’t think this is weird if it weren’t for the fact that I like writing. What writer doesn’t like journaling? I feel like I’m breaking some cardinal writng rule or living some fake writer’s life.

It’s not for lack of trying, either. I have attempted to journal in the past. I’ve invested money in pretty notebooks, cute journals, and plain diaries. I’ve attempted to do Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages and various other guided journals. But I’ve never stuck with any of them for a long period of time.
