Fill every journal/sketch book I own

I’ve been getting back in the habit of writing pretty regularly. It’s nice to get things out of my head and on paper… easy to sort out what’s going on. This goal is on it’s way to becoming completed.

I doubt it’s healthy to have these thoughts/emotions bottled up inside of me… time to MAKE time to write, every day, in my journal. And it’s not going to be anything about calories, weight, or obsessions about food or agonies about my body. Just happy thoughts, hell, I’ll even allow depressed thoughts. But no ed thoughts. SO THERE ED.

I am to write down every negative thought that flits through my mind about my body, and what I am going to eat/ am eating/ have eaten, for the week. I will easily be able to fill up a notebook, and this saddens me, a little. I have faith though that it will help in the long run, somehow.

The problem is, I rarely have anything worthwhile to write about. I guess I should stop being such a slave to the Internet & leave of the house. That might help.

I’ve been drawing a lot. I think I’ve been getting a lot better. I’ve been taking my time drawing but I think if I keep drawing in the one sketch book I am using, it will soon be full. I really need to keep writing, though. I’ve been doing everything but writing. I’ve been playing the guitar, I’ve been singing, I’ve been cleaning, I just haven’t been writing that much. I need to start writing more.

This is a great idea… i too have a gadzillion sketch books lying around in my room, all started on but then inexplicably left. I can work a book for years… on and off. I’d really like to be more on than off, i guess. Doesn’t help that i’m a bookmaker, so filling every sketch pad i have wouldn’t really be practical. Make more artists books perhaps?

I’ve been working on filling my sketch book(s) with drawings of animals. It seems to really be working…It takes like three days to finish one drawing, though. Well, as long as I am working on the drawings everyday, I guess I am okay.

i collect notebooks almost obsessively, but then most of them just sit in a drawer in my room. i know they’re meant to be written in and drawn on and used, but another part of me says i’m just not good enough to wreck them. so far, i’ve filled three journals writing daily, but when i finish these daily journals, i buy new ones, so it’s not doing anything for my stash. i’ve started using up my notebooks by taking one around with me for just doodling in or writing random thoughts/things in, but there are still so many more to go! i’ve also started an art journal type of thing, and i’m going to keep on plugging away at that stash. i’m not going to promise i won’t buy any ‘til i’m done with the ones i have, though, because that’s not a very realistic goal for me.

I don’t know why I want to fill every journal I own. Maybe I want to get more done. Maybe I want to show the world that I’m someone special. I want to be a Somebody…And I think writing in my journal is a small step towards becoming just that: a Somebody..I guess I will log off and start writing! I have at least 5 journals right now that aren’t filled in all the way. I think this is a great opportunity to start writing since I really want to become an author. I have at least 3 sketch books that need to be filled in…..I am really good at drawing….

I either need to stop buying so many journals or I need to write up a storm.
