I decided it was time to follow my dreams of living with a total writers aesthetic. I know that bullet journals have recently popular. But, writing is not a new thing. Never start on the first page. I like to save that in case I want a title. If I flip it upside down and open it from the back, I'll find my table of contents (that never runs out of space.) I have calendars: monthly and day by day. Lists: to do and lists of things to buy next time I go to Target. I also finally figured out a rating system for my books. If I want to read them or check them out in the library, and then write over the title (and author) in pen. Each pen color belongs to a number, 1-5, on my system. Red is 5 and the best. In addition, I have symbols I can put next to a title if so inspired. If it made me want to think, write, or fall in love. I think a journal, by any name, gives a great opportunity for positive self talk. Note goals and then accomplishments. I flat out have a list of random nice things. Like I went to a salon to get my nails painted. My favorite author newest book was in the library. I reorganized my room. They can be big. Or not. I have some journal entries, when I feel like it. As organized and planned as your book may be, don't forget what it is about. Writing. Ideas, schedules, or anything. You shouldn't force it. What ever happens, happens. Just have fun.
