caught in a landslide no escape from reality
back in the day when i used to text journal only, i had no problem with rambling on and on about my day and other mindless thoughts. since i began art journaling at the beginning of the year, the amount of writing i do has dwindled down to almost none at all, especially since i've gotten better at the "art" part of journaling. nothing seems good enough anymore, and i hate being this self-critical.
willowing and suzi blu offer workshops about art journaling and include information about the actual writing parts (poetry, stories, etc.) but those cost money and as much as i would like to be able to afford their classes/workshops, it's just not something that is possible right now.
so i decided to post this entry here at jr__nal as a sort of open discussion about incorporating writing with your art. do you write poetry, stories, or do you day log? where do you start? what comes first- the art or the words? do you write in your art journal or do you keep it strictly art only? do you do art in your journal at all, or do you mainly write? what and when do you write? do you respond to prompts or do you write about entertainment and media (movie/book reviews)?
i'm desperate to get the writing back into my journal but i'm going through such a slump that i don't know where to begin. if anyone can offer some help, suggestions, a confidence booster, inspiration or share their creative ideas with me would be absolutely amazing.
thank you, i love you all. you are all such beautiful artists and writers, and beautiful human beings in general. all of you make this my favorite internet community.
