colector: Re: [JournalWriting] Newbie intro - stole this from someone...

Hi Tracie, and all the other new people. I myself prefer to type and keep my journals in MS word documents. However in recent years I've been working on hand-written collage journals too and I have several that I work on from time to time.

Welcome to the group.

And isn't Walks so sweet to acknowledge everyone?

Subject: [JournalWriting] Newbie intro - stole this from someone...

I don't know ifthis is the official form but here we go…..
1.Name - Tracie

2.Where are you from? (general area is fine) – California– near Sacramento

3.How long have you been journaling? Off and on a few years – more offthan on. LOL

4.Why did you start journaling? To vent about an exboyfriend. I tossedthat journal later. No wait, I tore out those pages and kept the journal…whichwas blank otherwise. I sort of wish I still had it. I was tryingnot to hang on to the past but thinking back, I wish I had saved them.

5.What is your favorite journaling method? I have not decided – I wouldlike to bring back the art of handwriting, but my typing is easier toread. LOL I am working at handwritten right now.

6.What is your favorite journaling related book? I started The Artist'sWay recently. I am not familiar with others.

7.What would you like to learn about journaling? I have no idea – what isthere to learn about it? J

8.What are some of your other interest? (type of reading, hobbies,
work, family, etc.) I love to read – I tend to lean towardsmedical/murder mysteries and courtroom dramas but I am expanding into othergenres. I like music, crafts (crochet, beading, lace making, sewing,quilting), cooking, novice photography and gardening. I spend too muchtime on the computer (hence the desire to write on paper) and watch too much tv(working on swapping TV with music).

9.What type of journal do you use? (hardbound, spiral notebook,
handwritten, computer, etc..) Hardbound, handwritten – am looking atgetting more creative once I make this a regular thing.

10.Are you a regular or intermitent writer? Far from regular but hoping to getthere. Currently, intermittent. J
