Lettering- Create Your Own Font
Alot of people don't seem to like their own penmanship. So to get over your handwriting, create your own font. Try using a short quotation, a poetry fragment or words that inspire you to play with lettering. I like to use a black ink pen. Try adding spirals, dots, doubled lines, filling in, flourishes, elongating forms etc. Think Crazy Calligraphy! Doodling with words! Word Art! Beware, this can become addictive... even meditative...

A Classic Writing Tool- Stream of Conscious Writing
Classic writing tools form the basis of keeping a journal. These exercises can be used over and over again.
Flow or Stream of Consciousness Writing
Just write. Put your pen on the page and keep it moving. Let the words flow from you. Don't edit, just write whatever comes, however it comes.
[This is a classic writing tool used for years by writers and poets. I learned it originally in writing classes at school. Some Modern day names include: Morning pages, writing practice, brain drain]
Variation: I like to also use this tool to write stream of conscious poetry.

Class Notes: Rules of Journaling
Where there is joy, there is creation. Where there is no joy, there is no creation. Know the nature of joy."-Upanishads
There is no wrong way to keep a journal. There is no right way to keep a journal. There are no rules to keeping a journal. Make your own rules. Change your rules whenever you feel like it. Your journal is a unique reflection of who you are and your view of the world. It will not look like anyone else's. What you need in a journal may change over time.Follow your instincts. Allow yourself to be surprised by what you create.
