My name is Carrie and I am a journaloholic. Yes, these are ALL my journals, and frankly, there are more somewhere lost in my apartment. I do not remember when it all began. Maybe it was when I kept note pads all over the place and would wake up in the middle of the night scrambling to find something to write down an idea with. I am not really sure it just crept up on me and the next thing I knew I was loaded with them. Now that I am aware of my problem, I try to resist the temptation to purchase again one more for my collection. It is hard but I think I can do it, with the help of my fellow bloggers, and the fact that my check book stands strong with a firm no!
I also have a bit of a pen, pencil, and writing paraphernalia fetish, but that is an entirely different story....or should I say "horse of another color". :-)
Do you have writing tools that you must have?
One of my favourite places to visit is a nice stationery store. Books, notebooks, journals, pens, sticky-notes, cards... mmmmm.... delicious fun. Not to mention all those writing utensils.
ReplyDeleteStationery stores are wonderful....:-)
DeleteLove the photo in your header... it truly conveys the theme of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE journals too and often make my own.
ReplyDeleteThats cool....I could never make my own...I am all thumbs! :-)
DeleteHoly moly, girl
ReplyDeleteYou're yer own library!
If i did that, i'd be in prison (jk)
Silence.
I love music, but i need silence to write.
I guess I do almost have my own library...your right. :-) and yes silence is helpful for me to....but believe me the library is not quiet these days. :-)
DeleteLove your post. And yes, I like to write with a razorpoint pen on a yellow legal pad. It's funny how these things matter to us.
ReplyDeleteThank you Magnolia....you are right those things do matter to us. :-)
DeleteJust today I was in a store and looking at journals, but then I realized that (perhaps unfortunately) now most of my writing is done on the computer and I really don' need those wonderful and beautiful journals anymore. Sad, but true. I used to love them!
ReplyDeleteYou are right....none of us in bloggerland really need one....i just had so many before I ever started a blog. :-)
Deleteha. i like journals as well..and put them to good use...all my writing starts in one....my wife steals all my pens though...
ReplyDeletePens are like lighters....people always seem to walk away with them...:-)
