Hello everyone and happy Sunday! So, because so many of you seemed to like my last challenge video (I tried Haruki Murakami's 4AM writing routine โ๏ธโ), I thought I would make another!
In today's video, I'm trying out Virginia Woolf's journaling routine. Over the course of a month (technically 32 days oops), I did my absolute darndest to write in my journal every single day. I wanted to do this to see what effect it would have on my writing, and also so see if I liked journaling generally.
I had a lot of fun making this video and I hope you enjoy it ๐

Writing a letter to someone can be one of the most intimate, thoughtful things you can do for another person.

I started journaling in 2020 when we were in lockdown, and I stuck to it. I had no one to talk to, even when lockdown was over, and having somewhere to share my thoughts and feelings really helped. But I do get a little sad when I reread old entries, because we change so much as people ๐ฅฒ and it hurts when we donโt achieve what we want to-or when things donโt go to plan ๐โฅ๏ธ

I've been keeping a journal for about 25 years - sometimes months between entries- but it's sooo nice to look back on at what I was like at different times in my life! I also keep one each for my children where I write entries for them that they can keep when they're grown up ๐

Your page that said "I didn't feel like doing this today" reminds me of that page in (I thought) Darwin's page that simply said something along the lines of "I'm very shit today. The world today is horrible and everybody is too".

When you said you feel like this requires a journal of its own, I thought, this video needs to be called "A Journal of One's Own" :)

No! Do not give me an excuse to buy more stationary! Do not! It is my one weakness! No!
So I bought three new journals: how many routines were we testing?

comparing journal writing routine to an Artist sketchbook has thought me the importance owning a journal. Thank you for sharing this.๐

As someone who finally got journaling to stick 2 years ago now, I find the best thing for me is to write when I need it and to fill my journal with whatever I need at that moment. To write letters that will never be sent, to feel feelings when my mind is going round in circles. To understand my own voice and the voice of the universe or my guides. To have feelings and ask for solutions and how they stream out of me when tapped into the creative space. The thing with journaling is itโs personal. Never go into it with the aim of getting the same result as someone else, especially not straight away. Journaling is a messy exploration of the self and a record of who you are. Something you read back when you are struggling to see who you are or find hope. I am on my third journal now. I do not write in it everyday but I think that better reflects the flow of life and time and creative thinking. Like waves that go in and out. There are times you ride the wave in and write pages on pages and other times you just float to survive and do nothing else. Journaling is a joy and so healing for the soul.

Iโve journaled daily forโฆforever, decades at this point! I love it so much. Once itโs a habit your golden and you start to rely on it to sort your thoughts out. Life saver, literally

I am a daily journaler and have done so for about 40 years. And the brain reacts much differently to the action of hand writing. I also love reading journals, letters, and diaries of famous writers. So many writers practice the art of journaling.

After many years of attending workshops, I read Julia Cameron's book THE RIGHT TO WRITE. She advocated 'Morning Pages' and keeping a notebook. The title alone gave me confidence. I co-ran a poet's guild, which developed into 'spoken word' events. I've scribbled in many notebooks since, 'harvesting' ideas, overheard conversations, reflections, observations, words and phrases I've noticed or thought of, made notes in art galleries about pictures which i later developed into poetry, short stories or a play. Writing is not so much scribbling, it's more a way of life.

I like the way you described a narrators mentality based on the words they use to describe something. Daisy yellow - corn yellow - crime scene tape yellow. That helps bring that awareness to my own writing.

I want to try journaling but I feel like I always forget or get too tired to do it. Props to you for being consistent throughout the month :D it's inspiring me to try it out!!

โThis is just an excuse to buy a nice journal really, itโs the whole reason Iโm doing this videoโ is too real ๐๐๐๐๐

Youโve exactly nailed her literally purpose in journalling - she wrote very differently about Ulysses for public consumption than she did there.

I started journaling during the lockdown of 2020. I'd journal every night before falling asleep. Initially I was writing my emotions, then I started tracking my sleep, food I ate, things I got done. Now I write a small recap of each day - it exhausts my mind and prevents me from overthinking, which results in better sleep. It has been over 2 years and I still journal every night. I then bought a planner this year. I use my planner to track my sleep, meals, habits, books I read, things I purchased, etc. I find all this really therapeutic. It gives me a perspective about small things that add to my progress. I also have a writer's journal and a milestone journal. A writer's journal is for my creative outbursts and my milestones journal is where I record any big highlights of my year. I am also gonna now start this word association exercise you showed and I will try writing descriptions of my surroundings too!

I bought a 256 numbered pages journal and a fountain pen after watching this video lol. I love the idea of knowing how many pages I wrote and your video really inspired me to make my journaling experience a bit more fancy. It definitely helps motivate! I've been journaling on my phone and old notebooks that didn't really make me happy and some company's pen we had laying around ๐

If you enjoyed doing this maybe look into these two books.
"The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron
"Old Friend from Far Away" by Natalie Goldberg
I've been journaling for close to 30 years. I love these books. The first is a good practice. The second is practice to write a memoir, but I enjoy using it as a topic book.
I would recommend (internet search) printable feelings charts or charts that list emotions. I would suggest printable random word lists instead of a random word generator.
There are apps that provide story starters. I love doing journal entries from a different point of view. I put that character from the story starter in my situation or myself in theirs and write my entry that way. I have so much fun with this.
I hope this wasn't too much all in one comment. Journaling is my favorite thing to do.

Lol I accidently did the challenge for 32 days instead of 30 but REGARDLESS I did a journaling challenge for a whole month and I hope you all enjoy it! ๐๐
P.S. Don't forget we're going on a group trip to Japan in May 2023! More info: bit.ly/3NoyR5G

"Yes, I have notebooks but I feel like this requires a journal" is the most writerly thing to say
