syntaxofthingsHi there! I'm Stephanie. I saw the advertisement for this community in ![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_community_promo and thought with all the journaling I've been doing lately, I should join up. :) I never joined the Embodiment community on LJ because I don't want to commit myself to writing every day; to me, writing in a journal should be relaxing, and something that I want to do. About a week ago I wrote really honestly to myself in my journal about things that I haven't been honest with myself about, and since then I've felt such relief to write in my journal that I've been writing a lot!
I collect paper notebooks with the idea to use them as journals and have all my life. My current one I bought in 2009. It's a blank journal with a cover in French, but the title is "GOETHE", who is important to me. I've been writing in this journal since the end of last July and very much enjoying it still. I'm mostly a writer in my journal rather than an artist. For me my journal is about getting out my thoughts rather than doodles, and since I love language my thoughts tend to come out in it. I wish I did more, but there's only so many hours in the day! ;)
For those of you who do a combination of writing and art, what motivates you to do art? Does your art in your journal reflect the things you're going through at the time? How do you decide what to draw/create?
