Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Ask all your questions here. Are you more experienced? Feel free to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.

Why a WT?

We’ve a steadily growing community—we’re now 465 members! Welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have that much active members.

My idea is to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not an obligation. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread ;)

This week theme: Is your journal analog or digital? Both? Or something else entirely?

Are you more of an analog or a digital user? Do you use both without any hesitation? Do you use a dedicated app like, say, DayOne, or a word processor, or a text editor, something like MS Word, LibreOffice or TextEdit?

Do you have an app you love to use? That helps you journaling?

Disclaimer: don’t you dare question my amazing illustrator skills. This is a perfectly fine illustration for the weekly thread, one many pro news outlets would envy us :p

    Both!

    I go through phases of preferring one over the other so I tend to print the digital entries (usually scrapped into arty spreads) and add them to a Filofax binder so everything is all in one cohesive volume.

    In theory it means I can use whatever paper I have to hand but it turns out I’m a paper snob so I still have blank unwanted notebooks lying around that didn’t pass muster.

      I wonder how many do that? That’s what I did when I switched from Day One back to Analog btw.

      I wouldn’t go as far myself, but I do have favorite papers (and fountain pens and pens in general) ;)
