i'm creating a mailing list which will focus on everyone in the mailing list sharing each other's journal prompts, journal pages, and creativity. i will set the group a weekly journal theme which everyone can participate in, for example a theme one week may be colours, or a season. we will email each other with inspiration, photos of our journals, advice and questions, as well as any other conversations that might happen :)

i have been journalling since i was 13, and i am now nearly 21. i used to have a mailing list like this when i was 15, it was a very small close knit group, and eventually we were creating journals and mailing them to each other! (this isn't a requirement for the mailing list i hope to create) so who knows what will happen. i am just looking for fellow journal creative souls who would be interested in a small group of people, who all journal, to talk, share and inspire each other.

you don't have to be journalling every day to join... just reply or email me at naomi.jadex5 at gmail.com if you're interested <3

I am an open book and I wear my heart on my sleeve. Currently, my only Internet access is at work. Writing there is near impossible as I like to include in my entries URL links, references and lots of "img src" pictures. I miss having DSL at home, but it was getting so that I couldn't tear myself away from the computer. Now I only have internet thru my data plan. This makes typing entries an arduous task. If I don't want to deal with touch pads, then my only option is transferring a typewritten page from computer to phone. I don't share my data plan with my computer because that service is slightly extra to the hundred some I pay monthly for the phone plan I already have.

I've tried to discipline myself by typing a thorough entry on my computer and proofing it for typos, errors, etc. then transferring the text file to my phone and copying and pasting it to my lj. When I have to include pictures our URLs in the post, the copying and pasting processing of case sensitive material becomes depressing because I cannot facilitate hotlink accuracy as easily as I once could, by trying it in preview mode first. So that's my dilemma.

I look for communities like this to encourage me to continue in my writing process. Hopefully I will get positive feedback from compassionate readers. And if there are any other writers out there with similar situations, tips and advice would be gratefully received.

I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been reading your posts!  I am writing a book right now and am in chapter 9 of 12. I'll be back soon.

I made a poll for people to pick my next journal and the one that won out was Vincent Van Gogh's 'Notte stellata' - hooray! When I took off the wrapping and opened it, I discovered blank pages! This freaked me out because it's been a few years since I'd written in an actual blank journal - one without lines. Now that I think of it, it's fitting for it to have no lines, eh? By delightful coincidence, it was Van Gogh's birthday yesterday. I posted about it on my LJ and wrote one of the quotes into the appropriately timed paper journal.
