My journal I bought at an Indie bookstore to start in September. I bundled up in fleece & fuzzy slippers to brave the chill while writing. #porchlife #coffeeandbooks #75SOFT #journalprompts #BERmonths #day1
@Read4life ... what lovely birthday gifts! They feed all of my book-nerdy passions! The journal book is lovely, and the pages are so creamy-dreamy! The book cozy is adorable and will be perfect for my trip to Canada next week. And did you know I posted about looking for some pens for my haiku yesterday? These pens are AWESOME! I'm so glad to have found you here, my friend. Thank you, Lynn. 🩵💙🩵
Late is better then never and at least I have my first book done. It‘s been checked twice. 🤪

so-so2.5/5⭐ There is some specific information for crafting a journal and drawing in it at the beginning, but the majority of the book is more for generic inspiration. Everything is basically “sit still and draw what you observe“ without much more detail. There are lots of examples with the author's notes about when she drew them. The book is more an exploration of the author's art journal than a how-to.
so-so3/5⭐ There are some good ideas for sparking creativity, getting motivated, and developing a writing habit. Many of the sections resorted to flowery self-help speak that I didn't like or find useful. This book is best for beginning writers or those who want to flip through once in a while when they find their inspiration flagging. #roll100
“I love my story's exuberance, but I'm fatigued by the thought of teaching it to grow up.“
Such a good description for the feeling behind taking a story from idea to finished book.
pick6 stars for this strange gem. Every creative turned stay-at-home parent should read this! ScaryMommy blog meets Kafka. Are the shiny, happy moms at story hour truly beasts? It‘s bloody original! TW: brutal death of pet. #motherhood #creative #magicalrealism #horror #readthisnow
pickI donated some books at the station book swap a while back and I came home with some too. Always the way. I was obsessed with SARK in my late teens and used to own this tagged book.
