March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #160: Finding the Right Journal

Tip of the Week

It's important to shop for the right journal. Sometimes it takes some time to find the right one for you. You may need to look around a bit, either online or offline at your local shops. I would advise you to be patient, and keep looking, because almost any type of notebook can be turned into a journal, if you don't mind using a journal with a softcover and pages that can be torn out.  If, however, you are looking for blank books, then I would look at bookstores, drug stores (especially in the stationery section), some stationery stores, or any store that specializes in selling books and paper goods. I know that I like smaller blank books that have nice designs on them. I don't want something that is too serious or too silly, and I don't like blank books that have quotes or other writing in them already. I usually just like blank books that have lines, they are ruled, and have a nice-looking cover, something that I enjoy looking at. That usually works for me. In the past, I have purchased blank books that already included quoatations in them, and liked them, I generally prefer that they not have them, as I want to use the room on the pages for my own writing, rather than reading what someone else has already written.
