January Notes - 2025

As a child I fantasized that my bedroom had a bunk bed and the room was completely filled with paper up to the height of the bed. I sat on top of the bed and filled the paper with either writing or drawings.

I’ve kept journals and sketchbooks most of my life. My sketchbooks are strangely orderly. I tend to follow a theme and work on variations of it throughout the book. Conversely, I feel challenged by what I should keep in a journal. I have journals that recount my day, others about work, separate ones for travel, and still others filled with automatic writing. Talk about “organizing your thoughts!”
