Variations on a Theme: Journal

About two months ago, I discovered bullet journaling. I feel in love quickly. I feel in love hard. I've been using my bullet journal for about a month, and I think it's a fantastic addition to my life. I love how it keeps me organized, creative, and having fun. This month's Variations on a Theme is all about journals. Happy writing!

Wreck This Journal
Keri Smith

For anyone who's ever had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes this expanded edition of Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake and mess-making abilities and to fill the pages of the book (or destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts--poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting pages with coffee, coloring outside the lines, and more--in order to experience the true creative process. With Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

And it’s only a blank page away.
