    I don't comment a lot but I just wanted to share that I've been following your UA-cam channel since 2016! Your journal flipthrough playlist has been so comforting for me to rewatch when I'm struggling and I'm so glad you're creating content again! Thank you for all that you do :)

    I have been fangirling on you since 2017. Your videos are exactly like a friend's casual conversation. I watch them with a cup of tea in my hand imagining it being a face to face convo with you. You make a lot of difference to my life and you have taught me that journals don't have to be pretty.
    I infact have a journal entry dedicated to you... You are too precious for lost souls like me. Please take care. 🌻☀️

    My journals are mostly just words too. Though I’ve recently been roughly drawing buildings and scenes from my dreams. I tried to make things beautiful once, but I journal very intuitively and spontaneously, so there’s never really time to decorate pages it seems. When the moment hits, I write.

    You are always so inspiring when it comes to journaling, and it’s nice hearing you say how you like pure writing in your journals. I always see videos where people stuff their journals full of extra bits, but I prefer just to get in the flow of writing. Nice to know I’m not alone 😊

    Great to see a “word’ journal! I just got myself a traveler’s notebook as a present for myself for starting grad school, and am hoping I can use it for notes for class, as well as get used to journaling and writing in notebooks better. I’ve been super digital for a long time and want to get better at writing in notebooks. Your channel is very helpful and inspiring.

    I'm using a Danika58 notebook as well at the moment, and loving it. I keep my diary in a very similar way! mine is just a wall of words :) I write now because I need to get thoughts out and because I enjoy the physical feeling of writing (pen in hand, pen on paper), and that seems to be enough.

    I just discovered your channel and am loving your videos! I, too, am an English teacher who also teacher Social Studies. I also find it funny how you skip writing on the first few pages of your journals. I do the same thing. Lol. I am now looking into getting an onion skinned journal…never heard of them before. And even though I have a few untouched journals to use, who says I can’t get that one and just put it in the stockpile to use later, much like I do with my books!

I LOVE that your journaling style is just writing, because this is how I journal and you inspire me so much to journal and write more!

    Hi Tina! I’m Ashleigh and I am new to your channel! 😀 I just recently got back into journaling, I’ve always loved journals and writing but never really stuck to filling up a journal all the way. 😂 However, I just recently filled my first one and on my second! So proud of myself for doing this! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and I am so happy I came across your channel! You’ve inspired me to really keep up with journaling and I just love your personality! Your channel is definitely my kind of vibe 👍🏻

      @ashleighmorgan 2 роки тому +2

      @@OverallAdventures thank you! It is the best feeling because after all these years I finally have a completed journal filled with memories. So I wanted to start journaling seriously for a couple of reasons. One, I had a traumatic childhood that has left its scars on my life, and I use journaling now as a way to work through the hurt and anger. That's why it took me literally one month to fill my first one, I had a lot to get out. Secondly, I also LOVE to keep memories, I always have been a person who takes a lot of photos to capture memories and then also write about them to make them even more vivid. Lastly, I want to start journaling down events that are going on in our world today, like you mentioned. I loved this idea of yours when you brought it up because these journals are a part of history. Anyway, that was a lot, but I am thankful I came across your channel and happy to be a part of a journaling community 😊

    I’m so envious of your writing style! I’m also a lefty but hold the pen tip below my hand. I’m 100% sure it’s bad writing posture and I wish someone had corrected me when I was younger. Anyway, I adore inky pens and fountain pens but I can’t for the life of me NOT smudge wet ink😭 I was considering the onion skin journal but glad I saw this. Thank you for sharing!

    • @OverallAdventures

  • @lynnrogers3628
    @lynnrogers3628 2 роки тому

    Just started my next journal. Size of the journal is important, and the quality of paper is very important. I use a dip pen, so I have to look for paper that is appropriate for that. The writing experience can be wonderful or dull depending on the paper alone.

    Hi Tina! I have a couple random journaling-related questions: Does indexing your journal depend on which notebook you are using? Have you been indexing as you write or when you finish the journal? And when you write with fountain pen, what do you do when you misspell a word or write the wrong word? Do you cross it out, or is that wasting ink? Or do you just keep chugging along? Anyway, haha, that was a lot of questions. I hope you enjoy your new journal!

    • @OverallAdventures
      @OverallAdventures  2 роки тому +2

      Hey Jessie! Awesome questions - I think I should make an updated video on indexing. In short, yes I still index but I find it (for reasons I still don’t understand lol) annoying to do while journaling, so I typically save it until I’m finished with the journal. BUT then it feels super overwhelming lol. I love the idea of the index, but still haven’t quite figured out the best way to make it work!

    • @OverallAdventures
      @OverallAdventures  2 роки тому +1

  • @karolen777

    Have you tried the journals from Galen Leather? They use 52gsm Japanese Tomoe River paper, great for fountain pens. Journals lay flat in my experience. Galen is located in Istanbul, Turkey, but the shipping is super fast and the packaging is beautiful. Highly recommend them and any of their paper or leather products. I'm new to your channel, I'm a lefty too :)

  • @ciannacoleman5125
    @ciannacoleman5125 2 роки тому

    My current journal is one of Danika58's Cosmo Air Light A5s. It is a pleasure to write on and it feels... Soft and buttery? I have noticed it makes my ink lay down a little thicker line than in other books but I don't mind it. I specifically love how it does of the p properties of any ink I put on it and it takes watercolor well.
    Unfortunately the one think that keeps me from loving the paper is that it is crazy sensitive to hand oil. The ink will bead up anywhere you have touched the page to much. This may not be a problem for everyone, maybe I just produce more skin oil, but personally i protect my page by resting my hand on another piece of paper which can be finicky. I still like the paper and will use it till it's full, but I probably won't stock up on it like I am Tomoe River 68gsm

      Hey Jess! Thanks for the question 💜 I am similar - learned cursive in 3rd grade and didn’t pick it up again until a few years ago. I guess I heard sooo many people raving about fountain pens for writers (plus I was sick of my hands hurting all the time lol) that I decided to try it out! I started with Lamy since they weren’t too expensive and I’ve never looked back 💜 kaweko is a good place to start too! I wish there were more stores where you could play with fountain pens in person and see which one was the right fit though!

    The ink colour variations is called shading, I usually use brown inks and they tend to do that.
    ... But why do you put tea in the paper? Is that a thing? I'm going to have to Google this! I would use a big drop of the ink I'd plan to use in the notebook 🤔 that sounds messy fun.
