Hello! First time in the doing anything like this, so please bear with me! There isn’t a place for people to post or talk about their journaling, which can be very helpful to others. So I decided to make one … even though I’ve never done anything remotely close to this. ———————————————————————— Welcome
This is a community for all journal related things prompts, questions, showing off, really anything relating to journaling. Always on the move, show off your everyday carry journal set up. Don’t write down paragraphs upon paragraphs of words, no worries! No matter how you journal or how you decide to keep your journal this community is for anyone who wants to share or just excited to see others set ups. ———————————————————————— Rules
— No hateful conduct
Due to the nature of journaling posts can be very personal. Anyone who is found to be overly negative or discriminatory towards another member within this community will receive repercussions relative to the situation. Have basic etiquette, this community is based on positivity and that will remain my goal throughout.
— No spam
Spam will be considered as posting the same content more than three times. ———————————————————————— Note
As this is my first time creating a community please let me know if there are any rules I should implement. I am completely open to feedback and criticism as long as it’s for the best interest of the community.

Right now I’m using a TN size dot grid journal (it’s Archer and Olive brand but it was a gift, I normally wouldn’t buy that brand for myself and I’m not sure I’m fond of the size either). I’m struggling to get through the whole book, mainly because I always want to start a fresh book once I get halfway through a current journal. The good thing about this book is that the paper is 160gsm and holds up well to any medium I’ve thrown at it so far, and since my journaling style changes on a whim from longform writing, to doodling, to marker, watercolor, and collage, or any combo of multimedia this is a good thing.
As for my pen, I’m using a Uniball multi pen that I can change out the colors as the mood strikes. I’m considering getting into fountain pens (I’ve always wanted to try them, just haven’t yet) now that arthritis is kicking my ass. My main issue with pens is that I don’t like gel, and I need a fine or ultra fine tip. Thankfully my Uniball does come in .38 which works nicely.
I ordered two Platinum Preppy fountain pens with some ink cartridges, one with a fine nib and one with an ultra fine nib. I guess we’ll see how those work out. I know it’s usually frowned on in the fountain pen world, but I’m also curious about the retractable fountain pens- come for me if you must!
