In my experience, many people who buy beautiful writing instruments and journals get paralyzed by the idea that they have to write something "beautiful enough" to be worthy of the journal - it's in those cases that I recommend ditching the pretty stuff for something more functional. As always, go with what is working for you. :) Hi Windi,

Everyone has different opinions. Some people find the beautiful journals inspire them to write more, no matter how crap the writing is. Everyone has different opinions.

The beautiful thing is, all my journals look pretty similar.  So while I might not have the beautiful leather-bound edition for posterity, at least they all look like they belong together.

I regularly have instances of things that I might journal about and then months later they show up again. In my day job, I develop corporate training materials. I definitely find that an idea that didn't work for one project may resurface in a different way for a  different project. It's always good to have an "idea bucket" where we can keep track of those random thoughts. :) I love the term “accidental pumpkins.” I regularly have instances of things that I might journal about and then months later they show up again.

I will even write in one or two pages of my pretty new book and then rip them out because what I have written wasn't good enough. I couldn’t agree more with this post!
