Are you a beginner, or are you considering if you should start a journal? Ask all your questions here. Are you more experienced? Feel free to share tips, tricks, pictures of your journal, anecdotes. Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.
Why a WT?
The community keeps getting new members—we’re now 436 members, hi & welcome to all of you!—but we don’t have much active members.
My idea is therefore to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not an obligation. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread. You can also let me know if you don't like to see a Weekly Thread. I won't be mad ;)
This week theme: I (don’t) care about my privacy!
Digital journal often offers some way to encrypt our entries, analog journaling not so much. Anyone opening a journal will be able to read it which can lead to some sad situations. But even if that journal was stored in a safe, or in a locked drawer, seeing us journaling may draw attention and raise questions form friends, SO, children, and even from the cat or the dog!
Do you worry about that? How you deal with the privacy of your journal?
Seeing you do it would certainly be a great way to motivate them trying doing it like you. Also, +1 to let them show any sign of interest first, that's great.
