Journaling

Oberon Design is a beautiful site to purchase leather and pewter made items in the USA. But they have also written a short series about journaling on their website at http://oberondesign.com/journaling/

There are topics and examples of:

• Memoir or autobiographical writing
• Historical Notations
• Spiritual Practice or Quest Writing
• The Travelogue Journal
• Philosophy and Ecology of Place
• The Inner Narrative: Mapping the Unconscious
• The Immigrant Experience
• The Garden Journal
• The Weather Geek
• Healthy Living
• The Critic: Film and Book Reviews
• Literary Notations
• Pillow Book
• Artist’s Journal
• The Connoisseur

I like the way they have presented the many different ways to write a journal. Far too often we tend to think only one type of journal. I tend to fall into the unsatisfying list method rather than writing down thoughts and observations. 

So do you keep a journal? Do you use a special notebook or pen?
