Where did you people learn to write without consideration for the lines on the page???!!!! It would NEVER have occurred to me to be that free with my words or lists! I am *such* a rule-follower, and creativity was not necessarily encouraged during the years I was in school {sigh}. I may have to make it a point to practice all the ways I can write in my journal without staying on the lines!
That is PRECISELY why I prefer to get blank journals. In lined journals, it bothers me to not follow lines. On a blank page it becomes easier to do whatever I want.
I used to get lined journals all the time, but now I try whenever possible to use blank pages. Much more freeing.
Either you got inspired by my chain of Inspiration or we have a similar way of thinking about inspiration! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is the format I used for brainstorming my NaNo novel - so I carried on using it for various things
