My fake journaler isn't at all ready to put down the pen (and magic wand) and she plans to hang around to fill her book of spells and unspells. Thanks for the inspiration. I love your face drawings with their wondefully defined features.
Roz you're an inspiration, you really are! I started the fake journal month with such glee - then we had a bit of an awful drama at home with my DH - who is still, very worryingly, in hospital - si my three ntitries at the beginning and my 'little person' author, have been left in limbo - but I will put her back in 'hibernation' until next year when I will no doubt feel a bit less creatively stunted. I HAVE, though, bloody-mindedly kept on with my own journal (only a recent habit since just before christmas) - although sometimes it's more written than illustrated. C'est la vie, eh?

Jana, I'm glad to hear this. I think a full book of spells and unspells (and who's to say one is enough?) is great. When you have a character you love (or hate, not your case, but it applies to some) and she has more to say I'm always in favor of letting them have voice. I look forward to your on-going journey. Thanks for jumping in again this year! And I'm glad you enjoyed my drawings. There's a bit of text coming up at the very end that's coming up.
Jules, well you did well to protect your regular journal. That always comes first with the journal, especially when there are family emergencies. I'm glad at least you could get a little taste for the fake journal. Writing is great in a journal, even a visual journal. I think one just has to go with what is happening and get something down on paper, written or visual, or a mix. Something that keeps the connection with your brain, heart, and hand going. Something simple and direct that helps you move through difficult times. It's always one page at a time, and only after a life of pages can you even begin to see the pattern. So keep filling pages.
