Dawn over on d'blogala is hosting (for the 2nd time I believe) NaNoJouMo with wonderful journaling prompts/words. No pressure, just a way to do some art journaling everyday, getting in the habit so to speak ;) Now we all realise I need a bit of that!
She says:
Each day during November, I will post a word to get you art journaling. A journal jump of sorts—one word a day to inspire or get you thinking. The goal is to journal SOMETHING in your art journal. DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A FULL PAGE...can be a doodle, maybe painting some backgrounds, doing some collage...just SOMETHING every day in your art journal during November. Even if it’s just moving a pencil across the page in a crooked line...
Nothing earth-shattering.
You may say, “Dawn, WHY should I do this?”
Well, I know some of us (many, let’s be honest) have a difficult time getting started. Sometimes we just need a kick in the pants to encourage us. I also want you to learn how to journal a little at a time. Art journaling is an activity that can be done in spurts. You don’t have to create an entire page or spread in one sitting. I have pages in all stages of production! And it’s OK!
So I decided the night before last to join and wow, it really works! I feel inspired to create (somewhat more than just writing pen to paper). Thank you DAWN! There are prompts/words available as from the 1st of November so quite a bit of catching up to do for me and that's ok. I have been having late nights again because my mind simply won't rest and what a better way to deal with life than doing some art play?
