When you need a journaling jumpstart, discuss and debate where the words come from. Is "Journal writing the channeling of universal energy?" WriteON!

When I sit down to write I know it will not be seen by anyone. After I get out what is on my mind I decide what color to paint the page. I sometimes press some designs into the wet paint. Like bubble wrap or I take a toothbrush and spatter another color on top of the first.
Then I look for the picture that has something to do with my feelings underneath the paint. For instance I had found a picture in a magazine that showed a little girl really angry. I put that picture on with this quote: "Anger has a way of evaporating in the face of compassion".
I'm not always angry I have cheerful ones too. HA-HA. ~Annie Larsen
