@JournalChat okay, I'll try to do that. Btw, I don't have an approach, but I'm looking to discover what would work for me. #journalchat

@JournalChat Instead of banishing my inner-critic, I acknowledged he has a place. But NOT while I'm writing! #JournalChat

@lighthouse4food I run into news stories of folks who publish books based on journal entries. Check #JournalChat Links edition on my blog.

JournalChat4:09pm via HootSuite

@hollicbuck that's sounds like something I would read in one of my Julia Cameron books. She speaks of the inner critic. #JournalChat

@jmgreenleaf Oh, yes. #Journaling gives young ones a place to use what they have naturally with no rules. #JournalChat

lighthouse4food3:56pm via TweetChat

If you have '40 years' of journals how do you find anything fairly efficiently? Thoughts on indexing?#journalchat

JournalChat3:56pm via HootSuite

@hollicbuck So it was a bit of an art journal too. Drawing is a good activity; great for the right brain, creativity. #JournalChat

hollicbuck3:55pm via HootSuite

@DawnHerring I'm an incredible perfectionist and I'm now teaching myself that I can't write 'wrong.' Writing is only right! #JournalChat

jmgreenleaf3:55pm via web

@JournalChat I notice that with my blog posts, too, and I still mess up or over-edit. hee hee#Journaling #JournalChat

JournalChat3:55pm via HootSuite

@LynetteBenton Yes, Lynette, I wholly agree. And I write in my journal first thing in the am. It's a great way to start my day! #JournalChat

hollicbuck3:54pm via HootSuite

@DawnHerring You would think it's only for public, but I even edit my own PRIVATE writing. It's more habitual than anything. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:54pm via HootSuite

@jmgreenleaf I notice that when I write blog posts since they will be posted publicly. #Journaling#JournalChat

@JournalChat Thank you! They have voices, but they don't always want to use them-journaling helps that! #Journaling #JournalChat
