@WritingYoga I know what you mean, Bruce. We don't have to but we can if we want to. #Journalchat

JournalChat3:36pm via HootSuite

@queen_elisheba I also keep an art journal/ collage. Love it. #JournalChat

Rising early is another way, too, of fooling the censor. Getting words down before he or she awakens. #JournalChat

@SpiresMedia You're probably looking for golden insight? ;) #JournalChat

JournalChat3:35pm via HootSuite

@SpiresMedia I always found I didn't have enough time to journal as much without interruption; I determined to get up earlier. #JournalChat

The thing about journaling... you can reread entries or never reread them... there are no rules. What works best for you? #JournalChat

JournalChat3:34pm via HootSuite

@JoLynneValerie Our journals reflect our lives like a mirror, JoLynne. But of course. :) #JournalChat

JoLynneValerie3:34pm via web

@WritingYoga I reread entries...so many of my dreams are precognitive. Also I like to examine the evolution of mind/heart/goals #JournalChat

queen_elisheba3:34pm via HootSuite

@JoLynneValerie I also keep art journals and blog about them! #journalchat

JournalChat3:33pm via HootSuite

@WritingYoga Oh, Bruce, I just realized you meant we all journal in the mornings. :D #JournalChat

@WritingYoga Bruce, we're right on time!#JournalChat always begins at 5 EST. :)

@WritingYoga Interesting...seems I spend more time re-reading entries than I do writing new ones :/#JournalChat

JournalChat3:31pm via HootSuite

@JoLynneValerie It's cool to incorporate visual expression with the text, JoLynne. #Journalchat

JournalChat3:30pm via HootSuite

@WritingYoga I do keep a journal for every writing project; I totally understand the focus that comes from that. Awesome. #JournalChat

@DawnHerring I do it the same way, luv..Hopes, dreams, fears, relationships, sad days, happy stuff, sex *shrug* it's my journal #JournalChat

JournalChat3:29pm via HootSuite

@queen_elisheba Sounds like an intuitive purchase; a block needing release, perhaps, Elizabeth? <3#JournalChat

WritingYoga3:29pm via TweetChat

Looks like lots of early birds here! #JournalChat

WritingYoga3:29pm via TweetChat

But I rarely go back to reread entries. The key for me is in the moment... what I discover as I'm writing...#JournalChat

@queen_elisheba #Journaling helps establish a calm center to help start our day; I've been getting up earlier for that too. :) #JournalChat

One of my teachers has multiple journals for different themes, subjects. It's a way to stay focused, I suspect. #JournalChat

@WritingYoga What types of things do you write about in your journals? @queen_elisheba@DawnHerring #JournalChat

JournalChat3:24pm via HootSuite

@queen_elisheba We all run into that inner censor sometimes, Elizabeth. It helps to free write or stream of consciousness. #JournalChat

I write much slower than I type. Seems that my mind...censors what I write at times. Perhaps my ego trying to trick me. #journalchat
