The Scribble Diary

photo by Lisa Currie. One awesome artist.

I love spending time on Doodlers Anonymous. It's a great community of artists where egos don't run high. Their latest post discussing a fantastic brainstorming book (call it as you please, the possibilities are endless with this diary) is something I'd like to share with anyone passing by. If you like to doodle, sketch, draw and keep a diary, but often find yourself saying "where do I start," this book is where you start. I love that it reads like a diary but you can adapt it to your style. I can't often express myself with words daily but I love converting shapes into the words I can't write. Doodle your day.

When artists take the time to develop something to help other creative minds, I'm in full support.

A lack of motivation

To do list: buy a scanner. 

I'm definitely a procrastinator. I enjoy making up excuses like, "I work better under pressure," or, "I receive better test scores if I don't study." I enjoy saying it while shaking my head up in down to reassure you it's totally true. "I'm lying, I'm lazy as shit." This is why I enjoy finding lists. Some are messy, some are very meticulous and sometimes I think the owner wrote in code. I'll often wonder if they lost their list on accident, threw it on the ground in victory, wrote it to feel important, or just lost it. I collect notebooks, a lot have a list or two written in them. Mostly food lists. Let's get real, procrastinators don't write life lists. I write distraction lists. Just not always on paper because when I throw it down in victory I don't need a stranger to read, "watched Law and Order SVU for 6 hours instead of improving her well-being."


Look, it's not that I'm a procrastinator, it's that my mind constantly loses it's list.
I'm lying, I'm lazy as shit.
My mind hasn't been able to focus on paper lately. I've decided I have to force myself to write so I don't go into a permanent numlock. Fellow nonsensical ramblers, where are you?

Intro

Years of walking in circles, I'm hoping to find a line somewhere. I'm a hermit who doodles, loves makeup, has a weak spot for mommy blogs, prefers to sleep rather than watch a sunrise (what's so exciting about sunrises?), and is dog obsessed. It's nice to meet you.
