We returned last Sunday (a day late) from a vacation that went a little sideways (short version: our flight was cancelled due to Tropical Storm Debby and we made an extremely last minute decision to drive to Orlando) and were dropped straight into back to school week.
It's so doable! A few minutes a day recording whatever is going on and adding a bit of art quickly adds up to a wonderful illustrated record. Why wait until 2025? If this is something calling to you, just start! Thank you for the shout out, too.
hah, I should just start instead of ruminating on it. I’ve loved reading your prompts and essays each week for a while. It’s just been a time of transition at my house and it feels like there’s a lot of friction for starting something new. But I will add finding a sketchbook and assembling a little kit of supplies to my to do list this week!
I encourage you not to overthink it. It looks to me like you are already combining journaling with illustration! You could always just say you want to do a bit more of that over the next few months in the journal you are already using — and then start a new journal in the new year. Don’t let it add stress!
