Please JUST DO IT!!!<br /><br />Marlenemarbranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469867603349517335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022158959043622875.post-86592004815428109452010-08-16T08:10:34.649-07:002010-08-16T08:10:34.649-07:00Cathy, to be perfectly, honest, I often don't ...Cathy, to be perfectly, honest, I often don't know where to start either, so I just do the first thing to come to hand. I can always blend it in later -- of just leave it out if I get off to an awkward start. The big deal is to just start.<br /><br />Winna, I'm glad it was your computer eschewing pop-ups instead of mine disdaining orders! Don't you love the word "eschewing?" It puts me in mind of a rather vigorous chomping and spitting out activity!"<br /><br />Connie, yeah, taking apart my journals is really useful -- I got that insight from my years of doing thumbnails for illustrating books. Publishers wanted to know what was planned for the entire book, so I'd do a set of little roughs, 2" x 3" or so, to show them. But in showing them, I showed me, too, and often rethought things in the process.<br /><br />Rhonda, I'm one of those people who often is conducting a silent running monologue in my head as I do something, explaining in detail to no-one at all what I'm doing, how and why. Weird! I've always been that way. So I might as well put it to use. And REALLY glad it's useful.Irenehttp://www.natureworkspress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022158959043622875.post-10692368595181481712010-08-16T04:52:30.737-07:002010-08-16T04:52:30.737-07:00I really like your idea of teaching within the jou...I really like your idea of teaching within the journal. I always learn from looking at other people's journal, but this would even be better! I really enjoyed reading how you finished this one....in pieces....after a trip. <br />Thank you for sharing so much!<br />Rhondarroebuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284532434509104860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022158959043622875.post-4332812912957038162010-08-14T18:36:16.278-07:002010-08-14T18:36:16.278-07:00You know I can't learn enough about "how ...You know I can't learn enough about "how you do what you do"! <br /><br />Just now I learned that you sometimes take the journal apart and spread it out to get an overview and see what you want to add. See! You are teaching and don't even know it!<br /><br />I going now to buy and download your new journal.

I personally feel that mine aren't terribly imaginative, but my subject matter kind of makes up that. I've noticed that others tend to downplay their own achievements, so perhaps I'm doing the same....<br /><br />I'm ALmost convinced the addenda would be a good idea, but I'd feel a lot more sure with a bit more feedback first.
