This week theme: Do you like your journal pages to look perfect?
Anything related to keeping a journal is welcome in this weekly thread.
I don't care if my journal pages are perfect, but I do mind if the ink/lead smudges, as that almost undermines the whole point of writing in them to begin with. This reminded me I need to note the ink/lead details to better pick what to use that hopefully shouldn't smudge as much.
I don't mind my journal being messy. I don't make it look it so (save the first page, like I already explained) but shits do happen and I also do a lot of mistakes or I will strike something and so on. That's fine for me. But I must also say I can also appreciate when I can see pictures of others 'nice' journals. It's just, I don't need to feel that for my own journal.
