Being a life-long journal writer, Jim, I appreciate your history of your forays into the land of the messy and random. Thanks for the images, too. I'm also a writer-by-hand. The memoir was 10 sprawling spiral-bound notebooks composed over a couple of years. I like the physicality of writing by hand and embrace my misspellings and garbled grammar. Thanks always for your Messages from all the places.
Loved this post! I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a decent journal ever since Santiago. Going back this weekend for a couple of days and will report back.

Thanks, Judy! I filled up my When Your Heart Says Go journal in Santiago!
Looking forward to the panel Friday and of course the book when you finish! Love the DBL shout out. :)
It was exciting to listen to those bands before it calcified into the Epitaph sound. Hell, it was exciting then, too!

I bought a really nice handmade journal with a paper cover from a vendor at a stall in Bellas Artes around the corner from Esqueletos Libros.
