I didn’t create this website to have an “About” page. In fact, this website was intended to be a full-blown AI driven content farm dubbed “Journling.com”, back in 2023. It was an experiment that I eventually abandoned.
The idea was to take something I love – journaling – and commercialize it. Yeah. Nope.
I couldn’t keep posting journal pen reviews and Moleskine critiques. That website changed names, and I found a name that communicates what I think of when I think of journaling.
If you came because Google showed you a journaling prompt or a book review, I hope you’ll stay and take a look at the new approach I’ve taken. The more personal articles range from explaining how this original project failed, when I wrote about tossing out my grandfather’s sermon notes, and when I talked about how to protect and preserve paper journals for generations.
What You’ll See if You Come Back
This blog is in a state of becoming. It’s not there quite yet. Will there still be journaling tips? Yes, because it’s what matters most to me. And yet, most of the time the writings I publish here will be “journaling adjacent” and focused on the core message:
These aren’t posts about journaling. They’re posts about not disappearing.
Not everyone writes for the same reason. But we all want something of us to remain. A memory. A feeling. An idea. A story.
I’ll be sharing stories that are intertwined with my lifelong love of journaling. I hope that along the way, you’ll find something that inspires you to keep writing.
