The shift to analog continues and I am in love with the concept of 'junk journaling', which speaks to both a passion for the tangible, and a willingness to embrace imperfection and indulge the fun.

The brilliant Ralph Steadman on the power of handwriting, and the visceral honesty that comes through in it:

Handwriting—raw, untamed fingerprints of the mind, scrawled onto the page. Letters slant, loops tangle, and chaos bleeds between the lines. Each stroke whispers secrets, revealing the madness within. Write it wild, let it howl.

Some wisdom from F.B.I Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks:

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or two cups of good, hot black coffee.

“If I could write better than I can, perhaps I would have tried to become a novelist and I might have become a failure. If I could draw better than I can, I might have tried to become an illustrator or an artist and would have failed there. But my entire being seems to be just right for being a cartoonist.”

I love the end-of-year lists. They are a brilliant insight into other people's lives and loves, but they are also a treasure trove for discovering new and exciting things that passed me by in the madness of the year.

This Best Albums list will essentially be my listening for the Christmas season.

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”

“Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.”

(Neil Gaiman)
