Hello worlds! As we kick off the New Year of 2025, I thought it would be fun to share my journal collection with you all. I’ve got my brand-new daily planner, music and fiction journals, and a bunch of vocab books. This week’s vlog shares my current journal set-up. What are your favourite journals?

A few thoughts on entering 2023 (main or lunar calendar) and taking the first creative step. Events of recent years have left creative people in a weird place, so a simple thought on how to get going in the new year. Here’s the latest vlog. View below or click the link to YouTube.

This week’s vlog is all about the journals I am using at the beginning of 2023. This year I am using a mix of paper and digital planners and journals. I’ll revisit this later to see how I am doing, what has worked and what has changed. Click above to watch on YouTube or below to view here.
Here are links to the software mentioned in the video: Things 3 (digital to-do list) Day One (digital journal) Scrivener (fiction writing software)

My week has been very creative, although it feels like I haven’t achieved much. I suppose that’s down to not having completed things. These creative field notes are very much concerning works in progress. But that is the idea behind posting this each week.

Songs and Music
I’m still working on the tracks that, I hope, will become a new album in the near future. I have a working list of ten tracks in various stages of (de)composition.
There’s also a soundtrack being composed inspired by the word emerge… it’s all butterflies and stuff… what do butterflies sound like, and what is the sound of them emerging from their cocoon? I’m doing a video series about that process, and the first video in the playlist is here.
Art and images
Did an ink splat to tie in with this week’s creative prompt. That’s fig 1 at the top of the page.
Journals and planners

Did a little page for my art/thoughts/meme journal, I don’t have a real name for this journal. It is a part image, part word journal, and I am using my Iconic journal.
Words and stories
When it comes to text, blog posts and marketing have been in the work/freelance pile this week. I’d love to spend more time writing fiction… but my desire is obviously not enough at the moment to actually do anything about it.
Inspiration
Currently reading:
The Saints of Salvation by Peter F Hamilton. This is the final book in his recent Salvation Sequence Trilogy. I am thoroughly enjoying these. And my favourite line this week, which also gives a glimpse at what the content is…
We just don’t have the psychology to deal with Armageddon
From Bills & Aches & Blues (40 years of 4AD). This is a compilation album celebrating 40 years of 4AD. And that makes me feel even older, seeing as I have a few very early 4AD recordings on original vinyl. I love Future Islands and I love Colourbox, who originally recorded The moon is blue. And this is a pretty good cover version.

April update on what journals I am currently using as I continue my pilgrimage. It seems I might be heading straight back to where it all began, but I’ll let you watch and find out.
I am currently overwhelmed by the number of creative projects or creative possibilities that I have. To continue on my pilgrimage I need to drop or get rid of a few. It’s difficult to let go of some things though. I’d love to hear how you decide what to do and focus on? Would love to hear your thoughts and comments either here or on YouTube.
Stay safe my friends xox
