Journaling volumes

I split my journal into volumes of around 7,000 words. The content is defined by a loose word limit, not dates, because I may go on a writing spree for several days and write thousands of words but then write less in the following weeks. What matters for printing is not going over a word count that would make the content too long. This helps identify different time periods and allows me to print and review each volume as a zine.

"Giving yourself time to re-read what you've written lets you view your writing from the lens of a reader," I wrote in My journals. "There are facts you forgot about and stylistic resources you don't remember using."

It's also a great way to capture thoughts and memories, like Stories are the answer, an essay in memory of Patrick Winston.

However, I haven't been printing them lately and have opted to highlight and read them on my laptop. Sometimes, I've sent them to my Kindle to read in the same medium I read books and long-form articles.

Same typeface, screen, and feel. But written by me.
