How I Keep a Journal

I got a few zines from Veronique and Sierra DeCarmen that use the French fold format, and I was inspired to try it myself.

How I Keep a Journal is a zine about my journaling habit. It includes a short background on my journaling style, how I set up my notebook, and how journaling helps me. I wrote everything by hand, which is not my norm for zines with a lot of text. 😅 But it fits the journaling theme.

The zine is printed in color, double-sided, on white 8.5x11-inch paper.

Images of each page are below. You can download a printable PDF version in my Ko-fi shop (for free/pay what you want). My Etsy shop is in vacation mode until September, so maybe later I’ll list a few physical copies there.

I really like the French fold, and I have ideas for more zines in this format. 🙂

Handwritten pages on dotted paper discuss journaling habits and supplies used. The pages are decorated with multi-color polka dot washi tape.

Handwritten lists detail personal journaling supplies and habits, with sections about the current journaling setup, tools, and tips for effective journaling.
