I spend a lot of time at a computer for work and play, and as a child of the digital age, I can’t remember ever being without access to a computer in my home. But I do often find it cathartic putting pen to paper, so my journals are handwritten in the scrawling, bastardised version of Victorian Modern Cursive that I’ve developed over the years. You can buy specific journal notebooks, with Moleskine and Rhodia carrying a certain romanticism for writers. Perhaps even couple it with a quill or fountain pen if you want to feel like your favourite legendary author.
