I'm nervous that everyone will be annoyed by my Patreon poster push, lose all of their respect for me, and simply not be interested in my (what I think is cool) offer. In other words, just a normal day!

But still: Donât ban them just because the neurotypical public may have âruinedâ them and made them annoying for everyone. Many autistic and ADHD people like myself use them and rely on stimming activities or toys to relieve anxiety and pent up emotion!

2017-03-1800 minXanthe Briefly14: Start an Everything JournalRules for an Everything Journal
1) Embrace imperfection. Youâll make mistakes and cross things out, and thatâs OKAY.
2) Write, draw, scribble, tape ticket stubs and other memoriesâŚdo anything!
3) Literally, do whatever you want. Donât be hard on yourself.
Additional tips:
- If you have writerâs block, look back in your old Everything Journal(s). You may find gems!
- I personally use a Moleskine Large Music Notebook (http://amzn.to/2iHT2yp), because it has both blank and music staff pages.
