Wall of text My progress so far with my journal.

This writing so far is my made-up language. I don't know what to do on the next page, but my cursive lowercase letters need work. I wish I had a locked dotted paper, but this can be fine until I can afford another journal. 🤷🏾‍♀️

This is excellent. Starting is the hard part and you have that behind you now.

I hear that if you don't want people to snoop on your journal, you should use made-up language. I forgot the name, but I made my own using a modern and old alphabet.

It’s not really a language. It’s a made up alphabet.

For anyone who is curious: it a bunch of “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” written here.

It’s pretty easily breakable fyi- I used to do this and stopped bc while I could write it quickly reading it back took forever.

My friend did their WHOLE journal like that and then had to spend FOREVER translating the whole dang things years later haha. I used to larp, was handy there.

Cool. I would probably use my script for a drawing or something similar.
