Hey there! So, I recently saw an article about sort of outlining novels/fantasy on a bullet journal. You would take notes on characters, geography, plot, progress and all. But I was a bit busy when I saw it, so I lost the article. Would you happen to know any posts about bullet journaling for a writer/novel/fantasy? It would reeeeaaally help me! Thank you!!!

Hello dear! I’m sure you’ve answered this question already, so I’d be content with a simple link, if you can find the post. :) My problem is that I WANT to write. I have all these amazing stories inside my head, new ideas every day, but it seems I just can’t pick myself up to sit down and write them! Somehow I perceive the process of writing as a lot of work, even though I know it would just take me about 1h daily. I usually give up after 2-3 days. Any tips?
