These beautiful journals can be ordered from the Etsy shop of mother and daughter Jacquelyn Vaccaro & Deborah Smith from the Hudson Valley area in New York. Truly stunning.

Interesting article about “Slow Blogging” by Sharon Otterman at The New York Times.
Excerpt: A Slow Blog Manifesto, written in 2006 by Todd Sieling, a technology consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia, laid out the movement’s tenets. “Slow Blogging is a rejection of immediacy,” he wrote. ‘It is an affirmation that not all things worth reading are written quickly.” (Nor, because of a lack of traffic, is Mr. Sieling writing this blog at all these days.) Ms. Ganley, who recently left her job as a writing instructor at Middlebury College, compares slow blogging to meditation. It’s “being quiet for a moment before you write,” she said, “and not having what you write be the first thing that comes out of your head.”
Now on the Internet–an example of an important handwritten book, Codex Sinaiticus, written over 1600 years ago. The manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. “Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book.” See it here.

“SOME people spin on their high heels,” Jill Kargman was saying the other day. “I spin on my paper.”
This True Writer pen from Levenger is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for writing slowly.
These one-of-a-kind journals will be the perfect place for all your slow writing. Take a look at ex libris anonymous and start your collection now. Then start writing…slowly.
And if you already have a large collection of teenage angsty journal writing,
you now have another outlet for it…as they say at Get Mortified…share the shame.
