Oh my goodness, journaling... it's my nemesis. I totally have to be in the mood to journal or it just isn't happening. My problem is that I get so hung up on making it perfect, I think - I want to make sure I get all the meaning out of the pictures, and express all my emotions, and say everything in a clever way... I always end up thinking I could have said it better. And like Laura said, I often have a hard time deciding what the story is - what angle do I want to take? It's just easier - and more fun - to work on the design part and leave journaling for later... which, unfortunately, means the really important pages never get done. Lately I've been sitting down at the computer just to journal so I can focus on it alone - and it helps.
