" I’m curious to know what people do once, they
complete a journal. My sketchbooks I leave it for people to see in our home
library. The personal journals I have them in a box in my closet …."

"I shelve my sketchskines, in order. I don’t keep really personal jounals
– haven’t since my 30s but suppose I would box them and keep them out of
sight.. I also shelve my agendas in order for future reference. If someone asks
to see a sketchskine they’re usually happy with my current book. If not the back
numbers are easy to find.

My paintings and drawings are all over the place and that’s usually what
people want to look at."

Today on Notebookism
I’ve been keeping my filled journals in a large Rubbermaid container.
I’ve been keeping journals since 1976–and they are all in boxes. Once I finish one, I seldom go back to it. I guess my descendents will read them someday.
i keep them in my office space… i’m starting to get a fairly good collection now that i use them for all my note keeping. i return to my journals more often than i ever expected; perhaps i’m too nostalgic that way.
I keep “non intimate journals” It means: everybody can read them. Some are only art ones, others just about what happened and others a little mixture…I have a journal of others blogs as well
Well, I keep them on my bookshelf, because I tend to go back to them from time to time. It’s easy to get perspective on current situations, and sometimes even a better understanding, after reading about what I might have done and thought about similar issues in the past. Until recently, before discovering Moleskine noteboooks, I was writing in composition books. Eventually, it’s all going to be so numerous that I think I’ll have to use some kind of volume numbering system to keep track of them…
As for whether someone reads them or not. I admit that not everything in these books is something I’d want everyone to know, and I never encourage anyone to read my journals, EVER. However, nothing I write in them is something that I wish to hide from the world forever and ever, and if someone had enough of an interest in my thoughts to want to read thoroughly enough (through a ton of text) to uncover whatever shocking truths might be buried there… well, more power to them, I guess.
So, they stay in plain sight, on the shelf.
I label each notebook with its dates and carefully store them away. When I move, the watertight boxes go into a storage unit. One day I will have to archive them properly– if I ever have a house with sufficient bookshelf space!
