Rules for an Everything Journal 
1) Embrace imperfection. You’ll make mistakes and cross things out, and that’s OKAY. 
2) Write, draw, scribble, tape ticket stubs and other memories…do anything! 
3) Literally, do whatever you want. Don’t be hard on yourself. 

Additional tips: 

<ul>
<li>If you have writer’s block, look back in your old Everything Journal(s). You may find gems! </li>
<li>I personally use a <a href="http://amzn.to/2iHT2yp" target="_blank">Moleskine Large Music Notebook</a>, because it has both blank and music staff pages. </li>
</ul>

Composer, violinist, and singer-songwriter Chrysanthe Tan speaks in 3-minute bursts on the introverted creative life. Or rather...what it's really like to be an independent, autistic artist in LA. (sigh)
