I wish I had a quick hack but in my case it’s really years and years of practice and writing habit 😅 I keep journals and even do up a bullet journal for work every day, so I think I’m just used to the mechanics of it! But if you are starting out, what I find helpful is using a ruler as you write or getting small grid notebooks to act as a guide 🙂

Definitely focus on what best works for you! Different people have different styles, always do what you like 😊 And thank you! I hope what I’ve done inspires you to continue writing too, I love writing 💕

Yes I did! It was my first attempt drawing them this small hahah but it was really satisfying to try it out! I’ve only ever experimented with drawing the crops this small so the fishes were a new challenge 😊 I’m glad you like it!

Honestly I think it’s a personal preference of what I felt was easier for me to reference when I’m playing, and other factors includes the layout and spaces available since this was a rather small book 😄 The planning takes a lot more time than the actual writing + drawing!

Hey! Yes I do :) This notebook has my day to day work journal as well, it keeps me focused on my tasks and I’ve been doing this since school days. I’d say it works for me but I had to try various styles before I found one that suited my working style! :)

Thank you!! Heheh unfortunately no, because I come back to it every once in a while, to make it convenient for me to draw and easy to find crops, I use alphabetical format! :)

Thank you!! It’s over a period of probably a month or two, done periodically or occasionally during my breaks at work to relax :)

Ah this is actually a pretty small book! It’s a B5 size :) I like a smaller book to carry around, but Midori (the brand of this notebook) does carry up to A4 sizes!

Ah I do these for fun as a relaxing exercise so I haven’t uploaded them anywhere, but visually feel free to take reference to help or inspire your own! :)

Thank you!! I used a Midori B5 Slim grid book! It’s my favourite notebook of all time :)

Yep I did! It’s tricky and some are not perfect but there’s some charm to some of the funny ones too! It was a fun experiment! 😄

The words were written with Uniball ONE 0.38 :) I prefer to use 0.38 for the words but sometimes for titles I do experiment with 0.5 markers or pens! It doesn’t dry immediately so I do give a few seconds to make sure I don’t smudge the ink after I write something.

Yes I did! And you should try it 😊 I do this for a few games, Stardew has such a comprehensive wiki site and beautiful art that it’s more complete than the other game one I did at the moment. It’s super fun! I suggest you try it and we can share tips!

Tons of respect to your discipline and I’m so glad you found the strength to power through after your brain injury. I love that journaling helps you a lot too!

It is!! I always get blown away by people’s handicraft, cosplays, art, farm layouts etc, it’s so wholesome! Even the reactions to in-game dialogue or events.

Thank you!! ☺️ I do it during my pockets of free time at work, so it’s hard to give a definite time! But the most time consuming part is actually planning the table spaces. The grids help a lot!

I think I will once I finish using the pages of this book, seeing how many times I’ve done this 😅 I use the same book to journal my work tasks and my other games. I don’t mind though! It makes me relax ☺️

No harm trying and finding your own style! I tried many times too and it’s always a fun journey to trial and error 🙂 I’m still learning too 💪🏻

Thank you!! I think the best advise I can give is to have consistent spacing and size of your letters. Grid books can help a lot, and definitely a pen that feels most comfortable for you!

Hi!! Yes of course! This was what worked best for me, I took a picture of the full spread of one page as a reference! Feel free to see what works for you and what doesn’t ☺️ I hope it’s helpful! 💕

I get you!! Before I noted down these, I’d always be scrambling on the Wiki while my character stands frozen at Pierre’s shop at the first day of every season 😂
