Your tips about writing in a journal are useful for me, you clearly put a lot of thought into this and I am fortunate to benefit from your experience. Thank you.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks you! Happy to help.

[@truthserum4662]

Please keep making videos like this! I’ve been journaling for a few years now and love to see new ways of doing it

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you! I will always make videos about journaling so stay tuned! We talk about it a lot on the Live show too. All the best!

[@georgeluke1883]

WOW!!! Hemingway! This has got to be my favorite of all the videos you've done (and you've done many excellent ones). In my senior year of High School, I wrote my final term paper on Thoreau in Advance Composition class, and have had the wonderful experience of visiting Walden twice. So many of your shots were familiar to me. I grew up in Illinois about 85 miles northwest of Chicago. So going to Walden as a High School student was only a distant dream. When I finally went there for the first time it was almost akin to a pilgrimage. Now I am 66 years old, sitting in my little tea room today, watching a tremendous snowfall in Nova Scotia, and this wonderful video. I had checked in to your live show the other day and was looking forward to this. You did a fantastic job! I will probably watch this video again and again, at least once a month! Probably every couple of weeks! I LOVE IT!!!

[@HemingwayJones]

Wow, George, thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. This is what keeps me motivated. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. All the best!

Hey Hemingway! Unfortunately, I've missed all your lives lately, but my evening obligations have taken me away for a bit. Just wanted to thank you for your latest series of journal tips! Little by little, day by day, my journaling becomes more honest and reflective. The way you open up to your audience allows me to drive a little deeper into my writing, no longer fixated on what others would think if they read my journal. Great work as always! And you still manage to make the video production better with each release! THANK YOU!

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you very much, Matt! I appreciate that greatly!

[@archivist17]

Well-produced video, with valuable content - both in terms of journalling technique, and highlighting the importance of Thoreau's resistance to the materialism of modernising society, valuing nature, simplicity, and equity.

This is my favorite channel on KZbin. I have absorbed many of your lessons and further developed my deep addiction to fountain pens and notebooks. I know all KZbinrs have this moment when they ask themselves why they keep doing it but please keep at it. I truly enjoy each post and your whole aesthetic. PS:,I think it would be interesting for you to discuss typewriters since you have a fine collection. As a fellow typewriter collector, I would love to take a quick tour of your collection on one of your episodes. PPS:You may enjoy a book I am reading entitled "The Notebook: a History of Thinking on Paper" by Roland Allen. This book is truly up your alley.

[@marilyngardner4269]

I hope you won't mind a bit of feedback. There's a repeated clip here where you appear to be wandering along the wooded path in a contemplative fashion, yet you can be seen visibly waving your camera person back with your hand. In the theater, I believe this is called "breaking the fourth wall." Of course, we know from the angles that someone must be there filming you (and eventually, we even see that person's shadow), but I find it startling to see a stage direction in the middle of a nature stroll. Still a lovely video; I love the idea of looking to Thoreau for journaling inspiration and will be pulling out my copy of On Walden Pond for inspiration soon.

[@HemingwayJones]

I had to go look for the clip you were speaking about and try to figure it out. I know what you mean and it’s funny because I am not addressing the camera person but my daughter who was also there. One of the issues I had in filming this one was that I really didn’t have enough footage for what I wanted to say, so I used everything! Although truth be told, I break 4th wall all the time. I appreciate the feedback and I am glad you like the video. All the best.

[@marilyngardner4269]

@@HemingwayJones Ah, that makes sense. Walden Pond isn't really a place to be *solitary man in the woods" anymore anyway. The shots with your daughter are charming

[@richardzak2140]

Hello HJ. What a nice job with the video. The scenery inspires a deeper, more deliberate way of life. It truly embraces the journey in one's life and gives it meaning. Documenting it in a journal gives us a means of remembering all that has happened to us, good or bad and allows us to grow as human beings. Again, great job and thank you.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you, Richard! I appreciate the kind words and it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you!

[@IreneFaivre]

Thank you for the wonderful video on journaling and Thoreau. I read Walden first in college when I was taking a class on early American writers. I've reread bits and pieces since then. Your video has inspired me to slow down and relax into the pace of an earlier day and style of writing, and read it through again, as well as to be more intentional about my journaling.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you so much, Irene! I am so happy that this resonated with you. This was so fun to make and so special to me. I love when I have the whole family involved and we were able to introduce Thoreau to our little one. I am so glad that this inspired you!

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you, Brian! I appreciate it. I hear that and share the feeling, My Friend.

[@Steck896]

This is an amazing video, probably my favourite. Beautiful images of a peaceful day are an ideal complement to your vision of the real meaning of journaling. This video is a little gem, it’s so original and motivating. My only wish for your future works is to watch them with no interruptions, commercials just ruin the atmosphere and disrupt the viewer’s concentration. I’ll surely join your channel as soon it is ads free. Thanks for being my main source of inspiration in journaling.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much, Sergio! I don’t think that it will ever be ads free. KZbin runs ads and we either share in ia small portion of the revenue or we don’t. I don’t think I have much input in the ads or how they run. I may be wrong about that. I will look into it further. I have KZbin Premium because I watch so much KZbin! So I don’t know what ads are like, but I agree with you that I don’t like them interrupting. Take care!

[@judyanderson1329]

Perhaps you should join now to show your support. If enough people join, then Hemingway could see at what point he felt he could survive and thrive without KZbin ads.

[@Scouzeboy]

Greetings from Australia. Great Video I enjoyed it. The global pandemic initiated my journey into pens, ink and journals. With me it's all or nothing and I took the bull by the horns and have been journalling religiously every since then. Simultaneously I have about 5 journals on the go which include: Everyday Journal; Recollections Journal; Piano Practice Journal; One line per day Journal and copying the notebook of Mark Twain just for the sake of writing. I have about 70 fountain pens, just as many inks and lots of journals. So I've gone crazy. Not knowing about this diarist I would say that he was definitely inspired by Buddha. One of the quotes you highlighted is reminiscent of the Buddha. But that's only my opinion. Great Video.

Wendell, My Friend, thank you very much! I really appreciate it. I am so glad that I can help to inspire you even in a small way. Thanks for being here with me.

[@wlbrockman]

Thanks, Hemingway. I can't add much to what others have already said, so I'll try to be brief. For those who, like me, have mild depression, keeping a "gratitude journal" is a wonderful tonic. Just keep a record of the things for which you are grateful on a daily basis. Especially simple things like a smile, a kiss or a sunset. For most, it is uplifting to realize the good almost always outweighs the not so good. For folks who are spiritually inclined, I highly recommend "The Diary of a Soul." Written by St. Therese of Liseux, it chronicles what is now known as her "little way of holiness." A path that involves nothing more than doing the simplest things in life with love and gratitude and understanding that even our trials and tribulations have the potential for great good. On a much more practical note, I highly recommend journaling for anyone who, like me, continues trying to improve his/her cursive writing. Practice, practice, practice! In addition, rather than use paragraphs, I keep 6 pens inked up with different colored inks and switch pens when I would normally begin a new paragraph. That way, I get lots of use out of my 35 or so pens and inks, all of which I enjoy a lot. Save a wee bit of paper, too!

[@HemingwayJones]

Hello My Friend! Wonderful comment! Thank you. I identified with the cursive writing practice. This was one of my initial inspirations 30 years ago. Drop by again again and all the best.

[@marachristian8726]

As usual, lovely video! Incidentally, I will be headed to Quartzsite, AZ next week where Van-Lifers and RV enthusiasts congregate for the winter months because of the moderate temps (70 degrees in January) and free camping on BLM land. Ironic because these modern day "off-grid minimalists" require internet connections because they use their monetized KZbin channels to fund their lifestyle so they can pay for gas, propane, showers, solar panels, batteries, and campground fees. They shamelessly seek views and likes and new subscribers to gain corporate sponsorships, so they really aren't "off-grid minimalists" at all! They would not survive 30 days living in a rustic cabin with no plumbing, electricity, running water, etc.!

[@HemingwayJones]

That is a good point! They better have a lot of subscribers if they are trying to live from Social Media! It doesn’t pay much. Have a wonderful tome down there. It would make for some awesome B Roll! I love AZ. I haven’t been in a decade though. All the best!

Hey HJ, another great video. I grew up east of Concord and the pond and often visited it prior to the Fed's taking over. I am reminded of Henry David's comments on the newly arrived Irish as they worked on the railroad to Fitchburg when I drive over it on Rte 2. I was surprised to learn how close his 'cabin in the woods' was to Concord Center where he could in perhaps less than an hour walk to the Emerson' s for sandwich when he had enough of his beans. While I have developed my habit of writing daily, changing inks on the Bones and Ides of each month, I need to work on stretching more than writing mere daily doings. It's difficult to be more expansive least these words be read by strangers after my death. Ha. Do you re-read your journals? I have not. Am I wrong? K(eep)U(p)T(he)G(ood)W(ork).
