Journals come in many wonderful, thought-provoking designs that are sure to inspire you to get more writing done! Just like our clothing choices help us to express ourselves, journal designs are a unique way to show our individuality and are there to record our dreams and deepest secrets. Here are ten journal designs that will make you jump for a comfy spot and get you writing tonight!

Here’s a nice project for journal writers who also like crafts! This stitch-journal is a wonderful way to make your own journal and personalize it the way you want. The stitch binding is what really sets this journal apart from other designs, and filling it with your choice of pages and covers is what will make them even more unique!

You can turn any journal into a gratitude journal but this particular one has a design that evokes a sense of gratitude just by looking at it! When you are feeling writer’s block after a hard day, this is a good journal to pick up even if you feel like you have nothing good to say. Focus on the small things and jot them down, like having a loving family and a warm home to come back to. You will instantly feel a lot better!
10. This Mermaid Journal
This mermaid journal is stunning! It’s okay to admit you want this in your journal collection just to have it, with no intention to write it in it because it’s just too beautiful and we don’t blame you.
