Learning at the JourneyPen Project
There are many ways to learn here at the JourneyPen Project.
I’ve organized them here to help you navigate.
Collections
(noun) written content around a particular theme. There’s no set order, so you can browse to find something useful to you.
The Shelbish Glossary
I sometimes invent language or borrow terms from other fields to explain creativity. Many of these concepts are unique to the JourneyPen Project, and I’ve rounded them up on this page
Renewing Capacity
Previously called “Renewing Calm.” This collection focuses on replenishing your inner resources to pursue whatever targets you’re aiming at, including a creative project. After all, every creative process begins with courage and capacity.
Pathways
(noun) content, questions, exercises, and other material designed to take you on a journey into making your own meaning. They’re organized in a suggested order that allows you to move through the material at your own pace.
People Are Stories-in-Progress
Character Arcs in Life and in Fiction
This Pathway pulls from both my personal experiences and my novels to investigate character arcs, whether they’re fictional characters or people you know (including yourself). It can help you complete a character-driven subplot if you’re writing fiction or make meaning from your own life if you’re ready to deepen your self-understanding.
