Welcome to Jo's Juicy Journal.
Welcome to Jo’s Journal by me, Jo Franco.
I’ve yearned for writing in my journal the way a man craves water in the blistering sun of summer. Throw that man in the desert, and that’s the urge I have to write… On a daily basis, and since the age of 12.
I’ve always thought the judgement of others wasn’t where I’d want my thoughts to live. So I resorted to paper and pen instead. At least there, my ideas had a chance to survive before getting judged to death. Journaling isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s the way I process everything, from daily nothings, to major life events, and thoughts I know I’ll want to remember.
And because it’s day by day, page by page, I’ve created an archive of my life in the process, and still going strong.
I’ve been fortunate enough to grow a following around journaling, and the art of self-discovery, but since launching JoClub a year ago, I admit I haven’t been sharing my writing as much as I would like. Which is why this Substack page will be a game changer.
I’ll share journal entries weekly here, even if only to digitize what I fear might erase from so many years of worn ink. *Journal caught in a flood anxiety*
Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue. Looking forward to writing with you.
