“Im not sure where to start”
Making the first mark on a new Map Journal can be a bit daunting ~ but remember there’s never a ‘bad’ mark – All marks are a part of the story.
Like the story about your first attempts at learning to write… those early strokes are part of your final success 
But it is true that practice does make perfect, and artists after all do have sketch pads to practice on, so…
If you feel nervous about making a mess or a mark you’re not going to be happy with, make some cheap photocopies of some of the jotting boxes (for your personal use only of course!)
Now you can really let loose 
However, this is only a short term confidence builder! Don’t practice and plan so much that the entries become contrived -
Spontaneity is the key to really sparking those memories back to life in years to come!
