If, like me, the urge to write strikes you at random times, it can be frustrating to not have the tools to get your thoughts out. And often when I feel like writing, I need to get away from my laptop and phone to eliminate distractions and just type. While there are many distraction-free writing strategies (such as using a typewriter!), there are many benefits of using a digital micro journal. This selection of multiple DIY Micro Journal kits gives you not only a great tool to help encourage spontaneous writing, but also allows you to easily transfer your text to other digital devices if you want.
On top of those benefits, you can also make the kit uniquely yours. The process of assembling the journal will give you many opportunities to modify and personalize it to suit your tastes. You could paint the shell, add stickers, change parts of the design like the screen or keyswitches, and generally create a unique piece that is itself an expression of your creativity!
Un Kyu Lee offers three different styles of kits, which range in price and size. They are also available pre-assembled if you just want a complete, well-built tool to work with. Almost all the parts needed are included; you just need to provide a battery, SD card, and keyswitches compatible with the MX Cherry footprint. Custom colours are available, and each version has its own build guide and quick start guide that’ll have you up and writing in no time.
