Felix Lindqvist is the editor of JournalTechniques. He began keeping Morning Pages in 2012 after picking up a battered copy of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way in a Stockholm bookshop, and has not missed more than a few weeks of daily writing in the years since.
His interest is the boring, durable end of the practice: what makes a writing habit stick when motivation evaporates, which techniques have real research behind them, and how to write usefully about your own life without slipping into self-help platitudes. He reads widely in the expressive-writing literature — Pennebaker, Cameron, Carroll, Jung — and writes guides that try to be honest about what works, what is overstated, and what is mostly placebo.
Felix is not a therapist or licensed clinician. JournalTechniques articles cite primary sources and named researchers where claims about mental health are made. For any clinical concern, please consult a qualified professional.
What he writes about
- Morning Pages and stream-of-consciousness writing
- The research behind expressive writing (Pennebaker, 1986 onward)
- Reflective and structured journaling (Gibbs cycle, What/So What/Now What)
- Shadow work and Jungian-informed writing — with appropriate caution
- Building a writing habit that survives the months motivation does not
Editorial approach
Articles on JournalTechniques are written and edited by Felix and reviewed against primary sources. Where research is cited, the citation is included inline. Where a claim is anecdotal or contested, the article says so. Drafts are assisted by AI tooling for research synthesis and prose polishing, but every published article is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human editor before going live. We disclose this openly — see our editorial standards.
