You never need any of this. Just write. But if you want an entry to say who was speaking, or to look a certain way, here's everything Solous understands. Every example on this page is shown exactly the way your journal shows it.
Above every writing box is a row of chips: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Calm, Doubt, and any you add. Put the cursor on a line and tap one: that emotion speaks from that line on, until you pick another. Most entries need just one tap at the start. The chip that is lit shows who is speaking where your cursor is.
@😊 Joy: I got the job! I called Mum straight away. We went out for dinner.
😊 Joy I got the job!
I called Mum straight away.
We went out for dinner.
Tap a chip once at the start. Everything after it is that emotion's, across lines and paragraphs.
@😊 Joy: They picked me. @😟 Fear: What if I'm not good enough? @😌 Calm: One day at a time.
😊 Joy They picked me.
😟 Fear What if I'm not good enough?
😌 Calm One day at a time.
Tap another chip on a new line. The new emotion speaks from there on.
@😤 Anger: That meeting was a waste. @-: Anyway, dinner was nice.
😤 Anger That meeting was a waste.
Anyway, dinner was nice.
Tap “No emotion”. It's stored as @-: and shows nothing.
@😊 Joy: # The day I said yes I got the job.
😊 Joy
I got the job.
Press Enter right after the emotion: it gets a line of its own, and the title starts below it.
@The 15-year-old me: Finally! @🌊: just the sea today
The 15-year-old me Finally!
🌊 just the sea today
Tap “+” after the emotion chips, or type @Name: at the start of a line.
One Enter starts a new line. Like this. A blank line starts a new paragraph.
