A couple of weeks ago, I shared a Note that seemed to strike a chord with a lot of people:
An empty notebook is wildly rich in symbolism. Who can resist a new, unblemished notebook and all the wondrous ideas that can fill its clean pages?
The problem is: Once I write in a notebook—whether journaling, making to-do lists, or brainstorming—I have to keep the momentum going, or else it’s gone for good. If I’ve taken a long break from a particular notebook, it feels weird to return to it. But I also can’t throw it away.
Alas, it follows that I have a large box of notebooks that aren’t even half used, and yet I still buy new ones. Tis the burden of being a writer, I suppose.
I’m a sucker for Field Notes. I love the portability and I use them for just about everything—lists, card game scores, big ideas. They’re the only notebooks I can regularly fill. Currently, my favorite collection is the National Park series.
Okay, your turn. I need to know what your favorite notebook is!
I love Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks.
They're sturdy, nice to touch, and always open fully.
Haven't looked back since I've started using them.
A good ol’ composition notebook (preferably quad ruled.) I’ve been using and filling them for years. Roaring Spring makes a great one.
