Notebook March 10, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to carrying a notebook with me wherever I go — to class, work, and such — and I haven’t had something work as well as people have told me before. It’s a wonderful thing to always have paper on hand, for whenever some unusual idea strikes, but having something specific to put them all in, small enough to carry anywhere, but large enough to write more than a word or two per line really makes everything worthwhile.
Of course, I’ve done this with other notebooks before, but I ended up with a smaller sized three subject notebook, that I can more easily tell is not one of my school books, and is divided up so I can work on a few stories at once (which I am always doing, even though I probably shouldn’t). We’ll see how long it lasts before I end up putting it down in favor of some other notebook, but I don’t think I’ve found something so useful to write with since I realized Notepad was much easier to write in than Word or OpenOffice (especially OpenOffice, for me at least). But that’s another story for later, when I’m not staring down midterms and multiple papers.
