A Notebook-The Poor Man's Laptop
January 24th 2008 03:36
As a writer, odds are you're going to want to write outside of your home, quite plausibly away from your desktop. And we're not all rich enough for a laptop.
This post is, in essence, the guide to stationary. Starting with notebooks.
When you're looking for a notebook, you're not looking for one with a leather cover, or a fancy type of paper. You're looking for simplicity, so that you're not too awestruck to write in the thing.
What generally works best is a simple black cover and a lined notebook. Me, I tend to go for a little bit of design but not much. You have to find the book that's right for you-some of us have specific qualifications for our notebooks.
Others do not.
The second thing you need is a pen; a pen that may not be expensive, but one that's not uber-repulsive or incredibly uninspiring. Something you'd actually enjoy writing with, ya know?
I'd expand further, but I've got to go. As a final note-look for pen and paper that inspire you, but don't make you scared by their prettiness.
