“Unlock the Hidden Treasures: What Secrets Lurk in Your Creative Writing Notebook?”
When you work with paper, more of your senses are engaged. When more of your senses are engaged, creativity flows more freely. It’s a tactile experience.
I get lost in my writing when I’m composing scenes on my computer, but the real magic happens when I’m working out problems and developing ideas in my writing notebook.
Deciding How to Use Your Writing Notebooks
Back when I first started writing, it was just me, a pen, and a spiral-bound notebook that had been intended for schoolwork. At some point, I discovered hardbound journals with decorative covers. As long as they weren’t too high-priced, I found them to be serviceable and fun to write in. But if they were too fancy (expensive), they tended to remain on my shelf. I prefer mid-range notebooks: not so cheap that they’ll fall apart, but not so expensive that they seem too precious to write in.
