Here is the notebook I am currently using for my work in progress. As you can see, it gets quite jumbled up. I tend to write as quickly as possible, because thoughts literally escape my mind as fast as they enter. Sometimes this means that what I have written becomes illegible. I’ll type up the notes at a later date, usually using Google docs (or Celtx for scripts). I very often can’t decipher my own handwriting, however it can lead to some interesting modifications during the translation process.
I earn the majority of my income as a copywriter, for that job I am joined to laptop keyboard, often writing several thousand words each day. As such, I find that the freedom of writing by hand can give a renewed sense of creativity.
I tend to start a new notebook for each project. This one is a Peter Pan Moleskin
I’d love to hear about what you all write on. Are you purely digital, or do you have a favourite notebook?
