For several years, I’ve read about using a Writer’s Notebook. Intrigued, I’d read all the ideas or suggestions for the use of such notebook I saw. While they all had something as different as the writer themselves, each of those notebooks had one thing in common—they worked for that particular writer in how they set up their own.
I’d see an idea I liked and would jot it on a sticky note. I accumulated these notes inside of a book I’d selected to use, in case I could be convinced it would, in fact, be a notebook I would want to use. I know I have far too many journals or notebooks I’ve started with a specific plan in mind only to find them sitting pretty on the shelf four months later without a new post during that time. This time, for this notebook, I was determined I wasn’t going to dive in and mess up another book with fifteen pages used. I would let the folks who used them prove to me their value.
