First, can I share a little linguistically/English awesomeness I learned recently from a friend? When you use this punctuation, ?!, it is call an interrobang. How cool is that? It basically symbolizes a question asked excitedly. And it's more than appropriate for the post title.
As a writer, I covet notebooks. I have more than I probably should, but I really really like them. I am an "old fashioned" writer. Basically I write mostly by hand, then transfer it to the computer later. I love sitting down with a good pen and a beautiful notebook and taking my time to craft beautiful words on paper. There is just something magically about that.
So when I noticed that my partner had a better, prettier notebook than I did, I was aghast! How could he have a better, prettier notebook than me?! (<~~ See, proper use of an interrobang.) When I asked him, he just shrugged. He uses his notebook to just keep a few things about work written down. He uses it sparingly and no more than a couple words a page. And that just makes me sad. His notebook is absolutely beautiful and it's used for one or two words a page.
I have decided, and my Partner completely is behind me, that I am going to go buy some beautiful new notebooks for myself. I need that beauty to be able to actually sit down and write. I need to make sure I am surrounded by lovely things so I can write lovely. Even my dystopian novels need to start by me being surrounded by good things. I will send out pictures as soon as I find something that inspires me.
What is your writing inspiration? Do you use a notebook or are you a computer all the way person?
Until Next Time!
