Moleskine
I’m going to be talking a lot about writing in Moleskines soon in a big post soon, so instead of leaving a confusing mental image for some of you of scribbling on the bloody flesh of rodents, I should explain what Moleskines are.
For lack of a flashy explaination, Moleskines are tough little notebooks. They pitch them as artsy-fartsy, the same notebooks artsy-fartsy people used, so if I use them, I’m artsy-fartsy too. I got some from this site, and have had one on me every day since they’ve arrived.
I found a list of ‘hacks‘ for the books, but I haven’t found many of them to be useful or relevant. Other then a post-it note, I’ve been keeping it simple and default. Simplicity is key. I have been using a SCIENCE-GRAPHED version. I’ve always had a thing for graph paper. I like to use length and width of paper, sometimes turning things in funny directions, and the graphing on the paper lets me use space in creative ways. They are a perfect size for my pocket, and other then some flimsy pages, they will stand up to time.
There’s something really elegant and scholarly about having a little book to write in. It’s kind of funny to whip out the book and jot something down around people who don’t know me, especially in the land of everyone’s-writing-a-screenplay. Combine this with my love for pens, and I’m in busy-ness.
Sidenote: Old livejournal friends of mine will remember my epic post about how much I love pens, but I can’t seem to find it… Is there a way to search through your journal?
Edit: ANNIE PWNS ME. She found my huge Pen post here. I THINK I’LL REPOST IT IN MY BLOG.
