Where do they disappear to? <br /><br />Penny yes I am glad to hear it is not just me, with half used or almost empty notebooks!<br /><br />Handbag - needs to be big enough to take notebook,although I also have small notebooks for emergencies,but prefer something larger. Not so big a handbag that I fill it and it becomes too heavy! <br /><br />Have one which does not look or feel huge and my small notebook/laptop does fit in one side of it, v useful for travelling and school visits.<br /><br />Sue I am really keen to find a use for the handmade one and want to use the quill pen and dragonsblood ink to write in it. <br />Just had a thought I could use it for writing-inspiring quotes perhaps?? or descriptions of fantasy creatures for future books!Linda Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354324158228109351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-57859778901148026772014-01-18T13:30:03.803+00:002014-01-18T13:30:03.803+00:00Yes, writers need big handbags.

I love the ideas about what to put in notebooks, and the sound of that handmade one!Sue Purkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084528571944803477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-70759066592297837472014-01-18T12:43:59.475+00:002014-01-18T12:43:59.475+00:00I like your mention of those partly filled noteboo...I like your mention of those partly filled notebooks. as I now feel less guilty about the ones I've begun but have not - for some reason - concluded. (In accounts of writers lives & studies & blah blah, the piles of notebooks are always "full", aren't they? Or are just assumed to be?) And some do seem almost too beautiful to sully with ideas that - one fears - may so easily go wrong and become dull muddled blotches or - worse - everyday to-do lists, though one could pretend they are poems.<br /><br />I never go out without a small pocket notebook, but as I have large handwriting, I need the space of large pages once I get going. <br /><br />Well, now we could get on to the subject of good handbags for writers . . . yes, seriously! A clutch? I don't think so!<br />Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-86597001873419268912014-01-18T09:25:05.703+00:002014-01-18T09:25:05.703+00:00Sounds like a fun challenge!

Oh, and 2 pens, because one might run out ... (This happened to me once and I had to try to remember all my train inspirations - nightmare!)Joan Lennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763862159032836768noreply@blogger.com
