Notebooks

Posted February 23, 2010. Tagged with: notebooks silly nerd

When I don’t have anything important to do I usually sit in my comfy chair thinking about things that even a genius can’t comprehend. This is not one of those thoughts.

Ok, so notebooks. Not so much a review or an insight into my creative process but a short explanation to why I use notebooks with graphed paper.

• Notebooks with ruled paper are great for writing but I feel like I am destroying the lines and rules by sketching on them.
• Notebooks with plain paper: freedom. But it comes with a price. I am at a loss for words every time I see a blank paper. It’s too much freedom for me.
• Notebooks with graphed paper. Aah. A nice grid and an unbeatable system. Works well with both writing and sketching; You’ll never break it’s lines or rules.

Maybe I am just trying to be too smart and obey a grid and system instead of being creative and going berserk on a blank piece of paper. Just maybe.

And so was the silence of February broken by a silly post about notebooks.
