Have You Ever Kept a Diary?

I’ve tried before, but it’s never really worked for me.

But I have this thing about notebooks. I have several. Somehow those blank, unscribbled-on pages make me want to write on them. Do you know the feeling?

In the photo you can see my latest book. It was given to me as a Christmas present. And it’s already in use!

I’ve started collecting quotations and snippets of text. But only when I find something worth saving.

Dan Pink uses a book to write a night line. While Austin Kleon uses one as a commonplace book for quotations he reads or lines he hears.

What about you? Do you love notebooks, too? And if so, what do you use them for?
