Notebook - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 18th Feb 08 at 2:08am
I've decided that I'm going to start using a notebook. I always get really good ideas for movies, or books, or even just to write about generally. But I never write them down.

Also, last night I had an extremely vivid dream, but can't remember the most important part of it. If I had written down about the dream when I had woken up this morning, I would not be trying to remember what had happened right now.

Does anyone else keep a journal of dreams, or write in a notebook, or anything like that? What do you write about?

Good idea, i'm not too creative like so... I wouldn't use a notebook for those purposes, maybe to jot down a design idea or logo for a site, but that's about it.

I've always enjoyed writing on my own time about whatever interests me, as a way to express emotion, and just talk about things that I think about at least somewhat often.

I suppose the reason I don't write more often is because I've been so turned off to the idea by schools; from grade 6 through grade 8 I'd been forced to write Personal Journal entries every night for English class, and I grew to despise writing quite a bit for a while. {Unsure}

I'm a writer. Of course I use a notebook. Multiple, in fact...

I have a black one that has most, if not all, my poetry in it.

I have a light green one that has the notes, songs, and script for the musical I have been working on in it.

I have a three subject one that has all the notes and to-do lists for my programming, separated by project.

I have a legal pad that my friends call the Improv Bible, because it has everything you could ever possibly want to know about our improv troupe written in it. I'm famous for answering questions by throwing the pad at people, and saying 'look it up'. ^_^

I iz teh lit geek! ^_^

I think of crazy things all the time. I don't write down my ides, but I do forget them. They all usually come back to me at random times.

The only time I write down ideas is concepts for designs. I have on sitting in front of my right now actually {Tongue Out}

I usually type my ideas or stories on my computer. I've tried using a notebook, but for some reason I can never think of how to start my short stories when I do. Ideas seem to come to me a lot easier by typing.
