The Right Way to Write
I have friends who own a dozen pretty notebooks they’ve never written in because a pretty notebook should be used for something special, but they write like a house on fire in a college-ruled spiral notebook. I know people who can only work on computer. There are people out there who can only write at a typewriter. I know persons of amazing and enviable focus who can write anywhere, on anything, no matter what is happening around them. Unsurprisingly, these persons write a lot more than I do. But I can write in pretty notebooks and leather-bound journals that shout “adventure!” I write in composition books and spiral notebooks and legal pads, on index cards and mirrors and windows… It’s a wonderful eclecticism, but there’s a slight problem. Just a tiny catch–
