My notebooks are mostly three ring binders and old composition books. I jot down a lot and it's easiest and cheapest for me to transfer most of my notes into one of many cheap binders that I keep around just for that purpose. I also carry a pocket-sized notepad or index cards around with me so that I can jot down notes on the fly.

Thanks, and welcome back. I liked your point on remembering smaller things. I have to jot down items to pick up the grocery store and things I need to do or I'd forget them, too. I can't ever take it for granted that I'll remember anything anymore.

Bruce, I use my notebooks in exactly the same way. After years of drifting in the stationery world, I settle on the Moleskine as my notebook of choice.

I like your point on,...
writing things down to remember.
This is a must!!! Especially if you want to keep your thoughts in order. And this isn't the case only in writing a book or poem, but also when you have even smaller writing tasks.
Keep writing, keep getting inspired

Thank you much. I remember when I was a writer in the army. After a while things got so routine I printed up pages of stock notes so that when I was in a rush I could literally cut and paste a quick citation around a name, rank, and job title. It was my Army Writer's Notebook and shared a treasured space with my CMA file.

Thanks for dropping by, and welcome to Blogit. I hope you'll enjoy your time here. I know you enjoyed your time in Italy. I've always wanted to go back to Europe. There was so much I didn't get to see, including Italy. Maybe someday.
