» In Pursuit of the Perfect Notebook

Wendy Thomas recently wrote an article on the blog Live to Write – Write to Live about her search for the perfect notebook. She, (like someone I know QUITE well,) claims to be obsessive about the type of notebook she chooses to carry. In her article, she discusses at her preferences for binding style, durability, aesthetics, paper, line width, and price – to which she says; “there is simply no price too high if a notebook is perfect.”

Wendy, I can’t agree more. I am always more productive with the right tool in hand.

Live to Write, Write to Live is a networking group focusing on the business of writing. Most of the contributing writers live in or near New Hampshire. “Our key goal is to help ourselves and each other plan better, market better and sell our work. We are passionate about writing; we live to write

Rhodia, Clairefontaine, Sokkia and soon to be released BlacknRed small notebooks/tablets are my paper tools of choice. Enjoying looking back through your blog. Will have to check out the Live to Write – Write to Live group. Thanks.

Great info! I am always looking for the “perfect” notebook. I find features I love in different notebooks, but never all of them in the same one! :)
