My Favorite Analog Notebooks and Notepads
I’m a professional writer. This is what I work in pretty much every day.
Yesterday, I shared my favorite writing utensils. Today, I’d like to share my favorite notebooks and paper products with you.
I’m a seriously analog girl. I really like to write on paper. I use a computer for blogging and writing novels, of course, but for taking notes, planning, and just getting lost in doodling?
Paper, all the way.
My favorite notebooks either have blank pages or faint dot grid. I’m not big on lined paper. I like paper that feels nice — smooth, but with a little tooth to it. Oddly, I appreciate both thick paper that nothing will bleed through, and very thin paper that feels used.
I know that’s weird — feels used. But I like when my notebooks have that texture of paper that’s been flipped through. Like it’s meant to be used. Not too precious.
Here are my favorites.
My Go To Cheap Notebook
I love a composition book. I pick them up at Wal-Mart in August, during the back-to-school sales, and I always have a box of them around. But — they’re lined. And lined paper isn’t my favorite. And they don’t lay flat enough, either.
