kicking ass and taking notes, la vie graphite, tiger pens blog

Oh how I loved this post by La Vie Graphite: re-ground. I guess I felt a kinship because I have recently discovered the joys of retreat, although not to the extent outlined in this post. I especially loved the final photo of fountain pen at rest in the journal. Well worth reading.

This post on Tiger Pens Blog got me thinking. When I was in university no one had a laptop with them, actually most people didn’t even have them in their rooms. (Yes, I’m old.) We had to go to the computer lab to type up notes or print papers etc. So I can imagine how distracting it would be to have 80 people typing during a lecture. And of course I’m a big believer in the connection between handwriting and the brain and actually learning better through writing. But…in my professional capacity I can type much faster than I can write so if I have to take notes or minutes at work I will take my laptop with me. So I can see the appeal of a laptop in a classroom setting. What do you think? Interesting debate.

And finally, jumping off the Tiger Pens Blog, I found 6 Ways To Combine Chaos and Order in One Notebook from kickingassandtakingnotes.com (great name!). JD shows how to manage all of the information traditionally dumped into your notebook, from to do lists to emotional rantings. I like the ideas and use some of them myself. This is why I have more than one notebook on the go at one time. I will definitely be adding this blog to my blogroll.

Until next post, happy writing!

la vie graphite, leigh reyes my life as a verb, letter writers alliance

Lovely post on La Vie Graphite about remembering to interrupt ourselves every once in awhile, to reconnect with things that make you happy and feed your creativity. Sometimes it’s impossible to find time to journal. But it’s so important we need to fit it in, even in a doctor’s office. Beautiful pictures as well. Glad to see him back on the web.

Leigh Reyes on My Life as a Verb explores Notebook Covers and the reasons we seem to want to cover what is already covered with more covering. Great photos.

I really love these Handmade Doily Valentines from Letter Writers Alliance. I doubt they would go through the mail but could be placed inside bigger envelopes. What a lovely surprise for your Valentine. Maybe next year!

just sow and sew, la vie graphite, pen loops

I love pen loops and, like Marlyn at Just Sow and Sew, hate journals that do not have them. So she made her own and gives us instructions in this post. Fantastic!

All of her posts are great, but I love ihanna’s Endpapers, Frogs and a Pocket post. The journal she’s adding endpapers to is beautiful.

As I contemplate my upcoming holiday, I found this post on La Vie Graphite interesting, in that he draws a comparison between the steps we take in our “workaday trudges” and the steps we take when we are walking for pleasure on a holiday. Beautiful words and pictures. And I think I spy a disc-bound notebook next to his typewriter!
