Yes, I still use my faithful notebooks, since I am not always near a computer, and they're a great way of seeing how far you've come on your personal writing journey. That notebook is a cute one!

I don't need to worry about where I'll put a file on the computer, what I'll call it, whether I'm making a quick text note or if I should send an email or type it into a Word document or an address book program - I just scribble it down on the notepad and find it a proper home later. I also use the notebook for taking notes at interviews (which I immediately type up when I return home). The notebook is always there, never runs out of batteries, and has a built-in history function :) I developed the habit, in my previous life as a programmer (and it works great for a writer, too!) of keeping a notebook right next to my computer, ready for anything I might need to scribble down.

I keep notes, story ideas and whatever random stuff comes up in a real, live physical notebook. I also write my first drafts of my stories on paper (*gasp*!). Oh yes.

I don't write much longhand because my hands cramp, but I use them for jotting, dreaming, pasting pics and thinking on paper. I justify skiving in front of the TV by recording significant bits from movies I watch, etc. I must drag myself away from hardcover journal books in the store! Right now my MAIN notebook is a hardcover with a Thoreau quote on the front. It was a gift from my last boss, who wanted me to jump on the high-powered corporate rat-wheel again, but graciously sent me on with her blessing when I explained why I wanted a simple and low-stress day job...to support my writing. What a woman! Ditto, Ditto…I LOVE notebooks. I don’t write much longhand because my hands cramp, but I use them for jotting, dreaming, pasting pics and thinking on paper.

That's the only notebook I trust with my fiction ideas. I am so tough on notebooks and frequently loose covers or sheet fall out and blow into the abyss...the moleskins are still together and my scraps of paper are safely tucked in! Oh and zebra pens!

I do nearly all my writing by hand first...including my NaNoWriMo (up until about 25k, when I had less than a week left.) I'm obsessed with my notebooks; they have to be the same kind of notebook with the same covers and 24-lines. I get them at Staples, and everytime I'm there I buy a couple more, just to keep them in stock. I use them for everything--quotes, stories, journals, even taking notes in school. School is actually the main reason I rely so much on paper. Except for lunch (which is where I am right now) I have no computer access at all during the school day. Writing in a notebook is easier.
