What to put in a writer’s notebook…
- “And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt.” – Sylvia Plath
- Lists of all kinds of things: stuff I need to buy, people I need to talk to; memories that come to me
- Notes to myself
- Emotions – anger, sadness, excitement, wonder
- Memories
- “Every vivid memory holds some essential truth about your vision of the world” – Kim Stafford
- Fragments of life that strike me – why did that happen? That’s weird…
- Drawings
- Photographs, postcards, receipts, messages, notes from friends
- Questions
- Quotations that make me think or that hit home
- Song lyrics
- Secrets
- Crossouts, messy writing, notes in the margin, scratchouts
- Attempts at poetry and playful language
- Writing that I’ve lost interest in
- Book titles I want to read
- Sketches of things to practice descriptive writing
- Things I don’t want to forget to do
- Things people say that seem important or stupid or that I don’t understand
- Books I've read and what I thought about them
- Poems I Love
- Journal Entries about things that have happened to you
- Facebook or Twitter updates
- Life
- "The World isn't easy, but the mind is tenacious. The writing life is all about faith in a fragment." - Kim Stafford
