This video has been making the rounds on Facebook and I just love it! Some notebooks and pens make a cameo appearance.
Sometimes, a notebook is only as good as what you write in it with. A notebook can have the best paper in the world, but it still won’t be enjoyable to use with a crappy pen. Over the years, I’ve tried many different pens, but I’ve finally narrowed my choices down to a few favorites, [...]
How about that: Battlestar Galactica notebooks. Not sure what’s up with that angled corner! But a cool gift for your favorite sci-fi geek! (I watched the original version back in the ’70s, but not the more recent series, so I’m not enough of a sci-fi geek myself to know which incarnation these refer to!) [...]
This week’s addict emailed me a hot tip: I just got home from a recent trip to Canada. I am not sure if you know this but there’s a store there called Dollarama and they sell moleskine-like notebooks for $2. They are a good alternative to the real thing and a LOT cheaper! She also [...]

They are not claiming that the mere addition of ink to the pages causes all [...]
This week’s addict displays a very tidy shelf of notebooks on his Flickr page: That turquoise pen is a nice bonus too! See original image at Journals, Moleskines, Notebooks on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
Here’s a writer who is an enthusiastic advocate for using a pocket notebook, in his case, a Paperblanks. What I’m advocating is having a small notebook (and a mini-pen — those things don’t break when you sit on them, and can fit in a front jeans pocket) ready with you so you can be ready [...]
Don’t you love the cover of this book? How could that not make a notebook fan want to read it! It certainly sucked me in, and the publisher was kind enough to send me a review copy.
