Notebook Addict of the Week: Penny

This week we have another addict spotted at Sharing Our Notebooks. Penny Kittle is an author and teacher, and she keeps a nice collection of notebooks neatly stashed in a bookshelf:
Notebooks and Guitar

Penny says:

“I spent an hour in my chair by the window this morning working in my writer’s notebook. It is a regular routine of mine, and it helps me work out lots of thinking so that I can write better. In the bookshelves behind the desk in my office are stacks of notebooks from the past. You can see them next to my guitar in this photograph. You can also see how my notebooks have changed over time. I used to always use a spiral bound notebook (bottom shelf) and now I almost always have a black cover, lined-paper-inside notebook. One notebook lasts about 3-4 months, so there are even older notebooks in other places in my house. I remember writing in one of them as a 12-year-old–when I wrote mostly about boys and basketball.”

I’m fascinated that the notebooks are all black and the spines of the books are also all black… and so is the guitar! I wonder if there are things of other colors elsewhere…
