Yes, but by the end it's just schizophrenic hate mail towards myself and doodles of animal-headed people.

I keep one in my car, always, and a smaller one in my bag that I punctuate with book darts.

I'm just starting to use some and carry some around.

I'm using a couple for non-fictions books I'm reading to take my own notes. Especially for history books. If there is something in the text that I don't understand due too a lack of context, I'll go look it up on a wiki or something and write down what I find to come to terms with what is being talked about.

Otherwise just write down thoughts, ideas, draw, etc.

Ive always wanted a scrap book that ends up looking like the ones in OPs pic

I often get a moleskine as a gift every couple of years but I never know what to put in it.

tried a journal writing but felt awkward as fuck and thought people would read it so i ripped out the pages and burned them. I now use the book to compile notes from my music lessons, even though I probably really should be using a book with proper music staves

Now im convincing myself that i need another fresh moleskine but this time blank pages. lol

Well shit, let's see...

- I got a small formal journal I carry wherever I can in which I put musings, epiphanies, story ideas, and what-not.

- I have a regular composition notebook in which I vomit some shitty first drafts, as well as outlines and notes.

- There is another journal—not even a journal, but a fucking HP technical support notepad—which I've used for outlining and notes but also for a big list of the stories and projects I'm working on arranged by priority. Oh, and my budget for the month (stuck in on post-its now). The latter two things are all I flip open the notebook for.

- I have a binder on my nightstand for writing down dreams that are interesting or inspiring.

- Next to that I have another binder that I call my "feels" notebook. It's where I write stuff I really, really, don't want to share with anybody and where I go to vent if I feel the need (love, stress, and things that would come off as pervy without context).

There are good open-source, free Notebook alternatives to Open Note. Evernote is the most popular, I use Silvernote on my Windows machines, which is really simple and intuitive to use and nixNote on my Debian box. There is also outline (outline.ws) for the Mac/iPad crowd (never touched a Mac so I dunno how good it is).

Another good tool for the /lit/ crowd is CrocDoc which is a pdf annotator.

I think I'll start a notebook of thoughts and jargon. Since I was a child, I've had this awful habit of "hobby hopping". I would obsess over one thing for a span of two days to maybe even a month if it was interesting enough. One week I'd be obsessing over archery, reading about it and looking at bows I'd never be able to buy. I even had a journal at one point that I filled about two pages worth and then dropped a couple days later. I'm hoping I can keep a notebook now to rid myself of this awful habit by just lightheartedly recording my thoughts of whatever hobby I'm craving next.

What do you guys put in these? How do you organise them? Whenever I have a notebook, I put something I need to remember down, but then my next thought it completely unrelated and I don't know whether to carry on on the same page or start a new one. Fucking annoying.

I don't organise them, they are for notes.

[Anonymous No.3727116]

I just recently tried and started writing poetry, and obtained a notebook for it. It is actually quite filled at this time, though I'm not entirely satisfied with the stuff I wrote.

I also write short stories and other work of fiction, but I mostly keep them on my computer, since I'm too scared someone might find them and declares me as insane.

Are your friends really so nosy that they'd snoop around your journal, or are you just being paranoid?

i am paranoid

[Anonymous No.3727183]

Yes... although it's usually a steno-pad I carry in my coat pocket. I also use a notepad app on my phone because it's more convenient and saves the environment. Also, I can put passwords on the phone's articles that no one will ever break.

I believe I inherited journaling from my mother. She has drawers full of journals, which are all filled to the brim with text.

this shit looks cool but every time i go to use a program like this i start getting irrationally paranoid that in 10years i won't be able to read my notes because OSes will be radically different and whatever program i used won't be useable anymore etc etc etc.

godammit, why can't I have interesting handwriting like OP?

I still write like the way the examples taught us in grade school.

[Anonymous No.3727748]

I . . . suppose I *would* have a notebook if I weren't so used to using loose sheets of printer paper. I would write down story ideas, character outlines,doodles, lists of things I wanted to buy or do etc. Not very organized, I would keep everything in a clipboard. Over time I would continually condense the filled up pages and rewrite them on fewer sheets or type them out, and throw away everything else. I just did this two nights ago, I went from 8 pages of slop to 2. The issue I have had with notebooks is that I can't tear things out neatly, and when you do tear out enough pages the journal doesn't sit flat anymore.

I would like a system for writing in code. I have no expectation of privacy.

I keep my notes on my computer in an encrypted file. I don't write that many journal entries and right now there isn't really anything sensitive in it, but it feels good knowing that the stuff in there is almost as safe as what's in my head.
