Notes


Using notebooks is the perfect way to remember your thoughts. Get inspired by the famous author Paul Auster (the husband of Siri Hustvedt starring Stella No. 2). 
He explains his writing habits right here

"I do have a few unusual writing habits—I'm a dinosaur now. I write everything by hand and type it up on an old manual typewriter, an Olympia 1961 ... I've never been able to compose on a keyboard. I need a pen or a pencil in my hand, feel that it's a very physical activity. When I write, words are literally coming out of my body." Paul Auster

Furthermore these notebooks are so beautiful you almost can't get enough. 
Get started here & here.
