I have been longing for the perfect little diary to take with me. I use a moleskine style notebook. Now, if I can only find the perfect pen to write on it …
Not long ago, I attended a conference where one of the vendors gave me a classic Moleskine style notebook. Since I tend to write large journals, I did not use it immediately. But I now find it to be the perfect writer’s notebook.
Austin explained that he always carries a notebook with him, writing out what he read and quick ideas for the quotation. Then every morning he wrote five to seven pages in a larger notebook. He found the topics of his blog posts, social media and newsletters in the notebooks of both writers.
I like the small / large laptop combination. Inspired by his method, I opened my moleskine pocket notebook and started using it throughout the day to write a quote for what I read and capture ideas for blog posts. I am in love.
Moleskine-style notebooks are the perfect writer’s notebook for seven reasons:
It’s really small enough to fit in the back pocket.
very light
These pages can be opened, but the structure is sturdy, so you don’t have to risk tearing them off.
It has an elastic band marking where you leave. Of course, you may not need it, but it looks cool.
It provides an internal expandable pocket inside the back cover where you can put souvenirs, such as a newspaper with a newspaper or evocative photos that catch your attention.
Soft to the touch.
Every detail is well thought out until the rounded corners seem to stroke the inside of your palm.
This is not a periodical that writes lengthy morning pages, philosophical reasoning, or full stories. This is a real writer’s notebook, designed to take notes quickly anytime, anywhere, and this is exactly how past artists used it.
The maker of moleskine-style notebooks includes pages in eight languages in its expandable pocket. The title is “Culture, Imagination, Memory, Travel, Personal Identity”.
It was originally produced in France by a binder and used by artists and writers such as Van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway. (I admit that this pedigree made me prefer moleskine notebooks on top of other pocket diaries.)
Travel writer Bruce Chatwin loves it. It was he who gave the small black notebook a “moleskine” name. When he discovered that the manufacturer went out of business in 1986, he went to every fixed store in Paris and bought all the remaining inventory. He then wrote about its demise in his book Song.
A Milanese publisher brought this perfect little writer’s laptop back to life in 1997 and officially named it “moleskine”.
You may be wondering what “moleskine” means. Me too. I think it comes from mole skin. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, moles are a “sturdy and durable cotton fabric with short, soft fluff on one side.” see? I’m not kidding when I say it feels soft to the touch.
There is an intermittent love story in my diary. I haven’t touched the diary from daily diary to several months. Sometimes my journal becomes such a topic and I can’t find anything later. Other times, I save up to five journals at a time:
About the writer’s notebook for the memoirs I’m writing, another journal containing observations that might be useful for future articles, citations and notes about what I’m reading, and so on. Having so many parallel notebooks is a bit clumsy.
