And thus began my search for a good notebook.
It wasn't until after college, after one of my professors (my poetry professor to be exact) said something about his that I really got back into the search.
And, after many notebooks (most of them less than half full) did I commit.
Meet Madeleine.
I feel you should know that I stole the idea of naming her from a character I wrote for my last novel.
Anyway, she's named after my favorite author, Madeleine L'Engle.
For NaNoWriMo I made a rule that if she didn't come with me, I didn't go (read: I carried her EVERYWHERE). She came on dates, to work, dancing, institute, church. You name it, she came. I organized her with color coordinated tabs. But, while I love her, I must admit, she's heavy.
I found myself limited by where she would fit.
Then... about a month ago, I discovered Evernote had come to Android.
And I seriously celebrated. Like geeked out over the app to the point where I think i've recommended it to people before I really tried it.
But now that I have, I'm pretty sure I'm in love. This is long term baby. I love that it automatically syncs. I love that I can access it from the internet on my computer or any computer really.
I have written more and felt more inspired since I got evernote than I think I ever have in the past. I love that I can snap pictures of things I've written on paper.
It is wonderful. I write most of my blog ideas in a note and then flesh it out whenever I have a minute.
Seriously, if you are any kind of creative, or if you need a notes app, I highly recommend this one.
I also recommend good old fashioned note books (your brain works differently on paper. Real paper). And if you feel like naming them after your favorite author, hey, I won't judge.
