I started dating my notebook

My writing always gets ugly when I have a surge of ideas.

The squiggles, flicks and tails extend further.

But I don’t care.

This notebook will not be displayed anywhere.

I used to care greatly for making my notebooks look nice.

Ordered, pretty bullets, beautiful handwriting.

No longer.

Because I spotted the correlation years ago.

The more I wrote by hand, the more I sketched, doodled, canoodled and poodled...

In my notebook...

The more creative I became.

There’s something about the motion of scribbling, the tactility of nib on paper, and the filling up of real paper real estate that gets the juices flowing.

Sure, typing on a screen creates momentum too.

But that’s time my eyes are spent straining.

These days, I aim to spend more time with pen and paper.

It gives me something to do on benches when out on my daily walks.

I spend at least thirty minutes a day on a hot date with my notebook.

My goal is to fill many notebooks per year.

Make them ugly.

Fill them up.

Doodle like an artistic chimp in heat.

Go hog wild.

The wilder, the more I fill, the more creatively consistent I become.

If you’d like to couple this creative excitement with high writing impact...

You might like my Online Writing Alchemy course.

Do NOT invest in this course if you don’t plan to write at least a little daily.

Because this course only works for those willing to put in consistent effort and to publish frequently.

When you do, and you know what actually works to keep people HOOKED on your words (based on years of my experience), you’ll be able to grow what’s becoming one of the most vital assets of this age:

Your online audience.
