A Notebook

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a writer at heart. It's my passion, it's what I'm good at.  I've made my friends cry, laugh, and smile from my writing. I've determined, that's what I want from my writing. I like seeing people react to it.

Anyways, as a writer, I always keep something with me. If I ever come up with a verse for a poem, or an idea I want to write about, I have to write about right then and there, so I don't forget. So I carry a notebook. It's really old looking; it's about to fall apart. And nobody touches it without my permission. Because it's mine, and it has my words in it. But a lot of the poems I post here I've written in my notebook too.

It's an old decorated one I made years ago. I started carrying it around for extra paper, and ended up writing poems in it. So yeah, it's really special now.

But I think all writers should. Its a good thing to carry around, if you ever have any idea for something, anything, that involves writing, you should keep it all in one place. Because if it's a great idea, you don't want to lose it.

I guess I'll include here that I am a little... OCD. I'm always afraid that something will happen to my house while I'm gone, and I'll lose all my stuff. Don't ask, just roll with it. So I always carry the things that are the most important to me around. This includes my notebook, my key chain (which has my flash drive on it), my headphones, phone, iPod, wallet, and all the bracelets I make. I can't go anywhere without all these, because if I lose them, well...KABOOM! (not really, but you know..)

Anyways... to all writers: carry a notebook with you wherever you go. Might sound dumb, but all those great ideas you come up with, and then forget later, you'll remember them :)
