Recently, I bought a new notebook. A non-electronic, old fashion notebook. It is much cheaper to buy such a notebook. I liked my purchase very much. The cover of this notebook I speak of is very inviting and the blank pages with borders printed on heavy smooth paper was very nice to write on. The border was also very cute.
I blog because I enjoy reading my own writing. I hope other enjoys reading my writing as well.
I enjoy writing with my own hands because I can proof read better and I write less.
Lately, I find that when I type on my electronic touch screen device that I incorrect type a word sometimes. For example, while typing this entry, I typed "old" instead of "own". I have now corrected this myself. Other times, I find autocorrect interrupts my writing.
When you write with a pen and a paper. There is just you and the lines you make. I also like how I can easily draw and doodle freely. I could also flip to the middle of the book and start writing there.
Also whatever I write, draw or paste onto my notebook, it's truly private, personal, offline and tangible. What I post online, will always be flat. When you touch it, it's always a flat screen. It might be covered by oily fingers but a flat screen is a flat screen.
Lastly, I also don't have to worry about my notebook running out of battery.
I guess I prefer a non-electronic medium more for original work.
My old fashion notebook cannot provide me with any information. It's blank, an electronic notebook on the other hand can easily get you to a bunch of information and you end up not writing at all.
