I’ve just been given my first Moleskine notebook (by my friend TS , who says I never mention her in my Blog posts!) and I must say it’s every bit as good as the adverts / general consensus seems to indicate.. . .
‘the legendary notebook of Van Gogh, Chatwin, Hemingway, Matisse and Céline’
. . .as the blurb goes.
Check out the excellent Moleskine websites here >> and here >> – it’s amazing the range of product they produce and what people do with them around the world!
However, I am now suffering from ‘the fear of blank canvas’ feeling, so well known by artists throughout time. What should I use my shiny new notebook for? I have a feeling it should be something more monumentous that a mere shopping list repository – I do have a secret project in mind, so maybe this should be recorded and documented?
Who knows, stay tuned and I’ll post up what happens. . .
Yay! That’s wonderful. Can’t wait to read about what you’ll be writing on your Moleskine.
Me, too. I got pen-tied (as in tongue-tied? lol) when I first got my Moleskine. But gradually I just wrote whatever came into my head that I think was worth writing.
Enjoy your notebook!
Dear Lyn
Thanks so much for the kind comment – what did you end up doing with yours!? C
You’re welcome, Clive. It’s nice to know so many people are becoming moleskine enthusiasts.
Initially, I wanted to fill up my ‘skine with artist stuff and all that but I’m severely lacking in that department. LOL. So, I ended up writing random thoughts, things that inspire me, and ideas that hit me just when I’m about to drift off to sleep. And now that you mentioned it, project documentation on a moleskine sounds like a really great idea. :)
