Ah! I completely agree! I’ve always liked writing on cheap paper. Those fancy notebooks always make me feel guilty about plastering half-baked ideas on them... . Also, great comment on the page constraints! I’ve noticed that I tend to write shorter works when I draft them on my phone, rather than on large notebooks or on my computer.

When Kerouac was writing "Mexico City Blues" he limited his nine-lengths to the pocket notebook he carried. I carry a ruled Moleskine Reporter's Notebook, which has a hard cover and opens vertically like a steno notebook. I also use "Artist's Loft" brand journals which look and feel fancy but actually only cost $5. I also love cheap steno notebooks (for speed writing) and $1 black-covered Composition Books... College Ruled. I write with either a black Pilot G2, 10 mm, or a Palomino Blackwing 602 pencil. Using the Blackwing with the Moleskine is makes me a bit of a Hipster poseur, but, hey, it makes me happy. I've been thinking of getting into fountain pens, but I'm kind of afraid to cross that line. I mean, what's next? Goose quills and parchment?

I have the opposite opinion of Moleskine's. Using them gives me a sense that what I'm writing is important and valuable

I sometimes wonder about using a Dictaphone. I saw some 30 years ago, I don't know whether they still sell them. More difficult to read, but much easier to "write" ?

I think you can still buy dictaphones, but with the voice memo app on your phone there’s no need

Good segment. I enjoy your videos.

I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I don't lie to use fancy stuff to write because I feel that I only can use that stuff if I ave a great idea to wirte and it needs to be very good. If I use cheap stuff I just doesn't care and wirte everything.

Lol, I have a collection of fancy blank journals that I don't write in for exactly the same reason ie they are works of art. I compromise though, I got my other half to sew a cloth journal cover that takes plain spirax A5 notebooks

That's a great upcycling hack worthy of a true poet

Moleskine? nahhhh, my favourite is wordpad as I can delete easier, Ill write on used napkins, notebook (the cheaper the better), record it on my phone. Do what you want, what is convenient, hold on, you're saying all this, so why do I type it. Tried writing in a nice notebook, made me feel like a wanker, you know, like Hemminghway. Nice dog.
