sofiaviolet: a laptop, a notebook, and lots of pencils (writing)

My notebook is falling apart, you guys. :(

I mean, I've been carrying it around since last March. It's a 5-subject composition book, and I tend to write pretty small. Lots of pages. Lots of words. It survived my MCR trip last May (without getting barfed on, which is more than I can say for my pants), and I've brought it with me almost everywhere.

The front cover is starting to tear away from the binding, and the entire cover/binding is separating from the pages. I need to repair it somehow. I think the answer is... duct tape. It usually works. Or I can ask at work, since someone there has probably done a wee bit of conservation on something.

One of the reasons I love writing in notebooks is that I can ignore my inner editor. I have to keep going - damn the plot holes and the continuity fail - or else pick a different scene to start writing. I do more writing on my computer, but sometimes I just need a notebook. If I'm feeling distractable, especially.

Of course, I look for all sorts of ways to make myself write. Unfortunately, I can't participate in [community profile] kink_bingo because I don't write fanfic, but I am going to use their list as a way of prompting myself. Writing a random sex scene is a good way to get in my daily words, and sometimes it's helpful with regards to characterization.

If you post cool content but you didn't have me friended on LJ, I set up a feed on DW (since I was only seeing your public posts anyway) and defriended you on LJ. I'm trying to centralize myself on Dreamwidth as much as possible. I won't abandon my LJ-based friends, but if I was just a follower, then whatever.

Someone is setting off fireworks, and has been every night since Saturday. It's annoying and it really upsets my upstairs neighbor's dog. >:(
