I love hearing from notebook addicts with lots of photos and details about how their notebooks are used. Janey emailed all the below:
I’m from central Scotland and have been writing stories as a hobby since I was four years old. As a kid people would always buy me cute notebooks or sets of fancy pens on my birthday (as a matter of fact, some still do). Now I’ve self-published three novels and my stationery obsession has not waned! I can’t recall how long I’ve been buying them but due to storage issues I’m forced to keep them unceremoniously crammed in a plastic box. Sometimes just taking them out and looking at them cheers me up! The majority of these were purchased in the UK and I usually go for either ruled or graph paper – I can’t write on black pages. Spiral notebooks are not a favourite of mine as the metal always gets twisted eventually and snags on everything. But I do love colour, cute pictures, and a good strong cover! Some are so pretty I can’t bear to write in them yet.The last notebook is a relatively new magnetic notebook from Rekonect. You can take the pages out, put them back in and rearrange them as you pleased. This notebook was started by a Kickstarter campaign that I was proud to back; I believe it is now available to buy via their website.
Great collection! Thank you for sharing, Janey!
