Wirebound And Composition And Loose

[circlepattern]

Crane notebook? Mind putting a link on for the notebook? I couldn't find it online.

For subjects like gardening journals and personal research projects, I use Crane's composition notebooks. The paper is fountain pen friendly and the books are very inexpensive (in August, they go for 50 cents each).

 

 

CRANE'S? I went to the website, but couldn't find them. Could you post a link please? Thanks

Sorry, I don't buy the books online. I bought a stack of them at Big Lots, a couple of years ago. If you can't find them, Meade makes good ones too. Same price, if you shop just before school starts in August.

For me, it depends on what I'm doing. I don't really care for wire binding in a notebook that travels in a bag. The wire always seems to get smashed, and then the notebook gets hard to manage. Also, if I'm ripping out a lot of pages, I don't like how the wires fill up with the remaining part of the pages.

 

A bound notebook is great for something sequential to which i will not be adding or taking away pages. I use bound notebooks for writing my novels. Those are always sequential.

 

However, I prefer a binder for things which will require addition or removal of pages, and in which pages may be rearranged. My outlining and planning for the novels worked best in a binder. My notes for classes also work best in binders. (It helps that I'm cheap: many of my notes for classes were taken on the back sides of old printouts I collected from the computer lab. Even though college is well in my past, I still do this.)

The survey did not provide enough "range" for me.

I generally write in journals – Rhodia webby, Moleskine etc., but my favorite paper is Rodia squares.

Since that is not available in bound books, I punch it and use it in a Levenger circa folder.

I see yet another disk system. I suppose I should add disk-bound and book-style next time. I really wonder how many people prefer the disks.

What novels do you write?

I write science fiction, but I'm not published. It's just something I do for fun and I recently finished my tenth novel.

Most interesting, I write stories for fun too, but on the computer where I type much much faster, I view my writing more as a guideline to imagine my own world and refine it.

Circa ring style. Levenger, staples, etc
