I am a notebook addict. I do realise that. I am constantly looking for the most amazing notebook, the one that will encourage me to write, that would make writing easier and would inspire me every day.
Obviously we don’t get that from a notebook - that comes from within ourselves, but, as writers, sometimes we have to trick ourselves to write. And one of the ways I trick myself is by having lovely notebooks. Plus they’re nice to look at and to be surrounded by them is just bliss.
One of my favourite notebooks is the Leuchtturm 1917 B5 Softcover. I just love the design and aim to get one in every colour as time goes on.
So what is it about a notebook that makes me want to write in this one, rather than, say, a cheaper alternative.
It’s not just the colours. It’s the size, the way it sits on my desk when open alongside the smoothness of the paper. These notebooks just make me want to write.
But let me explain this more visually - take a look at my video below where I give a short review, explain the features of the notebook and share how I use mine for writing.
