Just you, a notebook, something pleasing to write with, and the tempest in your brain.
You know that feeling when the words, characters, and stories are piling up and you want to release them from your skull but you don’t have a laptop, or if you do, it needs charging and there are no electrical outlets at your kid’s sports practice, and your kid will freak out if you don’t stand on the field or in the lobby waiting for them to finish up, and it’s not like you could write there, anyway, because too many people and also it’s probably raining? Plus there’s the analysis paralysis of WHERE SHOULD I WRITE THIS, MS Word or Google Docs or Scrivener, and what if the idea sucks or what if the magic cloud that holds all the world’s data, including yours, goes poof after an unexpected coronal mass ejection?
I have THE solution: a new notebook from the SGA Books line of Notebooks for Creative Souls. Two hundred (200) lined white pages, waiting for you to scratch out the ideas before they leave your consciousness forever. (And they will.) Our notebooks don’t require batteries or electrical outlets or Wi-Fi and are impervious to disruptions in the earth’s geomagnetic field. And they’re a great size—7.44” x 9.7”—so they fit into backpacks, purses, messenger bags, even the reusable shopping bag you use for the Tupperware of orange slices for your kid’s soccer team.
Write your story, your notes, your snippets of character dialogue by hand. Worry about the word processor later. Save your amazing ideas from fading into stardust by capturing them on actual paper.
♥ Grab a couple, just in case. For the car, the office, your nightstand—be prepared when- and wherever inspiration strikes. ♥
