I just loved notebooks so much I would often want a new one just for the feel of it, whether or not I really needed any more space to write things down. I was always looking for one that would be a little closer to being THE PERFECT NOTEBOOK, my definition of which shifted over time.

Madame X, “My Open Wallet: On Keeping A Lot Of Notebooks” (via nikography)

I used to do that too. I settled on Moleskines for a while, but they were too nice and often too small or bulky. I needed something spacious that would lie flat on the table, not a pretty toy so everyone in the cafe knew I was an artistic genius (that is what my Mac is for). I’ve found the perfect notebook for writing my scripts and other prose at tables and desks. It’s a spiral notebook from a Japanese company called Maruman. I can’t find it in their catalog but I’ll take a picture for you.
