I got a Moleskine

Digg Muti Delicious

Jeepers. One post in and the mini writer’s block seems to have van­ished. Awesome! :) Anyways, the topic at hand…

I got a Moleskine. I’ve heard people rav­ing about these for ages and thought I’d do some research and maybe get one. The fact that they look awe­some def­in­itely played a role in this as well. When I saw them on dis­play at the shops earlier today, I knew the time was right.

For those who don’t know, a Moleskine is a type of diary/​journal/​notebook/​creative writ­ing or draw­ing book that is said to allude to the journ­als writ­ten in by such cre­at­ives and his­tory shapers as Hemmingway, Picasso and van Gogh. According to the Moleskine web­site, the journ­als were pro­duced by a small book­binder in Paris for over a cen­tury and were sup­plied to sta­tion­ary shops, fre­quen­ted by cre­at­ively avant-​​garde indi­vidu­als of the time (the full his­tory can be found here and is sup­plied in the back of your moleskine).

The ques­tion now is, what to write in it? Time to get cre­at­ive. :)

    I own a Moleskine and can say that these things are amaz­ing at get­ting cre­at­ive with your writ­ing. They’re also a great way to store thoughts and ideas that can later flour­ish into full blog posts, or in my case, an entire novel! Glad you like your Moleskine (and good col­our choice too!) Enjoy it!
