what have you been writing about? have you been slacking off Veeky Forums? confess your sins and share what you have to share
just got this one myself, lost my old journal like 2 months ago and I was so slow to replace it in the hope I'd find it again - it's a bit like losing an old friend
I know this is doesn't really have any basis and is a petty thing, but I always can't help but feel that buying a large, journal-sized, moleskine is a sign that someone's caught up with the idea of being literary more than actually being a writer.
I use those good ol college-ruled black-and-white notebooks.
I only keep a dream journal.
Graph paper is my go to. It's just more versatile. When you need graph paper, you really need graph paper. If you don't need the graph, it doesn't really get in the way.
>i got this killer up inside me
>i can't talk to my mother
>so i talk to my diary
I don't pretend to be a serious writer, really I only write in my journal and that's it
I like the design, the simplicity and the portability
old journal which I lost and wrote like halfway through was similar but not a "name brand"
that's retarded imho since it's so ugly when you write just text on it
dotted notebooks are great too though but my handwriting is so bad I need the lines to guide me
Girlfriend bought me one of these stupid things for my birthday and i took it to a party the other night and this guy fucking drew a picture of himself and signed an obnoxious signature right in the middle of it and now i'm convinced that its cursed to attract the worst kind of attention.
>bringing your journal to a party
why
sometimes my friends and i like to play a game where we draw someone at the party and everyone has to guess who it is
>He doesn't hide his journal beneath a fake board.
If that's supposed to difficult you might suck at drawing
I like this sized moleskine because it is good for shitty notes, and small but durable to some beating.
>he doesn't have a secret wish that someone stumbles upon it and reads it
its not meant to be difficult its meant to be fun
what are some certified thick journals? most of them are minuscule
wow you think?
I like graph paper, and I'll even use an illustration note book because sometimes I like to doodle or get more visual too!
yeah the size is actually great cause it fits in a lot of pockets and i like journals with no lines or anything on the paper so you can have a lil draw if you want or write one word bigger than the others
Not carrying your notebook around with you everywhere.
I just recently started writing a """""""""""journal""""""""" recently, because I am learning a third language, italian. I always felt silly trying to write one, but now I am doing it in italian, which is great, because it will improve/practice my italian and I have some thoughts written down.
I mostly write about the book I am reading or some interesting ideas I have, nothing exceptional. One downside of it is it takes quit a bit of time to write any substantial amount, but its ok.
>recently recently
Why isn't there a good Evernote alternative that isn't cloud based and lets you export notes as simple text files?
What kinda fuckin dweeb really cares about which notebook they use, if it's paper and fits in your pocket it's golden. I've filled up notebooks with just random ramblings and every single one was bought for a dollar at the discount store.
fuck off fag
*Starts jurking off too gay porn*
nice vocab.
If you carry around a notebook with you all day build quality fucking matters
My daily pocket journal is literally the mini composition notebooks from Dollar Tree. Comes in a pack of three.
As long as it's sewn or stapled it'll be fine.
Those moleskine notebooks are pretentious and oligarch as fuck.
Why would you waste so much money into some paper destined to store your shitty ramblings and suicidal thoughts? It's like you're doing it only to pretend to be literary.
see
Imagine having such a disdain for aesthetics that you can't imagine why someone would want a notebook that doesn't look like something a 4th grader would use to practice his long division. Do you buy your jeans at Walmart too 'cause they're "just as good?"
Edgy
Die you tripfag scum
Imagine being so autistic that you have the need to use a name on an anonymous literature forum because you deluded yourself into believing that you are some kind of authority on the board. Do you also think you are an important part of the board culture?
Why aren't you thanking me for giving you the opportunity to filter my posts?
I will thank you after you stop behaving like an entitled diva redditor, drop the tripcode and start posting real quality content.
Raging about the fact that someone has text above their posts constitutes quality content now? Let's talk about notebooks, not the formatting of someone's posts
Same.
>Why would you waste so much money into some paper destined to store your shitty ramblings and suicidal thoughts?
why cheap out on something so personal you're gonna be using a lot for probably over a year?
if shitty college notebooks work for you then fine but what's the problem with someone wanting just a little bit of style and build quality?
I've got one already filled out. Used it off and on between 2011-2017. I think there's only 1 entry from 2015, which was a year I had spent almost entirely drunk.
I'm now on my second journal which is a very similar style to the one in OP's pic except it's a cheap one that's made in China. Don't need anything special. Anyways I'm about 15 pages into it, mostly use it for recording my drinking but occasionally write small passages in it.
I have keeping notes in a .doc file.
I want to put them on paper, because
(1) I lost the original file with notes from 2012-2013 after a problem with the compute (no backup)
(2) I almost lost the 2014-2016 notes because a problem with the flash drive (with backup, but wasn't the last version).
I'm unsure if I'm getting a moleskine or a leuchtturm1917. I also want a decent pen, maybe a pilot metropolitan.
post some 2011 entries
I don't like moleskine because the spine means you can't write close to the middle of the page. Muji's ringbinder notebooks are so much better.
maybe use a moleskine hardcover?
rings tend to get easily damaged if carried around a lot over a long period though
>leuchtturm1917
Great notebooks. About $4 more than molesskines, but much better paper quality, and some cool features like an index and archive stickers
Dec 9, 2011 15:42 (3:42PM) Friday
First day off in a week, I worked for the past 6 days full time. It'll look good on the pay cheque. I've been working for the past 50 days I think, as a *REDACTED* at *REDACTED*. Occasionally I get days on till, which aren't as bad as I imagined, though rushes aren't fun.
(also, I haven't missed a day yet)
*REDACTED NAME* works 3:30-11:30PM today, though they usually leave at around 11:00PM since the work gets done early. I always get morning shifts. 9-5 is the latest I ever got, and that was only the last 2 days. I prefer morning shifts oddly enough.
15:48 (3:58PM) Still Dec 9, 2011
Though I hate even thinking of them, parents are still annoying me. Keeps offering presents, old man said he's going to *REDACTED* and wants to see me before he goes. I said 'Have a nice trip.'
I think he gets the picture now, I don't want anything to do with him. I also want to forget about her too but at least I can deal with mom. The old man I'd rather strangle than hug, I can't take any more of his BS. Memories of him haunt me, they don't comfort me.
>That's all I wrote for that day
I know, sounds cringy, but the fact of the matter is that I'm still haunted by memories of him. Shouldn't be much longer before he's dead, and I will feel much relief in that I will never have to see or hear him ever again. I've since broken things off with mom as well. I don't speak to or see either of them. 100% cut off. So although this entry was from almost 6 years ago, not much has changed in terms of familial relations. I seriously envy those who have a good relationship with their parents, and consistently the biggest tear-jerkers for me in films are when fathers show great pride/love/affection to their children. Like in 300 when the father goes berserk after seeing his son, whom he was very proud of, get beheaded before his eyes, or that scene in Click where the old father with that coin-behind-the-ear trick tells his son on 'auto-pilot' that he loves him very much. Recently seen the movie 'Inside Out' for the first time, since I've heard good things about that cartoon, and even though I wasn't even drunk the scene where she gets back home from getting off the bus brought a couple tears to my eyes. Didn't outright weep, but bloody Hell if I were actually drunk I likely would have blubbered like a baby.
I think you misunderstood.
I've had mine for three years almost always on me, the only damage is the cover is slightly bent from being in a pocket.
Hardcover moleskines tend to lay flat as hell. Have you ever used one?
>Those moleskin notebooks are oligarch as fuck
Fucking lmao
Maybe I'm confusing them with a knock-off.
desu dairy farm my?
you are a woman
post feet
That's a selling point tbqh

Look how pale that foot is. I bet you're hairless too, you sissy fuck. Do you have nice lips?
yeah I'd dick that foot
You're right but remove that fucking trip right now
I have a few A4 pads at my desk for working through ideas or studying stuff. If I'm out and about then my phone is perfectly capable of taking notes and even fits in my pocket.
>jurking
It is jerking off retard, not jurking.
If you're going to make a correction on /lit at least also correct *too
But I think he was being ironic
i have a beautiful unbranded calfskin bound notebook, re-fillable, and etched with the initials of the Victorian novelist who was its first owner. I didn't write in it for years as seemed like sacrilege to USE such a beautiful item. I'm over that. Now I just use it to document all the guys I've fucked lol
