Writing in a Physical Notebook

There is something else going on in my mind whenever I write in a physical notebook. I don’t know why, but I get more clarity when I'm actually writing. Maybe it’s because writing in a physical notebook is easy while editing in a is hard, so I’m more focused on the act of writing. Maybe it’s because I’m free to write everywhere, not committed to the lines or any linear order.

Eventually, everything I write on this website I write on my computer, using my keyboard. I don’t write posts in my notebook; I write streams of thoughts there. It’s something between a journal and a meditation—I almost never go back to the pages I’ve already filled with words. They are just there, a snapshot of my thoughts at that given moment.
