#SOLSC20: Day 3

My notebook is my refuge.

It knows my darkest secrets.

It holds my deepest thoughts.

My notebook is my refuge.

It contains cross outs and scribbles

Sometimes barely discernible.

My notebook is my refuge.

It contains my fears, my trials, my tribulations.

It contains my greatest joys.

My notebook is my refuge.

Sometimes it is public.

Sometimes it is private.

My notebook is my refuge.

Snippets of stories.

Memories and remembrances.

My notebook is my refuge.

A safe place to work.

A safe place to think.

Where do you do your thinking? 

Where do you try out ideas and develop your work?

How do you use a notebook?

      It is a great topic. I have not written every single day in the 100 days of notebook challenge, but I have written a lot. Volume matters!

  10. I have just begun the habit of notebooking (everyday since November :). It is my favorite part of the day. I write in the morning and it clears my head for the day. I love thinking of it as a refuge! Lovely post!
