a dreamer's night talks - episode 13 - on notebooks
“Did I really need another notebook?” The answer to this question is always yes! So, today I bought a new notebook, and I wanted to talk about the importance of notebooks in my creative practice, and in my life. Everything I do starts with writing in a notebook, and writing in notebooks has been a daily practice for years. I hope you enjoy this episode and will be inspired to get a notebook and start pouring down thoughts, ideas, emotions and more on those welcoming pages…
PS: I have recorded this episode with all my windows open, so the nocturnal background noise is there, but tonight, it is part of the story.
