Promise of a New Notebook

There is something about a brand new notebook or journal that just brings a moment of fresh hope, of excitement for new possibilities, goals and plans.

I have always loved stationery (and flowers!). Pretty notebooks are my weakness. I don’t need another one, and yet there I am, always buying more!

I live in the hope that by putting my ideas down in a beautiful new notebook, they will magically come into being, I think this will be the project! An outline of a new story – that’s the one! I have far too many notebooks sitting around with just the first few pages used.

I want be more consistent with many things in the upcoming new year, and so I have given myself permission to get one new notebook (I might have already bought it 🤫), and then that’s it. I am not allowing myself to buy any more until the others are all filled in.

This means I will have to stick with my current projects and WIPs and not succumb to the tempting shiny objects that come my way.

  1. Love me a shiny new notebook. I broke the habit a few years ago by using cheap spirax notebooks. I collage the covers which makes me want to use them more. I can theme it for the project that way.
