How do you carry your notebooks around? Normally I bring a backpack everywhere but my school term is over, and frankly, if I can get away with carrying everything like my wallet, phone cigs, etc in my pockets than I will do that.
Not even sure if I should be asking this to /fa/ or /lit/, but would you think it normal to have a notebook in your hand the entire night out? I don't think it would fit in my pocket

>> No.2579273

Get a tiny notebook. No scratch that. Get a LOT of tiny notebooks. Once for every pocket.

This will work.

b-but I have a leather bound moleskine already, half filled, and it really impresses people

writing. so it looks like I'm a real writer
I'm wavering between thinking I'll look like a try hard hipster with a moleskine and will impress people who would esteem the hobby of writing.

Mm. Do you take it to bars? I would love to meet a person with a half-full moleskin in a bar.

Carry it in your hand. Or, get a medium-sized moleskin, and stuff it in your back pocket. I do this with medium-sized notebooks frequently, and I'm a girl. (That means my bum pockets are smaller than yours, assuming you're a man.)

I don`t want a backpack. Or purse. whatever that thing was.
>>2579307

I would too but it`s rare that you`ll actually see someone with this opinion, I think
I think I`ll try just having a night out on the town with it in my hand, hopefully my friends won`t think I`m a complete tosser or showoff or whatever people like to judge you with

If I get another moleskin, I`m definitely stealing it.

In the words of someone I greatly admire "Good for us - Fuck 'em all."

Don't worry about what they think. They'll feel like asses when you bump into a publisher who reads your half-full moleskin, and decides he likes what he sees. You never know who you're going to meet, and when.

>> No.2579324

Have been using moleskin notebooks for ages because I get them for free and they are pretty good. Now I find out it makes me look like a hipster wannabe writer. Fuck this gay earth.

Why would you want to take notebook with you if are going out with your friends? Isnt that even more douchebagery than spending whole night on your phone? It makes you look like you had actually planned writing instead of socializing.

tbh it's just ramblings and small clever fictionalized anecdotes, list goes on. Some of the stuff I write makes me feel wise. But I doubt I'm getting published with the lazy trajectory I've been on since I started writing
>>2579324
Thoughts are there temporarily and then gone forever within minutes. There are only a few small thoughts out of the thousands you have in a day that you actually rehearse to yourself. I want to capture the ones that strike me as interesting right away

I get blackout drunk and have established a habit of social tact that allows me to explain this while shitfaced if something triggers a desire in me to write about what is being said down.

It's like getting notes from a more socially apt version of yourself who, unlike yourself, knows how to get girls numbers.

i'm not entirely devoid of a sense of style, so i have a satchel and a sling bag. you better be a woman who hates purses if you can't fit a small notebook in your pockets.

Your friends would hate you for making them less of a priority than a fucking notebook. You'd also look like a complete attention whore. You're the type of person that makes all other writers look like pretentious cunts. Go jump into a pit of gasoline and light a match. And, make sure you bring your fucking notebook with you!

>> No.2579914

I bring my notebooks when I go to the library, not when I'm hanging out with friends.

You don't seriously write if you attempt to do so at social gatherings, stop making an ass of yourself.

>> No.2579927

You'll look like a pretentious dickhole trying to impress people if you do it on 'nights out'.

Just buy a smartphone and write on that if you absolutely must write while out.

Also I found this phrase way cuter than I should have for some reason :3. (I'm English I've heard the word bum used before it's just usually but small children).
