“I bought a Moleskine,” says one blogger who needs a place to jot down his great blogging ideas.
The Moleskine notebook is said to be the legendary notebook of people like Ernest Hemingway and Vincent van Gogh. These things date back a couple centuries. It went away for a while but now is back–bigger than ever.
“My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.” - Ernest Hemingway
It has become the cornerstone of lifehackers and those wishing to improve their productivity and ideation. We’ve hacked the Moleskine! We’ve found the best pen for writing in it! The Moleskine has become our ‘external hard drive’!
Its uniqueness has given people a reason to start writing. A standard ruled pocket notebook Moleskine costs about $11, but they come in 9 other styles (sketch, plain, music, story board). Then there are large notebooks, reporter notebooks, city books, art books, and thin cahier notebooks. I have tried to incorporate the Moleskine into my life–jotting down thoughts, ideas, lists, and journal entries–but I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like.
Many Moleskine owners use the book for artistic sketches or travel notes. Others simply document daily life. This is a trend that is worth sticking around. We all need to do a little more writing; a little more thinking.

There is something comforting about actually writing on paper.

I love my moleskine. It’s one of the few products out there that is able to be equally at home in possession of a classy professor and a ragamuffin, equally bohemian and cutting-edge.

I love my moleskine too, but sadly I haven’t touched it since my trip to Portugal back in ‘06. I agree with Dina, it’s amazing how satisfying it can be to write on paper. (Blogging on WordPress ain’t bad either!
)
I’m glad I read this, I really need to make a note and remember to bring it on my cross country road trip in August!

I love my Moleskin®. But sometimes I love it a little too much and the pages stick.
