Two Note-Based Things I Can't Wait to Use

No, I’m not referring to an app. Real-life notebooks! There are two things I heavily depend on as a writer: notebooks that reflect the essence of what I’m writing, and fun sticky notes or notepads.

NaNoWriMo is almost over, and while I had a major setback that meant I needed to restart the whole book, I also feel the book is shaping up to be something much stronger and more intense than I’d originally planned.
