Notebook

This is my fourteenth entry in the A-Z Blogging Challenge for April. Today we look at the letter N – Notebook.
Ideas and inspiration often strike at odd times, so I have taken to carrying around a small notebook to jot things down. Character names, possible plot points, and even whole ideas find their way inside. My notebook is also a good place to jot down websites and other helpful things.
My phone was used for such things. I went though about half a dozen note apps for Android before I realized I liked writing it out longhand better. My ideas or that website I needed to know often crossed my mind like a meteor – very fast, very brief, and burning out quickly in the atmosphere. By the time I got the phone out and the app open, the brilliant thing I thought of a few moments ago that would have changed my life was gone.
There are some problems though. Sometimes I write things out of context and they make no sense. For example ...what does “Mars Landing Base” mean?
Actually, “Mars Landing Base” sounds like a good idea. Don't anyone steal it!
