Huh...in the taking a minute column...the second mystery project is 1600 words big today. Not all impressive like my spouse but nothing to be embarrassed about.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
erika! WOOT!
For heavens sake, don't make the mistake of thinking I write this fast usually. This one's different.
Fabulous, erika!
Lilty: go European notebooks. Choose European notebooks! They are funny sizes, and usually cross-ruled like lab books.
If you must go for notebook frippery, go for the leather notebook cover that people like Levenger sell. Key component: removable, so you can put it on different notebooks as the time goes by.
Cross ruled? Lab books? Please do explain!
On graph paper?
I can't write on graph paper, my brain gets confused.
Yep, bringing a 'lil spiral then buying something pretty in Europe sounds like the way to go.
Oh, cool. Only our math books were graph paper. Well, not the fine graph -- .5cm increments, not 1mm. God, we had such paper rules in school. They controlled that more than the uniforms.
I carry the little 3" x 5" notebooks for random thoughts, addresses of people I meet, records of how much a trinket cost (for customs), odds and ends. Also if I am traveling with someone and sharing expenses, how much each of has spent for dual things, like meals, lodging, etc.
These little memory joggers are wonderful years later. Also money conversions. I find out how much the currency is worth in my familiar money (dollars) so I can bargain or shop. On Oct 1, lordy knows what year, the British pound was worth 1.473 dollars. 35 pounds was $51.56.
