:arrow: I'm so forgetful i need to carry a brain book around with me all the time to write down my thoughts and the things i need to remember otherwise i'd be lost and really unorganised... anyone else do the same?

If you do, are you a 'creative' writer or is it practical and "jus' the facts maam"?

do you let others 'into' you book or is is private? Just how private is it?

do you take it 'everywhere' or is it more of a 'journal' style affair which is kept in a secret place and only updated every once in a while?

:?:

oh and just tell me to nik off if I'm gettin personal

I have one, its called Long Term Memory

and I know psychology, so I can help you improve your memory if yah want.

I find that most of my best thoughts , creativity-wise , come to me on long walks ( I'm a writer ) .... so I'd need a lil tape recorder more then a paper & pen.....

But yes I do try to keep a pen and paper handy at all times and I jot down thoughts , inspirations , things-to-do etc . ( long term memory is great , its my short term memory that is shockingly bad )

I haven't kept a journal since I was 14. My parents read mine while I was at a rodeo with a friend and held all of my thoughts against me. They said never write down what you don't want others to read. Since then, I've never been able to keep one. :cry:

I'm with Ceno ~ I have a list of places/things that I want to photograph - If I ever find the time. Actually, I need to talk my sister in to going with me and she can drive me around while I jump out, take the shot, jump back in the car after she drives around the block. Other than that, my thoughts are an open book. Well, not exactly but if you ask me I will tell.

yeah, my short term memory is life a sieve

I've got a pad i carry around but it's nothing special... just things i need to remember... occasionally my girlfriend will write some little message in just to make me smile when i get to that page which is really cool

People say I have a good memory....although I write a lot on my agenda, notes, stuff i want to remember.......and sometimes if i dont have my agenda around i'd write down on pieces of paper

later i realise my bag has lots of them lolololol
I have had journals when was a teenager (lololo) now i dont feel i would have another journal... my agenda ends up been a kinda of journal, cause's i write down the places i've been and the people ... etc

I always have a notebook and pen with me, wherever I go. I'm a creative writer, and I get a lot of my ideas from snippets of conversation (I'm also extremely nosy) so I have to write them down as and when I hear them, otherwise they're lost forever!
