So, here's the thing. I love pens. And I love notebooks. I take one wherever I go and jot down thoughts and bits of stories that I'm working on. Especially in cafes. I've been doing it for decades.

My problem comes because I'm not always disciplined enough to then transcribe them into the computer. Although, lately I'm trying to make more of an effort.

I did use a Livescribe pen & paper for a while, but the pen spudded out and the new ones work in a way that doesn't suit my workflow (i.e. I don't want to have to connect to the internet/cloud just to "download" my scribblings...can you "download" to the cloud? Upload. Whatever.).

How do you manage your writings? Why do I keep buying pens?
