Me and my notebook #1

I liked how Stavans described a notebook as more of a place to just let loose and not write in any linear fashion. I wasn't so interested in how his doodles turned into a graphic novel but I like how he wrote how his notebook writing is similar to nakedness because its edited or written to be seen. I have a notebook that I write in sometimes but for me its a little difficult to get out of my mind and just let the writing flow. I always want to write the "perfect" poem, story, etc. But usually once I start just spouting anything onto the page I create things that I later can use and polish. He did a good job of explaining how notebook writing doesn't have to be perfect or even coherent, its just a way to get your thoughts out of your head and onto the paper.
