Notebooks

Hey! I'm posting again! Finally! It's been almost a month and I have no excuse for not posting. I'm sure if I thought really hard I could think of one, but you don't come here to listen to my excuses, you come to read about writing! If you're not, well... I don't know what to say to that.

I have a notebook that I carry around almost all the time. When I have to wait at a train station or my fast food is not fast, then I can whip it out and work on the latest chapter to some story I'm working on or jot down funny things people say. I'm serious, I actually do write down funny things people say (or I think of). Sure, you hear about writers doing this, and it sounds like a good idea. But in the moment, you figure "that's too much work I'll remember it later". Been there, done that. But do you know what happened? I didn't. I FORGOT!
I decided that those writers must have a memory that doesn't remember things, just like mine! And since I started carrying a notebook I have written down some pretty awesome stuff. And a lot of it has been going into stories.
Another thing to jot down is anything that inspires you! The most random of things can spark a story. For instance, remember Lemon Crayon?  That idea came from a conversation with my dad. It was his idea, but I wrote the story. I've come up with a lot of other stuff like that from random little things.

I hope all of this has convinced you to start carrying a notebook around with you! It comes in more handy than you would think! Take my word for it.

BtLoN

Remember that story I posted Wednesday? Yes, that one. We probably won't be posting any more of that story, for at least two weeks. Boredom had over come me when I wrote that, Freya read it and now we will be writing the rest of it, hopefully, by Sunday. Unfortunately for you wonderful readers, we will not be writing it online, the way we write our other stories. We're going "old-fashioned" and using a note book. We will have other stories, don't worry about that. Words on a Page will continue to write weekly, just not BtLoN.

BtLoN stands for Beyond the Limits of Normality. A fitting name for a "far-out" book. Far-out meaning strange of course, not "groovy". I thank you for lending us your time to read this, I hope you will enjoy our book, along with the other stories that will come about from the depths of our imaginations. Keep your eyes peeled, you never know what will be posted next on Words on a Page.
