I have a huge collection of beautiful books (empty) lined, unlined, and gridded. Sketchbooks are no exception.</p> Well, at least I finally know that I’m not the only one…My fiance, bless him, has long been confused and befuddled by my NEED to purchase journals that I fall in love with at work (I work for a retail book store).

I've been on and off journaling since I'm about 12 years old and I tend to use several diaries parallel, but they all are really different from each other. I just decided I will use them all up before I start a fresh one and them just use one at a time. plus, I have a lot of fresh ones of all shapes and sizes sitting around, waiting to be filled or take the place of one of my theme-books (related to a certain topic, project, city, language..) I don't have a favorite pen to write in a certain notebook. It all depends on what I feel for, same problem with my various journals.</p> Sounds familiar to me.

Students keep asking me, "Do you know you can buy notebooks? They're very cheap."</p> <p>If you use unlined paper for a while, your writing might improve as a result. That happened with mine. My drawing skills still inspire only pity or amusement among those who see the results.</p> But you know your addiction has gone over the top when you start making your own.

Whenever I'm in a stationery store or in the Paperchase section of Borders, I allow myself to fondle the notebooks, but try to restrain myself from buying any more. I have a big tub of them at home, which keeps getting more full. Just enjoy it. There are worse additions, for sure.</p> Hi Patrick! :)

I'm a sketchbook junkie, so it's OK. I try to use up a sketchbook before I move on to a new one. I have friends who use whichever sketchbook is at hand, so they could be working on 5 sketchbooks at once.</p> <p>Currently, I've got a Moleskine that I talked about briefly <a href="http://mysteriousflame.com/capturing-elusive-ideas" rel="nofollow">here</a>, but I also use a cheap-ish one I found at Barnes & Noble, as well as a super-cheap one from Borders, which I use at work.</p> <p>Then at church I use a tiny gridded Moleskine for sermon notes. I usually end up filling in the little squares with various patterns, ending up with some crazy sort of plaid pattern on the pages. I'll have to scan & post that sometime soon.</p> Nice.
