Notes For Days

You know, dear reader, upon reviewing several notebooks and scrap pieces of paper/shoddily organized word documents I’ve realized two important things: my handwriting can be utterly terrible at times and it only worsens when I get excited.

Trying to decipher some of the animated scribblings I left myself has proven a bit of a challenge in and of itself but oh, how the fruits of my labors are paying themselves off in spades. Not to brag, mind you, but man does that feel good.

Everyone’s different mind you: there are plenty of online resources to keep all of your ideas in a centralized, cleanly formatted location that probably makes a whole lot of sense to some (if not most) people.

I like to think the chaos is part of the fun, though, and I can more easily trace the evolution of a concept or idea when its physically written down. Is that just my weird little lizard brain firing off an extra neuron somewhere? Yes. Am I still going to do it knowing its extremely inefficient and there are better alternatives elsewhere? Also yes.

Theres just something about having to pay a fee for a service or even having to log in somewhere to log my notes that just irks me for some reason. Like who dare to gatekeep my own madness from MYSELF? No, I’ll take a paper box full of notes any day thank you very much, because a proper ol’ paper and pen doesn’t ask for credentials or try to upload everything to the freaking Cloud (looking at you Microsoft).

Anyhow, progress is being made and theres definitely a reason why I was excited about the part I’m at in my notes. I just can’t wait until I can tell you all about it.

Until next time!
