BBC News – Writers’ notebooks: ‘A junkyard of the mind’

BBC News – Writers’ notebooks: ‘A junkyard of the mind’

A full notebook potentially contains the rest of your writing life. Or nothing of value at all. It is transitional. Work passes through it on the way to becoming something else.

I love everything about this essay by author Lawrence Norfolk. He really captures the spirit of the place that a notebook fills in the life of a writer.
