The Written Word.
Books, notebooks and the quiet usefulness of putting things on paper.
Reading and writing need very little equipment to begin. Make a useful place for a book or notebook, choose a comfortable light and give the habit a little regular attention.
Keep a book close.
Choose a place where reading is easy to return to.
Write for a purpose.
A single notebook can hold the lists and thoughts you need.
Borrow and revisit.
A library or a familiar book may be a better next step than another purchase.
From the journal.
Independent editorial.
