Discussion: Stream-of-Consciousness Experiment on Moleskine

jjtelecaster says:

I'm considering an experiment: filling a pocket moleskine (reporter square) in a limited time. I think a week at most; a weekend would be nice.

It would involve carrying the notebook and pen all the time and writing while I'm do ing other things: I mean not driving or having a shower, but I could write while watching the news, studying, playing go, having a coffee...

I'll forget about the precious paper, nice binding... just treat the notebook so as to shoot as much stuff in my mind onto paper as I can. I'm curious about how it would look like at the end.

I know this sounds " AnthonyThrollopian" (or maybe StephenKingish", but I want to give it a try.

That is an interesting concept.
I like the idea of it. Though I don't know how I would go about it.

Make sure you post again and tell us how it worked out. I would love to see some of the results in here if you are happy to share it.

I sometimes wonder what it would look like too if I just kept scribbling while doing other things. I have a large desk note pad under my keyboard at work and it has more scribbles than it has actual information on it. I guess your idea would keep the same idea more compact.

Nice idea, I would love to join you on that sometime!
And I agree, make sure you post and tell us if you try the experiment!
