Thank you. Another author and I even brainstormed some ideas for using commonplacing and a commonplace book in a novel or two. Due to the precedence of other projects in our lives, we haven’t written them yet. Someday.

I've been so thrilled to study & share Commonplace Book use that I dedicated a new (altered) book just for commonplacing!

I clicked on the link for the record of John Locke’s book. Most of us don't think about how long it took people to write in longhand. And no features like "find" to find something quickly. <br />I don't use a notebook (know I probably should) but I do have files and files of Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.com
