Many of my best ideas come to me lying in bed, letting my mind relax right before sleep takes me over. Often, I wake up knowing that just a few hours prior, I might have had a moment of genius, an epiphany that would could surely be a success, only, I can’t remember the idea itself. Some nights I visualize great displays of visual stimuli with particular details that tie the whole piece together – So many times I have wished that I had some sort of device to quickly and easily record these fleeting thoughts. Yes, I know that “there’s an app for that” but loading screens, chubby fingers that don’t tap where need be and the lack of a pen or stylus just do not inspire me, nor serve my needs in the way that I require. I’ve discovered Moleskine since.
Before the iPhone, Blackberry, Palm Pilots, or even batteries, great minds developed and executed creative brilliance, many yet to be outshone to this day. How did Vincent van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin all retain copious amounts of info then curate and continually refine it all… how did they even begin “Stary Night”, “The Old Man and the Sea” and “In Patagonia”? A notebook. Not just any sort of bound paper but an inspiring, beautifully designed notebook, commonly and only recently officially, named the Moleskine notebook.
Paper that is just the right thickness, a pouch firmly attached to the inside back cover, a secured fabric bookmark and elastic to ensure that your notebook stays firmly closed and all of your ideas stay put, right where you left them.
In this video Moleskine speaks with Elizabeth Chatwin, the wife of the acclaimed novelist and travel writer Bruce Chatwin(1940 – 1989) about the significance of note taking and how the Moleskine notebook played an integral part in Chatwin’s literary career.
