Heidi's Notes


These delightful notes are from Heidi Champa. I have read a handful of stories by Ms. Champa, and I'm totally impressed. She's got a flair. What I love most about the notes is the fact that she used a magazine as her "notebook" (something I do all the time), and she wrote on the upside-down spread (something that makes sense to me). HC says:

Alison,

I couldn't resist getting in on the fun. I usually have notes everywhere, on all manner of paper, envelopes and post its. And, I have countless notebooks as well. Lately, I've been trying to be good about using my laptop for notes, but I don't always succeed. These notes are on an old article from Rolling Stone. I had written one thing on it months ago, and just continued to use it for little ideas or reminders. I really need a better system.

I keep saying that, too. I need a better system. But if this system works for you, then why change?

XXX,
Alison

That looks so cool! Now I'm picturing a line of "upside-down magazine" journals and stationery.

Doesn't it?

Makes me feel so much better about using every little scrap of paper (and sometimes a portion of my clothing, or a patch of skin) for my notes!

Thanks, all. Glad my disorganization can inspire others. ;)

Jeremy, let's go into business together. I love the idea!!

I can relate to your system, Heidi. And I agree with Alison, if it works, why change?

Roll with it, baby!

All writers are sort of "writing against" their predecessors--this is the best literal illustration I've ever seen!
