"Metawriting" entry: The Notebook


Excerpt
Like any other career, writing has tools of the trade that help us write better. Some of these tools are skills and knowledge, but some of these tools are physical. For example, most writers can tell you what books and magazines make up their bookshelf of resources. Most of these tools are obvious: pen, paper, typewriter or computer, and so on. But there are also tools that may not be so obvious to a new writer that can be just as important as the paper on which we write. One of these is a Writers Notebook.
