Happenchance: How I Use My Knockoff Moleskine

Creative guy Seth M Baker narrates how he relies on his knockoff Moleskine the way “a ninja depends on guile and explosive powder, a pirate depends on rum, or the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt manufacturers depends on irony and snark.”

fisherman's netSeveral months ago, I bought a knockoff Korean moleskine journal.  At first, I thought I’d use it just to jot down story ideas. Since then, it has developed into a journal of miscellany. I’ve grown dependent on it like a ninja depends on guile and explosive powder, a pirate depends on rum, or the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt manufacturers depends on irony and snark.

At least ten times a day, I find myself writing down some piece of information, useless or otherwise. Almost as often I find myself referring back to something I wrote in days previous. This journal of miscellany works like a fisherman’s net, allowing me to catch most of my ideas, pick and choose the good ones, and throw the rotten or misshapen ones back in the water.
