A notebook hard to lose

I enjoy writing. I'm also a packrat. When I get the urge to write, it's like an addiction I must feed. So I grab whatever is available to scratch my thoughts on to. Random notebooks, post-it notes (the big ones with lines), margins of a newspaper...whatever. I also feel it is important to keep as much of my writings as possible. Unfortunately, I have a habit of losing the things I write on. Even when I put it down in a notebook, the page get buried among other, less important pages and I forget what notebook I wrote a particular thought process down on. I faced this harsh realization last night when I couldn't find a whole stack of my writings that I had hoarded away in some 'safe place' only a few months ago.

Thus I realized that maybe a blog provides that centralized storage medium that I need. Always accessible from practically anywhere. It's much harder to lose a computer than it is a notebook.

...And I never need to find a pen that works.
