A journal to capture your thoughts for book writing - Colorful so you won't lose it (we hope), with both blank and lined pages and a way to categorized the idea on each page so you can reference back to it when you are writing your manuscript. Don't have tons of little sticky notes cluttering up all over that you will step on and rip anyway - use this journal to keep all your ideas on people, places, plots and pithy ideas. This is for article writers also - it allows you to set down ideas that are not fully formed yet - in order to not lose those sparks of brilliance. Use as your own personal reference book when you are able to sit down to write.
