Notes & Pages

Two halves.
One notebook.

A note is a thing you write before you know what it is. A page is what happens once you do.

Notes

Monospaced and ready the moment you open them. For ferry times, roof repairs, or half a sentence about a letter.

Ferry timetable, Tuesday 07:40 — first crossing, foot passengers only. 09:15 — the one with the car deck. Book ahead. 13:05 — usually late in a westerly.

Pages

For real writing, with headings, an outline to jump through, images and tables.

The long draft

This started as a note and outgrew it, which is the only real difference between the two halves.

Where it begins

The first section was written on a ferry, badly, with a phone balanced on a rucksack.

Every day there's a free pack to tear open. Inside is one stamp, from common to mythic, and a prompt to write from.
