I still keep three notebooks: one for the day, one for ideas, one for what I refuse to send. Together they weigh less than a hardcover novel and hold more of my life than the phone in my pocket.
What is on paper is different from what is on a screen. It is slower to arrive and slower to leave. That is the whole gift.
