Yes, I even use a pen.

I've finally found a writing notebook - four pages before I reach the end of my current one.
This is the problem with writing stories on paper instead of straight into a computer: it's not just paper, but a certain kind of paper.
A writing notebook has to be:
-lined
-A5
-blank (no pretty pictures in the background or anything)
-bound (spiral ones end up with pages ripping out)
That doesn't sound too complicated, does it?
But despite looking everywhere, the only place I've been able to find a good notebook is Target, this afternoon.
Thank goodness I did, anyway, because I'm halfway through a fic, and I'm about to run out of paper...

I would think it'd be not so hard to find one like what you want, though. That's weird.
(BTW, what's A5 mean? Je ne understand-eh.)

...that seems weird.
But notebook paper is all the same size here! 8 and a half inches by 11 inches.

Hmm, when I write I paper I'll write on anything that the pen will show up on. Maybe this is why you like paper more than I do, you have it down to a fine art. :P
