Notebooking with Pleasure

How notebooks and notebooking help us think 📚

Dear fellow writer,

I’m writing to you from my annual Island Time writing retreat on beautiful Waiheke Island in Aotearoa New Zealand. (Come visit! There’s still time to register for my free Open Beach House at Island Time).

Here’s the view that I woke up to this morning:

I walked across the road to the beach and went for a glorious swim in the clear turquoise water, then returned home to eat breakfast and check my email. What a thrill it was to open my inbox and find this post by Noted author

Helen Sword's Pleasurable Notes

Inspired by Jillian’s brilliant explorations of notebooks and notebooking in her newsletter, I’m planning to dedicate the entire month of February to the theme of “Notebooking with Pleasure.” There will be freebies for everyone and extra goodies for paid subscribers, including a gala live event and notebook giveaway on Valentine’s Day. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon. I’d love to see you there!

If you appreciate hearing about resources and events like these — or just want to make my day — please take a moment to drop me a heart, leave a comment, and/or click Restack at the bottom of this message. Your enthusiasm and support mean so much to me.🩷

Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!

Helen
