Your Common Place Book

I ask that you keep a common place book. This is a hard bound book similar to the book here. Though you have seen mine and once you go through your first common place book you might like to get something more decorative. I would advise having a book without lines.

Common placing is a very old term. A common place book is a combination of a scrap book, journal, and sketch book.


What it contains is:

• Things that inspire you, a saying a picture, a thought, an image. YOu can date your entries or just enter them as you feel lead to. 
• Quote you hear
• Ideas you have
• jot down the books you read and how you felt about them when you read them.  YOu may think you will remember, but you may not. Also note: When you are reading a book a sentence or a conversation may inspire you. Put this in your common place book. 

Do a google search for common place books and look at the images of other people's common place books.
