Postcards from a Librarian

Musings and images from a librarian on the road (sometimes at home)

What a way to write and organize - amazing keeping it all together.

fuckyeahbookarts:

leopoldgursky:

“Nabokov wrote most his novels on 3” x 5” notecards, keeping blank cards under his pillow for whenever inspiration struck. Seen here: a draft of Lolita.”

I really need to start doing this! I always seem to get my best ideas right before I doze off, and then again right when I first wake up!
