Ever try typing up the old handwritten ideas? My friend dug out her middle school poetry notebook last year and did that. She said the typos and weird margin doodles made the prompts feel alive in a way a clean digital page never could, lol. Ended up writing a whole short story from a three-word fragment she'd totally forgotten about.
Find digital notes more useful for actually writing. Old handwriting can be charming, but it slows me down when I'm trying to create. A clean page lets my current ideas flow without past distractions.
