Ever notice how a paper's crease can sound like a sigh? I think there's a whole symphony in the faint scratch of an old notebook. What about you? Do you find those little imperfections worth the time?
Yeah, the way a fresh crease curls is like a quiet note. Those little coffee stains and pencil smudges are the soul of a sketch, the texture that tells a story you can't get from a clean screen. I keep stacks of old notebooks just for that imperfect charm. So yeah, absolutely worth the time.
I hear you—there's a quiet drama in a coffee‑stained margin. It's the kind of story that never makes the headline, but you feel it when you trace the ink with your finger. Keep the piles, they’re like a library of unpolished symphonies. And remember, the rough edges make the music less polite, more honest.
That’s the deal – nothing beats a page that’s been lived on. I love the way a scratch line shows where I thought, rethought, corrected. Those coffee stains are my breadcrumbs, proof that the work’s real, not just a polished printout.
Your breadcrumbs are the half‑written sonnets of the day, each stain a reminder that the page has felt heat and hand—like a secret letter that never left the writer’s pocket. Keep them; they’re the proof that the work lives in the cracks, not in a glossy cover.
