I think you should start a new topic for How to Set Up a Notebook.

Who me?  With nary a clue?

I got a composition notebook in a grocery pickup order. I can’t resist space themes. 
 

How do you start a notebook?  
I’m thinking I might find a favorite quote, plus the two radio stations I like, and write those on the first page. 

In the beginning...

Actually it was kind of dark too!

I am wondering (wandering too) does all of this back and forth banter make us "lit-wits"?

or am I just being to picky?

[Misfit]

I would have said A Cold and Starry Night.

Oh, I see what you did there. It was a dark and stormy night. A shot rang out. The Literary Ace in action. Snoopy power!

It's my dogged persuit of "pun-ishment!"

I think I will quit for now anyway.

REDUNDANCY! REDUNDANCY!

Nights are by nature dark.

Don't quit.  We need this sort of lighthearted play.

A lot of times Snoopy only got as far as “It was a dark and stormy night.” At some point, we got a fuller story. A ship even appeared on the horizon in it. 
 

Some nights, with snow on the ground, and cloud cover, are not that dark.

Or as Frasier Crane said in a Cheers episode:  “Are you saying that I’m redundant, that I repeat myself, that I say things over and over?”

Seconded.

 

But the question does remind me of another one...

 

Question: How do you eat an elephant?

Answer: One bite at a time.

I heard that quote in the TV show Air Disasters. 

[Misfit]

OK so if the great @amberleadavisand @essayfairethink that would make a good topic, will you help me with the title, and maybe how to start it?   All I can think of is “so you got a new notebook.  How are you going to start it?”

[mhguda]

How to start using that new notebook.

Ideas for starting in a new notebook.

So you chose which new notebook to use next. What's on the first page?

(just some topics that would draw me in).

[Misfit]

Thank you @mhguda  more great members helping is truly welcome. I like your third option to start the post.  Good title options too. I figure the title has to be short enough, but be able to grab readers interested in this particular topic. 
 

I’m surprised this hasn’t come up in threads before.  

[mhguda]

I look forward to joining this one, @MisfitMaybe we haven't talked about how we start our notebooks, but I think we do love talking about them, and showing them off! and I love reading about how others find great notebooks, great paper, and great creative uses of all of that.

Don't expect me to swallow that either!
