In Hound Dog True, Mattie Breen keeps a notebook of "Custodial Wisdom." In it, she writes her observations about the work her Uncle Potluck does-and a few of her own stories sneak onto the pages as well. For the past few years, I have been keeping a notebook. Or rather, notebooks. When I was a young writer, I liked the idea of keeping a notebook or diary, but I always felt that what I wrote in it needed to be Important, Well Written, and Spelled Perfectly (note the capitals!). I started a dozen different diaries, but always quit after a few pages. My life seemed dull...my writing lifeless. And my spelling? Well, I never was a very good speller. Even as a grownup, I would buy beautiful blank books and never write a word in them, afraid that my words would not prove worth the paper I scratched them on. I'm not sure what made me treat this particular notebook differently, but in 2008 I bought a notebook and promptly messed it up. On the very first page, I wrote: x-mas: papajohn's Hoppinjohn's grits. Already I had made a mistake. No way would this notebook be filled with perfection. What a terrific thing that turned out to be-suddenly I was free of all those worries about perfection and pretty pages. The next page of that notebook is filled with notes about the early work I was doing on Hound Dog True. There are misspellings and lots of questions-and some really good ideas that never would have come out if I had been trying for perfection! Now my notebooks are filled with all the bits of my life: hangman games and grocery lists, research for my novels and reminders about books I want to check out at the library. Do you keep a notebook?
