This started out as a Remark.as response to this post from Ernest Ortiz. Once it became long enough, I decided to make it a proper blog post instead.

So, here's my response to his question about my “writer's carry”:

Interesting, I've never heard it called a “writer's carry”, but it does make sense.

I used to write down my thoughts and ideas on my bullet journal. That habit slowly faded away once I started using Obsidian on my phone. Since my bullet journal is too big to carry around with me all the time, I still primarily write down thoughts and ideas on my phone first. But lately, I've been trying to get back to more analog writing, and have been writing to my bullet journal more.

I currently have a navy blue Bullet Journal, the official one that is a collab with Leuchtterm1917. As for my pen, when I'm at the office, I write with a Uni Jetstream pen. And when I'm at home, I use my Zebra Sarasa pen. Everywhere else where I can't easily write into my bullet journal, I use Obsidian on my phone.

Red supposedly represents anger or power. It also represents the expendable red shirts in the Star Trek TOS-era. I am the latter for this body is merely a temporary vessel before the afterlife; I try to use it to help others as much as possible.

At my disposal, my red wooden pencil and red notebook are always there to write my ideas and thoughts. I then use my red phone to type and post my blog articles. These three items help me spread my words throughout the online world.

This is not to brag or think I’m better than everyone else. I’m at the point in my life where I want to contribute whenever possible. It’s a calling, not a job. I can make money elsewhere.

What’s your writer’s carry?
