Now I probably have half a dozen or more composition books laying around the house and studio. One in the car. One in my backpack. Etc. It was hysterical the last time I flew because I was pulling out my colored pencils and comp book, and the 20 something girl across the aisle whipped out her adult coloring book and a giant box of 64 Crayolas. She said it helped her with the anxiety of flying. We were two adults sitting on an airplane coloring. ; )<br /><br />The challenge lately has been figuring out in which book I wrote down an idea. It's probably time to get a little more organized.
