The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is COIL.
Which of course calls to mind small coil-bound notebooks; I’ve half a dozen of these kicking around with misc verses and inspirations, abandoned or to be polished and posted someday.
I was given this small notebook as a Thank You for helping with a writers’ workshop. I immediately started filling it with haiku — a style I learned about at that workshop. It’s a cheapie but its hard cover made it easy to take along while travelling, so many impression were captured fresh from the stream. Here are some scribbles waiting to be spiffed up and posted someday.
Do you have a similar collection of scribblers holding your assorted thoughts? Maybe January’s a good month to deal with some of this under-developed inspiration? One at a time eventually gets the job done. Or, as Solomon once said, “Who hath despised the day of small things?”

I have many of these coiled notebooks. When I use them up I tear away and save the coil to use for craft projects. They are perfect and free. They can be bent in all kinds of directions, cut with wire cutters, painted or glued, you can even string large beads on them. Oh my! The possibilities are endless.

I have 27 volumes, all sizes, of my scribbling. It’s a little intimidating…

Wow — that would be daunting. I’m not much better though; I’ve thrown most of mine — and snippets from various sources that I want to save, into a plastic tub with the idea of “To be keyed in someday.”

I have one little coil book inside a handmade cover which I keep by my side, and I write odds and ends in it that I need to remember or refer to!
