rhodia or moleskine

Maybe go to an art supply store and get a bound artist's sketchbook. Make sure the binding is woven not glued and the paper quality is right. These things can put up with a ton of abuse.

What exactly im looking for on paper quality? Thick, texture?

Also I suppose we can talk about writing "techniques", I myself am pretty fond of the just write everything that comes to mind even if it doesn't follow a sequence

As well I believe that whenever your considering implementing a new idea into your story one should weight the possibilities that it opens vs the ones that closes

Sorry for my broken English BTW

Oh I just mean something with heavy-ish paper that is not likely to tear, and works well with your chosen writing implement. Paper that's too glossy can not absorb ink at the right rate and smear. Or maybe you use pencil and want a hard, barely absorbent page. It's up to you. Just make sure to feel it and get excited about the idea of writing in it.

Why don't you use a typewriter? It will save you a lot of time.

>not writing your first book on paper with a pen, then buying a typewriter that will last your entire career with the money you get from it

It's like you don't even want the /lit/ lifestyle.

Buy a moleskine notebook, a shitty Jinhao fountain pen, some noodlers black ink and knock yourself out.

>writing on paper is "old school"

I find getting a poster sized print out of paper, squatting over and shitting on it, then arranging the mess into delicate prose with chopsticks is quite exhilarating.

Moleskine notebook and a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. Things are like $USD15 but write beautifully. They also have a medium or fine nib, depending on your writing style.

>Justo make sure to feel it and get about the idea of writing un it

Dunno why but i like a lot the way you phrase it, are you a writer?

>>7791603
Well im médium class on a third world country so basically "poor", besides i dont really think some loose sheets can last longer than a proper notebook, but if you know some ancient chinese secret to keep those safe longer please do share
