Today I went with Cara to watch someone speak, and Cara brought a notebook with her. She has a number of notebooks scattered throughout her apartment – not surprising for someone creative, right? You would think a songwriter would always be jotting down notes and thoughts. But her notebooks are, shall we say, complex. They are not in chronological order, they don’t contain one type of entry (they are a mixture of song lyrics, journal entries, phone numbers and notes to help her remember things). Not only that, but some of the entries are written backwards, some are upside down, and they are a mixture of right- and left-hand writing (Cara is only right-handed, but practices writing with her left hand on occassion). Also, there are great doodles and pictures that are in there sometimes. I got a peak into her notebook today because she was showing me something, and I got her to let me take some pictures. I’ll post them up here periodically, but today I want to post my favorite picture….
