I like the idea of a writing prompt book and a idea notebook. Does it get bulky to carry so many around? I tend to put all my ideas in point form on my ipod touch.

For Christmas my grandmother gave me a laptop bag that I really love and use as a purse. In it I always carry my filofax (including planner, credit/bank cards, addresses, and note cards), pens, my phone, writing practice notebook, writing prompt book, idea notebook, lip balm, brush/mirror set, keys, and hairbands. For classes I add another notebook, sometimes my laptop, school books, and assignments. When not for class, I add the book(s) I'm currently reading, needlework if it's not enormous, and any architectural doodles I've been working on. I also have room for a scarf, gloves, and earmuffs in the winter if I'm not sure whether I'll need them.
