I often carry blank sheets of printer paper around with me.

I have a backup supply of unlined notebooks.

To me, a blank page is the mind’s playground.

A place where you can test ideas, bring your thoughts to life, and make the connections that might be too abstract to work out only in your head.

You can do all of that, and if you don’t like where it takes you, you can pull out another blank sheet, and begin again.
