"Sec do you just hate the indexes and the fact that they were in there in the first place??????? Is that why you said you hated prompts????"

YES I HATE THAT, THAT'S WHAT I HATE.

WHy do I HATE indexes so much - because I move shit around.

I hated having my bujo in a bound book. Where indexes make sense.

These days I use *slappies the FREE REAL ESTATE* binders. Because sometimes I knew I had something to write, but I didn't know where to write it in a bound book. SO I would skip pages.

And then I'd have a mental health weirdness, and not use my bujo, and then I had to figure out what to do with all these random blank pages. AND I HATED IT.

AHHHHH

Also I've tried writing spell books / witchcraft books into binders. I get about three paragraphs in, and then I think of something else, or a rephrasing. And then I start over. And then I think of something else, and then I restart over. I have a series of random three paragraph pages in one of my binders because I have tried and failed multiple times.

AND NONE OF THEM HAVE INDEXES. I AM FREE FROM INDEX HELL.

"how do you find anything"

TABS

I use tabs in my binder, and then I use a post-it note on the inside of the front of the binder to keep track of what the tabs mean. Since my tabs are numbered and can't be changed out with the little slips of paper. It works and is the closest I have ever gotten to a proper index.

if thriftbooks doesn’t have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.

Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the “buy used” or “other sellers” section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.

There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!

Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!

(It’s also worth checking directly from an author’s or publisher’s page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of y’all aren’t built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, there’s a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)

I use thriftbooks a lot, it's so good!

as someone who works in an independent bookstore, alibris is the best for supporting yr local bookstore! abebooks is now owned by amazon. thriftbooks is great also just doesn’t usually support independent stores.

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.
