leopoldgursky: “Nabokov wrote most his novels on 3” x 5” notecards, keeping blank cards under his pillow for whenever inspiration struck. Seen here: a draft of Lolita.” I was once told by a teacher that my fiction writing reminded her greatly of Nabokov’s. Not sure what she really meant by that. Unbeknownst to her, this is actually how I slowly build on ideas for writings—although I use old receipts.
