You do not need special equipment to write (nor a degree) just a pen or pencil that writes and some paper.
You can write anywhere or on anything available. No special journal or special places. Anywhere. No excuses. All those specials conditions just get in the way.
I always carry two Bic pens on me (in case one peters out). They are cheap. No special or favorite pen. I write in blank books. They are plain notebooks.
I try to get different colored ones and always keep the most recent in the same place. But if my “muse” is telling me to write and I am not near my journal I grab the nearest paper within reach whatever it is wherever it is.
I am not bound by my journals. Again, you do not need special equipment to write. No special degrees. Just do it. Everything else is excuses.

The reason I am still writing is simple: it matters. Even after forty years plus I am still at it. In the beginning, it was letters, then journals now my blog.
There has always been someone else out there who I was writing for even if that person never read the piece–at least one person.
An audience is important; but nevertheless I write for me. Sometimes I solve problems, others times I focus my concerns. I am aware that writing is one big way by which I express myself.
Through out the years there always has been an invisible audience. Sometimes there was only one but that was enough.
I am always reaching out to that audience and I can not always tell you who they are but I do. The only important thing I need to know: it still matters so I continue to write.
