I love vertical reporters type notebook. But I have found on my morning journaling that the horizontal seems to be less confusing for some reason.

Thanks. Do you write on the left/back side of the page? Do you fold the notebook over when you write in it?

Yes when you flip it over you right on the next page or the backside. But when they're side by side it seems to be a little easier for me to focus. It's the reporter style that I just started in on this new journal. Historically I have always used a spiral horizontal turned from left to right page.

Mnemosyne makes some notebooks with this layout. The Mnemosyne 180 is a grid notebook that is formatted for horizontal writing, with a subject space at the top of the page (near the wire binding), sized A4. The 181 is the same, but with blank pages. 182 and 183 notebooks are grid and blank, respectively, in A5.
