I usually use a pencil when I copy morse code. I have some cheap yellow pencils where the lead is not centered in the wooden part. Those sharpen so that the point is not centered. I have some others, round ones, which sharpen up really nicely. I have an electric pencil sharpener.
I buy the notebooks from Walgreens or WalMart after the back-to-school sales are over. You can get either bound or spiral notebooks for a buck each. I use them to copy down the CW when I am listening or having a conversation. I may not write down everything, but most of it anyway. Over the years I have gone from all caps to a mix of cursive and printed lower case letters.
I try to always write down the callsign, frequency and date/time. I also have a logbook where I put the particulars. If I forget, or mess up the log, I can usually find it in my notebook.
