What does "わけでもない" mean in this sentence:

>
> 聞いただけでは忘れてしまうことがあるので、最近はつねにメモをとるようにしています。でも、いつも紙とペンを持っているわけでもないので根本的なところから変えようとしっかり睡眠をとったり

Is it わけ (referencing to the circumstance of not having pen and paper) + でもない?
Or is it just わけではない with も instead of は.

question
meaning parsing
How can I parse わけでもない?
わけ is attached to the phrase いつも紙とペンを持っている, in other words `that/the case that
i will always have a pen and paper`

でもない is modifying わけ, in that `it is not really that わけ`

putting the two together, `it's not the case that i will always have a pen and
paper`

in terms of the difference between も and は in this sentence for でもない・ではない,
from [Meaning of
「という訳でもないのだが」](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/21747/meaning-
of-%E3%81%A8%E3%81%84%E3%81%86%E8%A8%B3%E3%81%A7%E3%82%82%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%AE%E3%81%A0%E3%81%8C)
:

> "～という訳ではない" is a common set phrase which corresponds to "That is not to say
> ～" or "That doesn't mean ～", referring to what was already stated. Using
> でもない instead of ではない adds "not in particular" or "not really" feelings to
> the sentence.

I think this somewhat applies here. The basic grammar is ではない but でもない sounds
more natural because でも instead of では has a nuance of "even" because of the
"also" aspect of も.

So to give a more colloquial translation, "It's not like I'll always have a
pen and paper" as opposed to "I will not always have a pen and paper"
