I received this journal for Christmas and am loving it so far. (The link SHOULD go to an Amazon page for Q&A a Day- 5 Year Journal.) It asks a simple question every day and gives you four lines to fill in your answer, with five years of blanks for each page. Example: Jan 7- "You are lucky; how so or not so?" June 27- "When was the last time you ate pizza? What kind?" Nov 16- "What are you obsessed with right now?" The paper is fountain pen friendly and smooth. I'm looking forward to seeing how my answers change over a 5-year span, and although I am the journaling type, I'm not the journal-every-day type. Maybe this will turn me into an every-dayer. Just thought I'd share!

Hmmm. Interesting. Not the type of journal I would normally use, but I like that it makes you think about what you're writing, and focuses your thoughts to the question at hand.

Maybe I should think about getting one of these for myself for next year, as a companion to my morning pages journal.

I guess the real question is, how FP friendly is the paper?

It's only Jan 7, so I haven't had much time with it, but I haven't experienced any bleed-through or spidering or anything of the sort. I'm pleased with it! The only thing about writing in it with a FP is that the lines are pretty small and don't give you too much space. My writing tends to be bigger with a fountain pen -even a fine point- so I have to choose what I say carefully so as not to run out of space.

I've been using a Pilot cartridge in a medium point Pilot Capless. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can figure out how (:

This seems quite interesting indeed! :) I've started a journal again yesterday. Maybe if I stay more or less true to it until the end of the year I'll consider getting one, it sounds like fun.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
