I'm A Sad, Pathetic Stationery Junkie.

I think you should start a new topic for How to Set Up a Notebook.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I got a composition notebook in a grocery pickup order. I can’t resist space themes. 
 

How do you start a notebook?

In the beginning...

“Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today, because if you do it today and like it, you can do again tomorrow!”

Actually it was kind of dark too!

I am wondering (wandering too) does all of this back and forth banter make us "lit-wits"?

or am I just being to picky?

Oh, I see what you did there. It was a dark and stormy night. A shot rang out. The Literary Ace in action. Snoopy power!

It's my dogged persuit of "pun-ishment!"

I think I will quit for now anyway.

Don't quit.  We need this sort of lighthearted play.

A lot of times Snoopy only got as far as “It was a dark and stormy night.” At some point, we got a fuller story. A ship even appeared on the horizon in it. 
 

Some nights, with snow on the ground, and cloud cover, are not that dark.

Or as Frasier Crane said in a Cheers episode:  “Are you saying that I’m redundant, that I repeat myself, that I say things over and over?”

Seconded.

 

But the question does remind me of another one...

 

Question: How do you eat an elephant?

Answer: One bite at a time.

OK so if the great @amberleadavisand @essayfairethink that would make a good topic, will you help me with the title, and maybe how to start it?   All I can think of is “so you got a new notebook.  How are you going to start it?”

How to start using that new notebook.

Ideas for starting in a new notebook.

So you chose which new notebook to use next. What's on the first page?

(just some topics that would draw me in).

Thank you @mhguda  more great members helping is truly welcome. I like your third option to start the post.  Good title options too. I figure the title has to be short enough, but be able to grab readers interested in this particular topic. 
 

I’m surprised this hasn’t come up in threads before.

I look forward to joining this one, @MisfitMaybe we haven't talked about how we start our notebooks, but I think we do love talking about them, and showing them off! and I love reading about how others find great notebooks, great paper, and great creative uses of all of that.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
