Yep, it's a fine nib, but it's very wet so it writes like a medium nib compared to other brands. It's a beautiful pen, but sometimes I wish it was a little bigger, like an M800.

I don't get to my media journal on time so ...I have a cheater notebook. Messy lists of my non-youtube media consumption and book reviews as I finish them. I don't write a lot for any book (several to a page in my "real" journal) but copying over what I felt when I finished it feels nice. If I wait a month or more the commentary is similar to "MC did a thing that annoyed me, merry band of friends redeemed book, ending was plot armor riddled tidying." That makes no sense a year later lol
@AsToldbyJoey26 күн бұрын
A cheater notebook is a great idea! I tend to write a few lines on scrap paper to remind myself what I want to journal about later. I find it especially hard to write reviews on books that are only okay. If I don't feel strongly about it one way or another, I have little to say. Now you have me wanting to start a journal on the TV and movies I watch. As if I need another one! lol

I like how you edit, what you have to say, and the pacing of your videos. I'll probably watch them all. I mean, I'm not even remotely into fountain pens but I liked your videos on pens and inks. I love the swatches you have on small cards and a ring, what a fun pop of color. I have some tasks that I'm supposed to do and always seemed to find a way to not do them. I spent Q1 with planners for the first time and I'm going to try and determine which blocks of certain days could be used better. Like if I had plans for 100 crochet book sleeves, I'd be breaking that down into step by step what gets done for each. Then figuring which steps can be batched. Then telling myself "on Tuesday complete steps one to three for the first ten sleeves". Breaking it down like that gets me in the whole "work" mode and I'll typically go longer. Maybe telling yourself to review 10 pages on a Thursday could help? I'm very good at not doing what would actually benefit me in the future. At the end of last year I was watching a lot of planning/bujo videos and the idea of doing a task or a chore for "future me" kinda stuck. Well, at first I dismissed it as dumb, but then decided to try it. I like your videos a lot. I hope you're able to continue.

Thank you! I try to keep my videos short and (hopefully) entertaining so they’ll appeal to a broader audience even if it’s a niche subject like fountain pens.
