Notebooks & Writing - April 2020

In this video I talk about writing (pen pal writing, journaling and notetaking) and specifically - which notebooks I'm using in April of 2020 and how pen pal writing and note-taking is going too! I can't believe I forgot to mention my gratitude journal - I had it right with me (it even appears in the thumbnail - but I just plain forgot to mention it but I still write regularly in it and I jot down gratitude randomly in my bullet journal as well. Oh well, most subscribers have seen my gratitude set up recently anyway!
During the "stay home" order for the Pandemic, writing in my Common Place Book (note taking for studying preparedness, & medical & spiritual/scientific issues especially) has increased and writing in my Decision Journal decreased thus far. I use primarily my A5 Bullet Journal and pocket size Common Place Book. I find a lot of peace by studying various subjects. Sometimes weeks later I can hardly believe some of the paths I go down with my studying but it never fails that I learn things and process life better if I'm expanding my knowledge in some way everyday. Currently I'm really enjoying reading about preparedness and I have ordered this book about a persons experience of living thru the economic collapse in Argentina:

The 27 Wildest Days writing project I signed up for with Laurie Wagner (she is offering this free) is really awesome: 27 video prompts via email (one a day - you write at your own pace) - and I'm enjoying it a lot. Here is her Instagram - you can find links there:

Notebooks & Pens Mentioned:
Leuchtturm 1917 dot grid A5 notebook in black (new one ready to go is the same but color is Azure)
Dingbats Pocket size lined notebook with 100gsm coated paper (very fountain pen friendly!)
Stifflexible notebook (lined) with sugar skull (not very fountain pen friendly - I'm using alternate pens in this one for brain dump style writing!
Lochby Field Journal (A5 cover not shown this time but this is what I keep my bullet journal in and I love this cover!)
PEN: My favorite fountain pen and ink combo this month is: Moonman M600S - Purple - Broad JoWo nib and Blackstone Barrister Violet ink.
Pen Case: I'm storing my pens in a purple Nock Sinclair pen case (I have also been using my Rickshaw Inktopus pen roll.)
Here is my review of the ink I'm enjoying this month:
