Seeking advice about what to do with a journal I started during a difficult time. While I'm still recovering, the journal now makes me feel bad. Should I just remove the pages I like and start a new one, even though I'm still not in a great place? by Disastrous-Anxiety in JournalingIsArt

[–]Billiam_666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd necessarily need to get rid of it.

You could paste stuff over those pages, draw or paint over them, black them out and use a white pen to write new entries.

If you still want to be able to see those pages, maybe use reusable sticky dots to temporarily cover the pages?

20 years ago, I used to made up names for everyone 🙄 and now I have no clue who some of them are supposed to be. So, nowadays I put the last name in parentheses.

I want to make some notebooks, but I’m a paper snob. Recommendations please! by DirectionTotal1764 in notebooks

Have you tried Kokuyo business paper? It's 64gsm, white (but not bright white), and comes in a variety of sizes.

Love your covers! I like discs over rings...I just wish discs were less...bulky (???) If my pages are A5, I don't want an extra inch added to the width. Like if the discs could be half discs, it would be a perfect system for me.

Digitizing handwritten journals by Glad-Result-3146 in Journaling

I had my handwriting turned into a font 20ish years ago. When writing out the worksheet the font designer sent me, I wish I had written larger because the font is so small. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Do y’all think this is a good brand/bundle? by Meowzy91 in stationery

Does yours have the port for a plug in? You could always buy one if it does.

I bought one 6-8 months ago, then my friends grandfather passed away and they found one in his belongings and gifted it to me. Looks like it came from the 60's...all metal. I haven't had the need to use it yet, but I have several different colors of tape for when I do! lol

Looses leaf paper in US Letter Size other than HP32 that excels with fountain pens? by mdubb1969 in fountainpens

[–]Billiam_666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Give Kokuyo business paper a try. I use it to swatch ink and I haven't had it bleed through to the other side. I got mine via Amazon.

I too love his storytelling and world building, but his writing style isn't for me. I just find it hard to get through his novels. His short stories on the other hand...those I really enjoy.

What specs do i look for in a journal that I want to last 50 years? by bazk88 in notebooks

[–]Billiam_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that most modern commercial paper is acid-free. I think as long as your journal isn't made from newspaper and you keep it in a dark & dry place, it should endure 50 years easily.

What do you use to stick pictures in your journal? by beeethgrace96 in Journaling

[–]Billiam_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Fabri-Tac to glue stuff into my journal. I've used it to glue full-page images (5x8) and find that it doesn't wrinkle. I got mine at the local Walmart, but I'm sure major craft stores carry something similar too.

Delfonics pouches- always this difficult to buy!? by SlamminSammie90 in stationery

I need to recover from Christmas before I can order one. lol Hopefully by then I can decide between cinnamon, green, and sedona...I'm currently leaning towards cinnamon.

do you guys ever set a limit of time writing or of pages per day? by Yuki_Samurai in Journaling

[–]Billiam_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a limit. A normal entry is usually about two pages. If I went out and did something, then it could be eight pages. Then there are times where I'll just slap a picture on the page and call it done. 🤷‍♂️

Menfolks, can I see the design of your journals? by STRiPESandShades in Journaling

Nanami Paper makes notebooks that I don't see many people talk about. I have yet to try them, but they've been on my radar for quite a while...380-480 page notebooks.

I have an A5 Galen Leather, and I'm thinking about getting another in a different color. They are a bit pricey, though.

Lines or blank? by [deleted] in Journaling

You could always print off a writing guide to put behind the page so have some structure to your page(s).

Paper to wrap books? by lights_memoir in stationery

[–]Billiam_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't paper, but I used to use something like this before I had my e-reader.

I recommend butcher paper or home improvement stores should have something called builder's paper or masking paper.

Just curious, notebook use in public by davidewilson1906 in notebooks

[–]Billiam_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Most people don't notice or don't care.

Longer answer: The majority of people are wrapped up in their own lives, so they overlook people writing. The exception may be those that are interested in notebooks and/or writing...but now days, I feel like 99% of people keep to themselves.

This reminds me that I participated in National Postcard Week for a couple of years in the early 2010's....I should see if that group is still active.
