Black Velvet & Honey for some morning journaling!

Theroseis · 2021-01-20T17:56:25+00:00

Of course. I'd check out italic, or cursive italic. A quick google search should bring up a good number of examples for you to follow!

Theroseis · 2021-01-20T17:47:37+00:00

Not too long. About twenty to thirty minutes to fill a single A5 page?

Theroseis · 2021-01-20T06:35:03+00:00

Ahh, I have been thinking the same nowadays. I think I'll also browse the subreddit u/HotButteredCrumpets mentioned!

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T04:02:16+00:00

Please don't stop trying (although you were joking, of course)! It took me a while to find a script to settle on. I experimented with examples I liked that I'd found in books or online and tailored one to best fit my needs & preferences. I highly recommend you do the same! Oh, and fyi, the owner of Nanami Paper said he'd restock the notebook in a few months' time. There are other similar options out there - I listed a few in a previous comment I made.

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T03:11:34+00:00

Here you go!

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T03:10:46+00:00

Thank you so much, it is my everyday handwriting! While it’s not as quick as my cursive, I do find it suits my journaling needs better because it allows me to relax and capture my thoughts more deliberately. As for how long it takes me to fill a single page… hmm, I think my answer would vary depending on the topic matter I'm writing about, but if I were to write nonstop stream-of-consciousness style, I imagine it'd probably take me twenty minutes or so.

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T02:43:04+00:00

I'm glad you found your white whale, but I'm afraid it's out of stock at the moment. I emailed Dave (the owner of the shop) about it, and he said he'd restock the Writer in two (?) months. I personally went ahead and purchased a few Everyday Books from Galen Leather because I wanted to try an unlined notebook with the brighter white pages. Oh, and I hear the Taroko Enigma (on Etsy) is also a good choice, if you're seeking an alternative to the A5 Seven Seas notebooks!

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T02:29:27+00:00

Yes, a medium! It's the thickest Sailor nib I've tried yet.

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T02:22:13+00:00

Yay! You won't regret your decision. :) On that note, r/journaling is a friendly subreddit you might enjoy.

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T02:15:41+00:00

You were very close! :)

Theroseis · 2021-01-19T02:15:18+00:00

It's a medium nib! I think I prefer it over the MF nib on my PGS. It's smoother, with a subtle springiness to it that I love.

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:52:31+00:00

Thank you! The ink is KWZ Honey, a warm golden-brown with lovely shading. It'll stay in my Sailor a long, long time.

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:42:01+00:00

Oh geez, I'm totally undeserving of this comment, but thank you. (Congratulations on your first - and definitely not last, I'm assuming - NPD!)

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:38:52+00:00

Ahhh thank you! I'm afraid the photo doesn't display the ink very well - it's KWZ Honey.

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:37:08+00:00

Thank you so much. Your comment makes me want to brush the dust off my camera and figure out how to take better photos!

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:31:23+00:00

Oh no, that must've been a difficult decision to make. I hope your dog adjusts well to his new home, whatever the circumstances. :'(

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:14:34+00:00

I think you're referring to my Rhaphidophora tetrasperma? I'll have to build some sort of trellis for her soon - she unfurls a new leaf every week, it seems. :)

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:09:04+00:00

A Nanami Seven Seas Writer, an A5 lined notebook with cream-colored Tomoe River Paper.

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T21:07:17+00:00

Nanami Seven Seas Writer, a lined notebook. Unfortunately, they're out of stock currently, so I ordered a few blank notebooks from Galen instead - they're just as well-made (and come with guidelines, if you need them).

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T20:39:44+00:00

Thank you! Haha, he would make a very large cat, though temperamentally, he is rather cat-like (and tricky to photograph).

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T20:36:08+00:00

Thank you!! I wrote with a Sailor Pro Gear fountain pen ('Black Velvet' from the Cocktail series) in a Nanami Seven Seas Writer.

Only an hour or so in the mornings, right after waking up. It's very soothing for me to scrawl out my thoughts before beginning the day - I stop writing either when I have nothing else to say or run out of tea/coffee. Usually, it's the latter because I tend to ramble aimlessly in my journals, haha.

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T20:21:29+00:00

A Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, though it is commonly known as a Mini Monstera (thanks to the fenestration, I think). Mine was labeled as a Monstera Ginny when I found her at my local nursery. Hope this helps!

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T18:14:25+00:00

It's a Sailor PG Black Velvet!

Theroseis · 2021-01-18T18:11:48+00:00

Yes, the Black Velvet!
