Journaling is a non-comparative hobby
The energy for personal writing proved lacking. I know, rationally, that comparing quantities of journaling across weeks is unfair. For me: successful journaling is about starting again — whenever “again” happens to be.

All inked up, suited up, and ready for fancy writing
I’m carrying a serious look into the coming week. Three pens in black and white and chrome. One’s suit pants, suit jacket and shoes. A white and black Visconti. One’s dress shirt.

Yea, but how do you use that? The fabulous, insightful mundanity of ‘how I’m using my collection’ posts
Fellow stationery bloggers are wonderful resources when I’m bereft of creative currently inked plans. Some of my favorite post series highlight how folks apply their currently inked outfits.

And, of course, stepping into someone else’s world for a bit is worlds of fun.
