Hi Fediverse!

Do you have a favorite notebook to write in? Preferably something not much smaller than 8.5 by 11 inches, lined, and that stays open.

I'm thinking this? (Doesn't have to be a composition notebook though.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PL4ZTC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2MB9B94L254TB&psc=1 https://octodon.social/media/X0yt-wHU4veyHuPFijo

Also accepting ideas for pens and/or mechanical pencils that you LOVE...

@schlink pen of choice: https://www.jetpens.com/Pilot-Vanishing-Point-Fountain-Pen-Black-Matte-Fine-Nib/pd/7246

stupid expensive compared to the $2-3 fine point pigment markers i usually use (which are in turn stupid expensive compared to a package of bics) but i put off buying one for years and it's the nicest writing implement i've ever owned.

@brennen whoa, cool. Dunno if I can splurge on that... maybe a Christmas present to myself ha

@schlink it's kinda over the top, but if you like fountain pens, it's pretty neat.

(fountain pens are kind of like watches - you can spend, like, car or house down payment money if you are a rich person who wants a status symbol, but you can spend $10 - $200 and get something that on a practical level is really good and maybe even better than most of the expensive stuff.)
