The pic above and scan below are from my “Commonplace/Catch-all” journal that I have been using for a while now. I use it to keep track of certain ongoing things like eBay sales, writing practice (which I desperately need to do more of), pen and notebook wish lists, and some notes or quotes that I might want to keep for future use or reference. This page is just writing practice. Also, I wanted to see how much of Genesis I could comfortably fit on a single page. I’m pretty sure I could write 3 lines within the 6mm ruling if I only used my Slicci .25mm. I used several gel pens at differnent times on this particular page.

I write small because I feel that I have more control that way (although it might not look like it here). When I start to make bigger letters my hand really starts going all over the place. Actually, if I right for a long period of time, my writing gets worse. I definitely need to work on my control. Basically, I need to practice enough to fill about 10 more notebooks to see improvement. And those new 5.5mm ruled Habanas are looking pretty tempting. I think it’s time for me to send some more child support over to Brian again.
Anyway, the standard size I write is just a little bigger than what you see here which is why I prefer smaller ruled paper and notebooks. I know it’ll never look as neat as Angela‘s writing, but I’ll just keep practicing anyway.
How small do you write?
Very cool!
…but didn’t the the killer in “SEVEN” write the exact same way in his journals???
Maybe, but he used those Mead Composition Notebooks. Those are wide-ruled, have cheap paper, and a cheap cardboard-like cover. But, I do think that it is one of the best examples of journaling in a movie. He was writing down very detailed, emotionally rich accounts of what was going on in his everyday life and he had hundreds and hundreds of journals. His only fault was that none of the journals or entries were dated. And the fact that he was torturing and killing people.
Nice, I’ve got some note pages from college like that! And are you left-handed? Your writing has a lefty style back-slant.
No, I’m right-handed. And, don’t say that I lean to the left.
