Hello readers,
My apologies for not posting anything sooner, I have been busy with some non-pen things. I have still been using my pens on a regular basis, but I have now misplaced my ink swatch notebook. Since I can’t put my new inks in to my book, I am having a hard time sharing my thoughts on them. This brings me to the topic of this post. Do I just start a new book or do I continue looking for my old one?

I realized that I started that notebook back just shortly after I started this blog, which was a year ago now. It was really nice having all of the inks that I had used in there, so that I could look back over the choices I made throughout the year. I find myself missing the notebook almost as much as I miss friends I haven’t seen in a while. Another reason that I miss that notebook so much is the fact that it has my initial thoughts for the Diamine Inkvent for last year.

I use Maruman Mnemosyne B5 dot grid notebooks for my ink swatches, so it isn’t too expensive to replace. I also still have nearly all of the inks that I had put in the old one, so it shouldn’t be too hard for me to recreate it. I can also look back at some of my older posts, just to make sure that I can put the Inkvent inks back in the correct order.

Now that you have heard my thoughts on this situation, what are your thoughts? Do you think that I am just crazy for wanting my old note book back? Would you just start a new one and not even think about the old one?

That pretty much does it for this post. I will be working on my review of my new TWSBI pen, so that should be up before too long. I don’t know what I will be discussing after that, but I am still working on it. Until next time. Stay happy and healthy, and keep on learning!

I get that this is a hard decision! I guess, for me, it would depend on how likely you are you find it if you continue looking. In my experience, when I give up looking for something I’ve lost, I’m much more likely to find it.
What would you do if you found it after you started a new notebook? If that would make you more upset, then I’d keep looking for a while!
