Some people like to use a tablet, smart phone, or computer these days, when it comes to making plans, and such.
Personally, I just use a pen and paper… call me old school! Now, it’s not as easy as you might think, writing things out like I did when I was young. There’s far more pens, pencils, crayons, and paint brushes to pick from these days. Don’t get me started on the paper one might consider using to write down my goals. I would have then have to write out an explanation of the best paper products available… I’d have to plan a goal just to locate my favorite paper!
This simple planning question is fast becoming a journaling addict’s mountain to climb. There are forests filled with differing choices of pens, pencils and crayons, resembling a Doctor Seuss story! Red pens, blue pens, green eggs and ham pens…
If I can manage to find my favorite pen to write out my goals, we haven’t even made it to paper choices yet! Do we want loose paper, or paper in a pad… what about colors, textures, and paper thickness?
Just great! Now, not only am I out of good paper, but I’ve got a handful of pens that I can’t decide on. I haven’t even figured out what goal I wanted to plan for because I haven’t had my tea yet… stand down WordPress, stand down!

Ok! I’m back. What were we talking about? Oh, right! Goals and plans, plans and goals… ummmmmmm….
So………..
…….. how bout those cookies?

100% ! even if, although half way through expressing a very perplexing thought, I’ll tear the contents from existing if and when I don’t like the way I wrote it😅😏😔✍️😄

Maybe we should use invisible ink when we’re not sure of a thought. Maybe we could save paper, lol 😆

I LOVE writing with a fountain pen. There’s something about the glistening wet ink on the page, shimmering in the light, and the light scratching sound of the nib.
But fountain pens also means more expensive paper to prevent bleed-thru.

Pens actually make me very happy! Using those light disposable ones feels all wrong. I crave a pen with weight in it, both literally and figuratively. It has to have the right texture, thickness, and color. The color is important in both the pen and the ink. I also get annoyed if they leak on the paper, or bleed through to the back of the paper. I know.,… I have far too much time on my hands, and sometimes a bit of ink! Hugs

My friend, that’s not too much time on your hands—that’s refined taste in your fingers! A good pen is like a good friend: reliable, smooth, and doesn’t leak on you halfway through. May your ink always flow where it should and your pages stay unblemished. Hugs! ✨🖊️

How about writing letters? What’s your preference ? I have not received one in handwriting for two years.

I vaguely remember there once existed a strange object called a typewriter that I once used to type them.
