    Liv,
    Of course, I should have watched this episode first, but as circumstances dictated, the - second was the first 🙄. However, not to worry. The Twone booklets are indeed a bargain for the fiscal outlay; admittedly, they are a little small for my taste - I would only use this size for occasional days out, & where note taking would be at a minimum. At just over one Dollar (US) it is impossible to go wrong, & again, the fact they are suitable enough quality for (my) beloved fountain pens - other than pencils, I write/draw with nothing else; I was never happy with gel or biros/rollerballs - & perhaps that's due to my being left handed (otherwise my handwriting resembles a trainwreck !); thankfully, I am an underwriter, vis-a-vis parallel or overwriter (hook hand), so the control is still absolutely mine.
    If I may make an observation or two - you do not seem to demonstrate your own handwriting on camera, & sililarly, nor do you employ cursive; I am aware that a number of States across the US no longer teach children to write in cursive - it is all print, which I do find a shame. Perhaps it is the new cultural imperative... ? I look forward to your next instlament of, 'Does It Bleed',
    Best,
    Andrew.

      Thank you for another comment! I appreciate you watching. I agree, these are on the small side but I enjoy using them for affirmations and gratitude.
      I have excluded video of me writing in an effort to keep the video short, but I will experiment with the next one and see how it goes!
      I do write in cursive - it feels only natural with fountain pens! However, you are right: I was briefly taught cursive in elementary school and then was never required to use it again. So I taught myself again a few years ago when I got into fountain pens. It’s come a long way but it’s still mostly illegible!

      Greetings, Liv,
      In regard to those smaller notebooks, I imagine they are indeed perfect for notelets to friends & family.
      In regard to Cursive handwriting, yes, fountain pens were made for such script -block capitals are so ugly - unless you're making an 'Out Of Order' sign 😉. I am sure your handwritten pages are perfectly legible - but of course, there should be no compulsion for you to write in front of the camera if it makes you feel uncomfortable; that said, I would hope you at least give it a go - it's always good to try something different, hey. I supppose I can count myself fortunate in that when I started school - it's all I ever really knew; foutain pens & pencils were all that was provided; we learnt cursive with a pencil initially, then began with a cheap, state-funded (Bic) cartridge fountain pen; the transition between lead & ink is not as wide as you might imagine - it certainly slowed down my handwriting - & in doing so, made my scribble more than legible; thereafter, it was merely a matter of practice.
      Enjoy the remainder of your day !
      Andrew.
