Nara, what notebook should a fountain pen noobie like myself buy if not Moleskine? I just bought a Moleskine from Barnes and Nobles but I have not used it yet. Should I return it?
First off, I am always so fucking giddy to answer pen/notebook related questions as;jdahskjdn
My sweet summer child, thank you for coming to me with your query. I shall endeavor to assist you in your fountain-pen paper journey!
To answer your second question first: yes. Return the Moleskine. This comes from someone who used them for YEARS (and I still do, because people keep gifting them to me, and I'm not about to say no to free notebooks, even if they are shit and make a $500 fountain pen write like a piping bag spilling motor oil onto cotton).
But don't despair! There is more out there -- more specifically, under the cut. Buckle up!
