  Haha, I feel like crap! Hope this is just allergies gone haywire rather than an actual cold.

  WELP. The NaNoWriMo Book In You journal and a small set of YWP pencils arrived today, so I’m gonna blab about stuff like last year.

  • Covers are very rigid! Even more so than last year. I was shocked.
  • Ruling has been reduced to 6mm!
  • Fountain pen users beware: It’s far less friendly than expected, and actually a big downgrade from last year. Show-through that makes the back of the page unusable, plenty of blood dots, and significant feathering. (Ever seen the ink run off in little hairline strands away from the letters? Yeah, this notebook does that.) Glad I hadn’t planned on using my pens in it.
  • Paper’s very smooth, with rounded edges. Feels nice. Obviously it’s quite off-white this year, but to be more precise the color is a little lighter and yellower than a Moleskine notebook.
  • The new feature not mentioned in the product blurb: a page in the front where you can write your name and address. Nice touch.
  • The manufacturer’s name is impressed into the back of the notebook—”Castelli”. This is the exact notebook the OLL had customized. Just some extra information for funsies ❤

  The pencils are…standard scholastic-grade pencils. I should have known better than to expect something more upscale, since they were made for the Young Writer’s Program. And I ain’t mad that they’re not Blackwings or Hi-Unis or Mono 100s or whatever…but it’s unfortunate that they’re not on par with my Ippos. I mean, the lead broke twice when I first started sharpening one.

  …But hey, there’s a novel inside! I’ll never buy them again, but it’ll be fun to see how many I can go through before December.

  Overall I’m pleased. Now to figure out how to outline…

  Technically this isn’t all I’ve done in the past few days, but it’s pretty close!
