I still have a bunch if anyone wants one or some.<br /><br />I take great amusement in the fact that Goldberg stresses not falling victim to the creativity-strangling "monkey mind", and right there on the NaNo participant logo is a flippin' monkey.Machines of Loving Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286532870875619199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-25216217836996404492010-10-21T20:50:06.660-07:002010-10-21T20:50:06.660-07:00One ramble is in the mail.

My handwritten NaNo two years back started with a Circa notebook made with this paper.<br /><br />And it's not just that the thick paper prevents bleed-through, it's that whatever they do to finish the surface of the paper...it's magic. Wonderfully smooth, no feathering, no bleeding, nothing. And unlike many of the other papers that don't feather or bleed, ink seems to dry quickly. (In contrast, I gave up on using the also highly recommended Black n' Red because in the one notebook I bought, I ended by resorting to ballpoint because fountain pen ink could go HOURS without drying. Really. The fountain pen pages are one big schmear.) I really like the HP paper, in case that's not blatantly obvious.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-72584805504942539882010-10-20T19:50:05.543-07:002010-10-20T19:50:05.543-07:00@LFP: You are a pusher, but that's not a bad t...@LFP: You are a pusher, but that's not a bad thing in my book. That HP paper comes highly recommended by the Rollabind/Circa crowd because of the sturdiness (required for disc-binding.) Considering you'd pay that price for 20 sheets of "the good stuff" and it's actually quite reasonable. Have you used it with pens? I suppose the thickness would keep the ink bleed to a minimum.<br /><br />@Rcihard: blank books are not the problem, nor are lined and girdded ones, as I take every opportunity to snatch up hopeful-looking ones. I'm currently enjoying the Rhodia Webnotebook -- the "webbie" -- which I <a href="http://clickthing.blogspot.com/2010/08/notebook-review-and-paper-prize-palooza.html" rel="nofollow">reviewed</a> this summer. For on-the-go writing, it's outstanding. But for letter-writing... not so much.<br /><br />I'm realizing now that the drawing tablet paper is probably still too thick to put a lot of sheets into a single envelope -- 98 pound paper! It was inexpensive, though, and I can always pull out sheets and type on them if needed.mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-59453717948793801962010-10-20T18:29:25.294-07:002010-10-20T18:29:25.294-07:00If you ever want to treat yourself to a fancy Ital...If you ever want to treat yourself to a fancy Italian blank book, I recommend epica.com.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-53587710743681068482010-10-20T16:06:21.425-07:002010-10-20T16:06:21.425-07:00I was going to highly recommend HP's Premium C...I was going to highly recommend <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828800609" rel="nofollow">HP's Premium Choice LaserJet paper</a> as stationery, provided you can swing the initial outlay and/or can find it very on-sale. But on further consideration, while it is wondrous paper, it may not be the best for letters. It'd be like mailing a brick. Airmail-worthy it is not. But it's awfully, awfully nice to write on with fountain pen. And if you're curious in spite of the weight...shoot me a message back channel and I'd be happy to send you a sample. I have lots!<br /><br />Does this make me a paper pusher?Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.com
