Editing The Pen Addict 340/transcript (section)

== Bullet Journaling Transition ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, that's actually something I want to talk about. And I don't know if it's worth talking about with just you and I, um, even getting, you know, someone like Adina on who's trying to do this or even having a writer back on because he just put up a post yesterday or two days ago, but maybe like the 31st of the first, I think it was called back to basics. And it was a post that he wrote. It was exceptional. Like he, like, you know, he was doing his book tour and he basically, you know, someone came up to him and he knew her from like all of us. And he wrote one of her Instagram posts, um, about bullet journaling. And he said, why did you stop? And she's like, I, I, she had stopped doing it. And she was essentially like, well, I hated all of the fanciness basically of it. And, you know, so I just couldn't do it anymore. And like, it was, I was spending too much time trying to make it look good and using what it was usually for. So it was, it was a whole article about that. And it was, it was a really, really good article I felt. So we'll put that in the show notes, but that's something I'd like to explore, um, with someone that's not you or I one of these days, because we're on the same page.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Somebody who's actually doing it, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Who's actually doing bullet journaling, which neither me or you are. Yeah. But we'll, uh, I'll grab that post and we can, we can put it, pop it in there. Yeah. Pop it in the show notes for someone to read. I thought it was fan. I thought it was very good for a writer to write something like this. I enjoyed it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, that is cool. I mean, I would be interested to have him back on the show at some point because his world seems to continue changing so massively.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's nonstop.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's amazing. Yeah. It's a cool guy. Uh, also as well, like just, I want to thin the herd a little bit again, but I feel like this is not really a resolution as much as like at some point every year I need to maybe get rid of some stuff. Give away some stuff, sell some stuff, just clear out, uh, some, some of the stuff that I've accumulated over the year previous, um, which I'm going to do at some point soon.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Absolutely. I'm, I'm totally with you on that. And we'll talk about it a little bit more in, in not exactly thinning the herd, but being more, um, particular about what joins the herd.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Speaking of which though, like one, for me, one of the reasons, one of the reasons, since I've been the herd is so I can have more space to bring new stuff in and a great place to get that new stuff is at pen chalet pen chalet have all of the pens you're looking for.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So the Nemo scene singularity is a very popular pen in like the entry level price range, normally around $15 to $20. The price Ron has here, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say. It's best not to. I think sometimes I've learned. I've learned. But the reason I'm bringing this up, because this is something that's kind of perfect for like my ink sampling. You can get this pen in so many different nib sizes to test with that, you know, you could buy three of these for what you'd buy like one, you know, Twisby or something like that for. And you can use all kinds of different nib sizes for all kinds of different testing. You can even buy these to like player. I know people will buy these in bulk and play around with like nib modifications, you know, buy like a medium nib and try to modify it into a different shape where you're not getting like caught off guard by, you know, using some crazy expensive nib. It's kind of a really good tester type pen. And it's a good quality pen. Anyway, I've tested some of these out. We've reviewed them on the blog. They always do well. And the price is redonkulous, as they say.
