== Fine Liners ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Fine liners are awesome. That's some of my favorite writing pens. Just, if for some reason it makes my handwriting look better because they have a more defined edge on the pen than, say, anything with a ball in the tip, you get a more rounded edge, of course. And, you know, I generally like the black inks of any fine liner, especially in, like, a bullet journal or any type of system like that. I think it's really fantastic. I'm using fountain pens in mine. And one day, maybe we'll get you to dabble in fountain pens. We'll have to send you something to check out on that. And you can get into that. Absolutely.

'''Ryder Carroll:''' I mean, I used to play around with fountain pens. My father's a huge fan. He has dozens. And, yeah, I used to use them to practice calligraphy. So, I got different kinds of nibs that had, like, cut tips. I don't know what the actual term is. I apologize. But, yeah, I always loved doing that. But, you know, spending, like, 15 minutes drawing, like, an F. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And that's what a lot of people do these days. Oh, it's wonderful.

'''Ryder Carroll:''' It's a great way to spend some time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is. It is. It's very meditative, like everything else we do, like, with our analog tools. That's why we like them. It takes us to a different place and gives us a sense of calm. And I think we can kind of all relate to that. Well, Ryder, I know your time is valuable. And I appreciate you spending some of that with us today. I know the listeners really appreciate everything that you've done with the Bullet Journal. And I know we do, too. And we really appreciate you sharing the story and some of the knowledge you have on this. And just thank you so much for coming on and sharing that with us today.

'''Ryder Carroll:''' Thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And where can, if people want to go read more, find you, talk to you online, what's the best places for them to do that?

'''Ryder Carroll:''' Well, for everything Bullet Journal, it's bulletjournal.com. Same thing on Instagram, which you can see a wide gamut of different styles, which is great. And that's at Bullet Journal. And then for me personally, it's rydercarroll.com.
