Do you have any advice on how to get one of these cuz my lil queer heart is SCREAMING
Oh how I wish I could connect you to this pen, sadly it was a limited run from @Gouletpens nearly 2 years ago. I HOPE they bring it back because I have a lot of people ask and it is too good not to do another run!
Lovely chill video ❤ I love the idea of the 5 year planner and writing something down about that day so you see it again over successive years, very cool
I heard about it on another channel and thought it was such a wonderful idea, and I am so enjoying the 5 year planner myself. It's been wonderful to track this year of change and travel with my family, and I look forward to looking back on it year after year.
Man I only write stuff for myself and have never tried to publish. After I finish writing a book (yes a book... as in a few hundred pages to 500+) I read it and edit it for small errors and rewrite parts I do not like... then read it again and do the same thing. Usually I do 3 rewrites then let it sit for a year and read and edit it again. See this is why I do not consider things that say JK Rowling would say during book signings and such as canon. To be canon it has to make it through this level of scrutiny and half the things she said would not, but most people do not understand what it takes to actually finish a book. And yes my first book I tried writing was a harry Potter book 8 at 550 pages. I basically took all the loose ends she never finished, had the kids go back to finish school, and wrote a pretty weak plot around it. That is why I will never publish. I am great at writing and horrible at making a good plot. Characters, background, descriptions, flow, feelings, dialog... all come naturally. A main plot... not so well. I have 3 books and nothing worth publishing.
Wow that's a LOT! If you find a story structure you like, such as save the cat or the three act structure, you could probably find the plot in the drama somewhere. That's a lot of work you have put forth NOT to try and put it out into the world. That takes dedication. Good on ya even if no one else ever reads it.
Yeeees! It's so pretty! The love jacked mine xD but hay, that and a decimo is what finally turned him over to the wonderful side of pens!
I love this ink, it is so subtle but GORGEOUS! Not to mention I am fascinated by Greek mythology, so I had to get a few inks just for the name sake alone! lol
@BooknBroom haha, I also got it for my love of mythology. :D I got the duo. Hades works well for the Love, he can use it at work and people compliment it a lot. I want to get the egyptian Inks next.. purely for the mythology. Egyptian stuff is my #1 but, I don't recall there being a purple.. which is why the Greek won out. xD
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations! When do we get to read it?
Thank you so much sweetheart! Not sure when it will be available yet I am doing the first round of rewrites now. I will likely be asking on the discord server for beta readers in the new year.
Where do you get that ink chart paper?!!!
From Atlas. I will link it here and if you use code Nicole at check out you will get 10% off just about anything you buy there. www.atlasstationers.com/products/wearingeul-ink-color-swatch-card-smile-cat?sca_ref=3935120.vUi26dCRUb
I would buy a library
Me too! A big beautiful library with floor to celing bookshelves and a rolling ladder and big windows.
Thank you this has given me the Idea to create a journal where is swatch all my color media, Pens, pencils, inks and paints. Christina 🦝
You are so welcome! This is the second year I am using this and it has been a great resource to go back to and see how different pens and inks preforms and my thoughts on them. I am so happy to hear that you found the video useful. Let me know when you set yours up. I would love to hear how it goes.
Man right? I hurt a favorite character in my fic and I cry every time I have to write something about it xD
One of my characters is an empath, so she's very emotionally sensitive and it hurts me sometimes when she walks through a crowd. Not to mention her story is also pretty complex. Just many nights with a tissue box.
Is it from aluminum? What is the weight?
It is made of aluminum, and I have never weighed it, but it has a nice weight to it, feels substantial in my hands and looks AMAZING!!
I have the same schedule pretty much every day. So it seems redundant to keep writing out the same things every week. So I’ve started using the weekly section to write down book notes. I have sticker books, so I use a larger sticker to cover the calendar in the upper left page. And then I use washi tape to cover the days/numbers across the top of the page.
Love that! I have already resorted to using my week for just checklists...lol
WE DID THIS ALL THREE YEARS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND I STILL REMEMBER HOW FUN AND AGRIVATING IT WAS. we would have to write 10000 words in november, then fir the rest of the year we would draw a cover and backcover, write out the back preview, and revise it which we all hated lol. thanks for the fun reminder of grade 6-8 ❤❤
That sounds amazing! What a fun idea. You are so welcome. I started doing NaNo with my kids last year.
Im going to start my log /journal soon, love the kaweco limited, i notice you have the clip on id like to ask if it leaves a mark on the pen or got scratches from the clip?
The first one I got I was NOT careful with AT ALL so it got pretty beat up. I pulled the clip off all the time and stuck it back on with different finishes to try things out so yes, my first Kaweco has some nicks and scratches but all my other ones (I have 12 at this point) have scratches on them. If I use a clip on it, I play with the colors before I put t on and once it is on it STAYS there.
I’m a self published author and I’m new to booktube😁
As a writer working on her first novel,, it's nice to meet you.
@@BooknBroom it’s nice to meet you too🙃
I’m a self published author and I’m new to booktube😁
Welcome!
Hi! I have been figuring out how I want to set up my first pen and ink journal~It is WAY past time and am very inspired by your labeling in your journal. Can you tell me where you got them? If you made them do you sell them? Or did you use a template you can point me to?…. I appreciate the information and look forward to more of your videos (I may or may not have been binging…)😊
Hi and welcome to the channel. They are just things I made up in photo shop. I took some line art and clipart and made the boarders and just put each month in a different one. I knew I would be using this all year, so I printed off all the months and just keep it in the back of the book. I don't have a template or anything, it was just done on the fly. I am so glad you found this video helpful, that always makes my day/
🎉
Isn't this one GORGEOUS!?! I wish they still had them, I want to get one for so many people...lol
Stunning 😍
I really love Navawl pens now, I am hooked!
What nib size did you go for?
I went for an <F> nib Did you get this pen also?
@@BooknBroom yes :) I believe I got mine in a flex fine How’s the fine nib holding up with the shimmer?
My god this is a beautiful pen. Where did you get it?
Atlas, sadly it was a limited edition. But it is beautiful.
The cream and purple Chatoyance is like laying on a beautiful comfy bed with silk sheets - wow is it gorgeous!! XD beautiful kilk in your collection! ❤
Right?! I love this pen so much. It is not only STUNNING but it is also such a smooth reliable writer. It fits in the hand perfectly and is always a pleasure to write with.
@@BooknBroom I’ve been pondering this pen for a long time but couldn’t justify the price haha! And then An even more perfect one came out at about 230, and I jumped on it! The Luna from endless pens! I love how the kilk writes, it is absolutely amazing!
@@KenchanKrafts Oh man, I missed it when it came out and only just saw it on Instagram last week and I was SOOO SAD to discover that I missed out on a stunning Kilk pen! I really do love the brand. They are so stunning and lovely to use. With this one, I am such a purple girl at heart that I couldn't NOT get this beautiful pen.
Omg I'm currently reading Crooked kingdom! OH THERE'S ALSO ERAGON!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad my bookshelves excite you as much as they do me. Crooked kingdom is great! What did you think of Six of crows?
I have yet to even open this one, but its so pretty!
It is such a lovely shade of purple and it has SHIMMER!!! I love a good shimmer ink.
And six of crows! I loved that book
Right?!? It is so good, I love all the characters. So flawed and wonderful!
Nice! Eragon, Tolkien, and Shadow and Bone on one shelf. All good reads 👍
VERY good reads! My bookshelves are my happy place full of wild adventures I have enjoyed many many times.
Where did you get this beauty?
Atlas Stationers, here's the link www.atlasstationers.com/products/nahvalur-narwhal-horizon-fountain-pen-wonderland-limited-edition?sca_ref=3935120.vUi26dCRUb
@@BooknBroom This one….The Atlas one was the Horizon Wonderland. This was someone else’s exclusive I think. I can’t remember who.
@@peggylove1 At this point I only buy from Atlas. I think it was a very limited run because I found the receipt for it, but the link is dead. I am so sorry.
Fourth wing ♥️
Oh I am excited to read it, but I prefer to read straight through a series once it's all out. How are you enjoying it so far?
Yeeeeees! I love this one, refiling it today! I use it for my daily word count journal. I add little blood drop doodles of Red Dragon ink and it's an amazing combination!
It is such a lovely color! I am so pleased with the inkvent calendar this year. I don't think there was a single color I DIDN"T like. I have never thought to add other inks or mix colors..I might have to give this a try.
What do you like in a pen? That will help in narrowing down what are the optimal pens to try. Congrats on hitting a 1k, Nice video.
First and foremost I look for a nice smooth writer. Second something that has a nice shape tot he body and it pretty. As far as how to narrow that down now, I am looking for pens that fill in the gaps in my collection. A new or interesting shape that still seems usable, a color I do not have yet that will allow me to use an ink I seldom get to try. But mostly, just something pretty or unique. Thank you so much. I could not have gotten there with out every one of you.
@@BooknBroom I don't know if you're for gold nibs, or what you are willing to spend, but I find the smoothest nibs are SCRIBOs and Pelikans. Pelikans do have some steel nibs, so that brings the price down. Some of the best, smoothest steel nibs are Faber-Castell, but outside of the E-Motion I find them very, very dull. I love smoother than smooth nibs. I like glass smooth, oil slick smooth LOL. I would only caution be selective, because otherwise you end up with a lot of pens. If you have a store or pen meets near you take advantage. Also, there is something called the Pelikan Hub that is in September in multiple cities around the world. Registration is open right now until June 24, I think. Check that out.
@@ironmic9244 I have heard good things about the Pelikan pens. The discord server posted the Hub for September as soon as it went live so I am all signed up for that as well as my daughter who is going to come with me. I love a smooth nib as well, that sounds like EXACTLY my jam. Thank you for all the info, that was very helpful.
I gotta say, I think the walnut by Noodlers is the best walnut I've tried so far. The shading is gorgeous. And I can build it up. Buuut I just ran out of the sample I had. XD I drew with it. And then lost the page. As usual. Lol I am happy to have another walnut though.
THis one also has some wonderful shading properties. No idea how it compares as I have not tried the Noodlers, but I will add it to my list and see if I can find it anywhere.
So beautiful. I have this one in glacier and the swirls in the resin are just so mesmerizing to look at. The entire Horizon lineup is beautiful.
Agreed! I love the shimmer and the colors in this pen. I can look at it in the light for hours!
Finally catching up on your stuff xD - I am SO sad the Gryffindor stamp isn't detachable Dx Slytherin myself :D Very curious, I've tried doing cards and paper as I also prefer writing cards versus texting, but its hard finding supplies that work with my fountain pens. Cards typically have that coating and it just doesn't dry, or the paper is too thin. I might find more information on it in other videos of yours, but if not is there a chance you could do a Video on the supplies you use for sending out letters? - the acrylic stamps are awesome! its all i have since i want to be able to see through where i place my stuff, im persnickety about that, so the blocks kinda bug me. Ive noticed Globeland brand has been the best so far, i have yet to have issue with the quality of them, as some others have had dips and gouges that make them uneven. 💜 *cant find the crown* lol
The crown is only accessible from a phone, but I have a few people who watch from mobile devices. I was so disappointed about the wax seal stamp being one solid block. It's still really beautiful though, and I can melt out the name and still use the lion. I do find a lot of pen pal kits have paper that either bleeds through to the other side or have some feathering on the edges. On the papers I got in this haul I find it's fine when I use an <F> nib. Or I used fountain pen paper for the letter and add in goodies to spice up the package. Card stalk is thick so no bleeding and I just accept that the ink will not be see in it's best light on it, but still be lovely.
Thank you for sharing your fountain pen journey. You have a wonderful voice to listen to.
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you. I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to say hello. I always enjoy meeting new people.
This is my favourite ink ever. I was *squee* ing with happiness over it. I keep it in my Schon pen in medium. I have to becareful not to use it up so quickly lol
It really is such a lovely ink. I totally understand! I had a few favourites from last year that I got full bottles of. They typically come out with full bottles of the inkvent colors come summer, so if you are really worried about not having enough in the small sample bottle, you could always pick up a big one.
@BooknBroom can't wait! I got Alpine from last year. Hoping to get the Spiced apple and green martini too. Odd colour that I have no idea what I'd use it fir though lol
@@KitSixx Spiced apple was a good one. I got Arctic Blast, Olive swirl and Appletini from last year and Winter Miracle and pink ice from the year before. They are all stunning inks though, you can't really go wrong with the calendars.
@@BooknBroom Oh man! The Olive Swirl! I'm not normally a green girl, but the colours were just marvelous! I only jut started with the year before last with the green Version. but It will surely be a yearly thing going forward. Do you have a favourite purple? I mainly use the Lilac scented ink cant remember who its from though.
New subscriber here💗 Such amazing goodies! So happy to have found your channel & love your warm welcoming😊 Great haul!!
Welcome! Thank you so much for joining the family and for leaving a comment. Always so happy to meet new people. I hope you enjoy the rest of the content.
@@BooknBroom No worries & thank you! I’m looking forward to your videos!!💗
Sooooo, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the art on those cards is stolen. The artist is Nene Thomas, and I’m sure she did not give permission for a third party printing site to sell her work without her name on them. 😢💜
Oh no! After reading this I went and checked, the cards do have the artists name on the back with web addresses to her site where the prints can be ordered. Perhaps they have a store front on Amazon? Gosh I hope they got their cut of this.
@@BooknBroom oh thank goodness. I have been a big fan of her art since high school and was so sad to think she was being ripped off.
Omg I have that Once upon a time stack!!! It’s amazing!!! I’ve used it in my journal. Yes it does add some bulk but I do some dutch doors which helps
It's so good I LOVE IT! The pages are so pretty and I am really enjoying using it. I am doing some cut always and folding pages to remove bulk from the outer corners, so I can add bulk back in with paper...no idea if that will help at all. I guess we will find out at the end of the year...hehe
I love the Stamperia paper pads but I hate that they are double sided
Oh I KNOW! It's heart breaking to have to choose because both sides are so beautiful!!
Wow, that's a lot of goodies! I can't believe you looked at these bits and bobs and went "I know what I can do with this' and made your reading journal! I don't know how people do that. I have really been enjoying your daily journal shorts for the same reason. S little sticker here or a pen slash there and you have a page transformed and ready for your life to be written. I love your channel. Please keep it up!
Aww thank you so much for saying that, this comment made my day! I am by no means as talented as some people on the internet but I do so much enjoy paper craft, using my fountain pens and getting my thoughts out. So it just works out so perfectly to do all of those things in the way I journal.
💜⚜️Hey Nikie! What a haul! And for the first time ever in my life, I found myself mentally pairing bottled ink color with your paper packs. 😉 That’s what winning some FWP ink has done to my brain, and I love it. 🥰 Your 2nd pack of paper has so many reds that beg some of that lovely, shimmering red ink. Dragonnnnssss. Letter paper and matching envelopes are never a bad purchase or a gift (My hubby’s mom always buys me some for Christmas). 😊 Finally (I’m *trying* to not make this so long 😅) the cling stamps. Man, easy to store (like in a notebook with clear pages)! But the thing I really appreciated (especially with letter stamps) is how I can position everything on that large acrylic piece beforehand. Because it’s see through, I’ll know exactly what it will look like as I hover over the paper, and can adjust before stamping. The lines on the device are also helpful for that. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Hey sweetheart! Yeah FWP will do that to you. They have so many wonderful sparkling inks. Oh I know I am in love with ALL the paper and cards I got. They are so magical! YES acrylic stamps are great for that. I can set up the dates and stamp it down in one stamp rather then day, month, date all on different stamps. Oh never worry about making your comment too long, or leaving multiple comments as you are going through a video. I read them all and ALWAYS respond!
What a cool idea! I can't wait to see all the pages filled up with slashes of color and hear you compare them all. I am just starting in the fountain pen hobby, so this will be really helpful to follow along with.
Exactly! I am really excited about it being all full up and flipping through all the colors, the crinkling pages and just compare them all.
FWP ❤. I have been eyeing adventuring and velvet ballet for a while. I bought a sample of velvet ballet from Goulet pens but I feel like I need the whole bottle now. Love this idea of your encyclopedia journal and the reasoning behind how you’re swatching.
Right?!? I thought it was clever. I have not found anyone doing it like this so I have no reference, but it's what I am doin, lol. I am a huge fan of data and journals and logs and trackers, so this just kid of makes sense to me. We are going to have a few ink swaps this year on the discord server, so hopefully I will get to fill it in more through out the year. Oh yes, adventuring is a lovely ink, it is so soft with a gorgeous shimmer. Velvet ballet is also a really lovely red, and all the other properties just hit with a subtle pop. Can't go wrong with either...or both!
This was so informative and helpful for my next big task …. Choosing a pen and ink. ❤ I’m so excited. That teal is amazing! Thanks, Nikie!
Congratulations on winning the giveaway! There is a playlist of a bunch of inks in my collection if you are trying to figure out what ink to choose. It's is a nice big bottle of Ferris Wheel Press ink and a pen to use it in. I am so happy for you!!!
This ink feathers like a mofo!
Oh dose it really? I have not used it in a pen yet.
That purple is so pretty! Already following you on Instagram, so I'm going to have to check out that give away. Thanks for doing this for us, and congratulations on hitting 1k subscribers.
Aww thank you so much. It means a lot to have hit this first mile stone. Thank you so much for helping me get here, to you and everyone who watches my videos. Good luck in the giveaway!!
These sound like great books, but more then that, your pages look amazing! I don't think any one cares how far behind you are. I know I just wat to see all the beautiful pages as you progress through the journal.
Oh thank you! You are so lovely my friend. Thank you for letting me know how you feel about this series. When I get crickets I am not sure what I am doing wrong...heheh
Ink me up baby,..... I'm ready to go.
OMG! There are so many books on your bookshelf that I love and never hear anyone talking about!
Yeah that's because I am an old reader. BookTok seems to focus only on new fantasy and ignore the books that inspired those authors. Which is such a shame because there are some AMAZING stories out there that seem to get no love at all.
Hi I just finished watching your video, I honestly loved the entire thing. FairyLoot has amazing versions of books I want and they’re not available anywhere. I will say, Crimson Moth is not a series. Just a one off. City of Stardust is now in my Amazon wishlist for my boyfriend to gift me books for special events. I didn’t add the Viking book just because I have never preferred anything Nordic or reminiscent of YT folk cuz YT folk have essentially ruined everything good imo. But I think you should definitely continue these FairyLoot unboxing because the waitlist is looong and I wanna see what you get. I also understand you’re not going to have FairyLoot forever but while you have it definitely let me see ❤😊
Oh I am glad you are enjoying the series! I think they are such stunning editions and I was surprised the videos are not doing as well as I expected. BUT, they are sooo much more beautiful then I even anticipated. I think I will see it through till at least the end of the year...and maybe longer. Now that I knwo there is an audience for these I will keep bring them out every other month so you can enjoying all the pretties till you get off the wait list. It took me a YEAR to get an email invitation and you only get about a week to accept before they go to the next person. The one I have is the YA AND Adult book only box and I am so pleased with it. SO yes my dear, I will keep bring these out for you! Thank you for taking the time to let me know your thoughts.
