The Unfinished Notebook

TRIGGER WARNING! This episode features some subject matter that may be upsetting to some people. Mental health is very important and having the motivation to keep going is just as important. We promise that all of this is tied into our beloved stationery hobby and we discuss ways to stay motivated during times of stress and uncertainty. Please remember that you have value and that the world would...

On this episode of The Unfinished Notebook, your intrepid hosts open up about times they’ve learned, and grown, and learned some more. Is it okay to outgrow a strongly-held opinion? Is it okay to believe or like or want things your childhood self would absolutely loathe? Portage Notebook: https://a.co/d/gmuodAL Lamy Safari, because we love them: https://a.co/d/6hb3eDw

This episode, The Unfinished Notebook goes digital! We’re talking about apps for note taking and for journaling or planning. We’ll go over some Android and iOS apps and maybe even a PC program or two. Stationery is still our first love, but there are many people that do everything in digital form. Could we be among them? Probably not, but this will be fun anyway. Jinhao Gullor fountain pen: https:...

This week were pondering pencils. Wood pencils, mechanical and our perfect pencil picks. Plus we've pulled together a purposely premeditated, but polite parley on the purest pencil form. Peek into our pencil piles and prepare your prominent perspective on these perpetually profound, yet sometimes pleasantly plain and pointed procurements. I think I've gone too far with the p-words. Sharpen...

Take a listen as Samantha performs the short story "Lighthouse 4", written by Jeremy. Author's Commentary: This whole experience was such a treat for me. I know that Sam does voice acting, but to hear my own written words performed in such a way was quite surreal. I feel like a real author right now! Look out Steven King! In all seriousness, I really loved her performance and interpr...
