Majohn (aka. MoonMan) evokes strong reactions from those who are familiar with their products. Reactions to their products’ resemblances to the pen designs of other established companies.

I received my new Majohn A1 this week. Majohn’s clipless model. And I like it. A lot.

Taking inventory of my pen collection helps me to ensure that the pens in my case all draw me into my writing. A process that I started back in July and continued a month later.

The process involves balancing each pen atop my guiding principals. This week, I sift through the third (of four) 13-pen trays. The tray I lovingly call the “Tray of Small-Sized Big-Hitters.”

I’m on a journey. A journey through the most-used page layouts in my teaching bullet journal. A journey most-nerdy.

This week involves a page layout designed for thinking through curriculum, and how best to help new minds connect with my curriculum. Process work where the page itself is rarely referenced afterwards. It’s the build that matters.

My partner and I received an order from Yoseka Stationery last weekend. An inky, penguin-infused order. And I’m too excited not to share. Even mid-bullet journal series. So, allow me to share what has me so excited of late.
