Moving from one undated log/journal to another a month into the year. The small one I started with doesn’t have a ton in it, a sentence or two for most days.
Do I copy the entries from the first one to the new one, or start fresh?

I proceeded to ignore the overwhelming amount of people who thought I should start fresh in the new log book and carried over all my entries for the year from my old A7 notebook to the new A5 Sunny Log Note book.
By copying the entries I had an excellent excuse to grab a ton of pens and try all the inks and nibs on the new paper. I lost track of how many different things I used, but it was more than 20 different pens.
I learned quite a few things, including:
- I really like the format, it’s pretty flexible and has plenty of room for me.
- The paper is on the absorbent side, so large/wet nibs should be used sparingly. When a lot of ink goes down it ghosts a bit and a couple times it bled through in spots.
- Colors show well, but I didn’t try any inks that sheen much to see anything like that. Little to no shading.
- The Pilot CM nibs and the Parker FI work great here, nice variation without being too wet.
