Oh my gosh. Life isn’t always pretty. Why should our journals have to be? I keep a couple of planners/trackers for different things, and one book where I actually write about the day. Trust me, my most functional ones are NOT pretty. I’m busy LIVING my life, not making pretty pages.

It's not "ugly", it's quirky and has character! Lol. But honestly, if it works as intended, who cares what it looks like. Don't be discouraged by all the artistic journals people post on the Grams or Toks or whatevers for validation and vanity.

Your notebook is not ugly, it is functional and practical and it does a great job. i would rather watch a video on how your notebook works rather than all the decorated ones put together. Plus it looks used and the drawings from the children are brilliant.

I wanted a Sidekick when they came out with it in 2017. I bought a smaller one in a different brand instead. I vowed if they came out with it again, I would buy one. So, I bought the bird print leather. I agree with some of the same things you say. The leather seems fragile. I would not put my phone in the front pocket for that reason. I don’t care for the pen loop for the same reason as you. I may remove it. It may be my imagination, but I feel like it is about an inch taller and somewhat wider than the original. I bought a B6 slim off- brand notebook for it and it fits fine (except for the awkward pen loop). I just feel it is more bulky than the original and just not as convenient to carry. Thanks for your validating video. It’s pretty and I’ll just use it as a TN. 😊

I also purchased a bunch of leather covers (mostly from re-sellers) because I love changing out covers for the seasons! I just adore the way real leather covers look and change with use!

As much as I enjoy seeing other people's lovely, decorated spreads, I feel no need to copy them! I am very much a functional planner and while I like my planner to be "tidy," I also want it to be useful! I think the most charming flips I have seen are the ones where the user checks things off, scratches things out, and uses all kinds of different pens and changes their set-up mid-stream. Their Planners/Notebooks feel "lived in," and use of their own handwriting (not stickers or decorative lettering) makes them feel so much more personal!

I think that looseness is intended for you to be able to align the nib with the clip when the cap's posted. In your case there isn't a clip, so that issue is moot. Anyway, just hold the nib in one hand, the black collar in the other, and tighten.

This is intentional! Not really useful for your Ultem BUT in my case with my Titanium Petrol including a clip. To bring in line the nib with my clip I have to loosen to exact your situation. To tighten you need to gently hold the nib and screw the black metal. Not the best job since your nib is inked. But in my case everything is tight and the Nova Pocket rocks! If you loose it more you can change the whole nib unit. Not the cheapest option but I‘m with a Titanium nib, interchangeable with other Bock nibs (#6).

I just recently got this pen in the beadblasted Ti finish, and am very happy with it. I needed to tweak the nib a little to get the flow right, but it's a keeper.

My Nova Pocket Titanium in the beadblasted finish with a Fine nib arrived a couple of days ago. In terms of size, it's a little bit shorter than my Ensso XS Minimalist Pocket Fountain Pen when capped, but longer when posted. Right now I have it inked up with the Short Standard International cartridge that it came with. I have both a Kaweco converter & a short squeeze aerometric style converter that I may try in the pen later on.

@zeus524523 ай бұрын
@@suzysedc6965 No, the pen isn't broken it was definitely intentional. It's for the mildly OCD crowd like me who like the clip and nib to line up when the cap is posted. What you do is note the position of the nib with the cap posted, then remove the section, align the nib to the position noted earlier, then hand tighten the black piece at the end of the section. That black piece also holds the nib housing in the section, and it doesn't have to be super tight, just hand tight. I think you'll find that works better, and will keep the nib from shifting around on you.
