I just opened my back of “Drink Local” edition Field Notes and started writing in the golden Pilsner notebook. It’s gorgeous, and the 120# “Dull” coated cover is amazing to touch, and holds up well in my back pocket.
My only problem? The inside cover. It’s black, and none of my pencils can leave a visible mark.
At Target today, I found a five-pack of gel pens on clearance which included one in white. It has the smeary, skippy ink flow that many cheap gel pens have, but it does the trick:
I guess gel pens do have their uses outside of tweens doodling in notebooks. I guess I’ll keep this pen around for just this occasion.

…or you could try a pencil with a ‘white’ lead 8^) (like one of these http://bleistift.memm.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/heftundtafel1.jpg – but many other brands have these, too)
Ahhhh this gel pen’s performance hurts my eyes. I will send you a legit white gel pen next round as an act of good karma.
Haha, thanks Elaine! Yeah. It’s a little rough. I guess that’s what I would expect for a $4 pack from Target. 😀
