I found a .3 mechanical pencil lately and was very excited by that -- a .3B!!! I had to have it. I also got a .3 gel pen at the same time. Normally I use .5, on occasion .7, and also have traditional pencils. Sometimes I like to write very small, or draw small detailed drawings, though, and points on normal pencils are inconsistent. Thank you for the comment! And you're welcome for the inspiration.

All this time I have been carrying a very small notebook and the pages fall out of it, and there isn't enough room. The thought was that if it could fit in my purse, it was the right size. I see now that it needs to be bigger. And having it next to the bed is an excellent idea as well. I have never been keen on 'journaling' but when the moment hits me, I have occasion to write down potential book ideas or favorite quotes, song lyrics that I forget the tune to. I do always have my favorite pen & pencil, I adore them. There is nothing more satisfying than my pencil and drafting, lettering or doodling something with it. And it has to be .7B or .9B lead depending on which one I have with me. The darker the lead, the better. Thanks for the inspiration. What a stroke of brilliance.
