Jut got my first midori and I absolutely adore it! Am planning on picking up the clear cover for it. Can I please see how everyone has personalised/decorated their midori covers?

Please give me constructive criticism and feedback on how I can improve my handwriting, all advice welcome! :)

Firstly just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that gave me advice on the last thread I posted about the disappointment I had with Moleskine paper. After an extensive amount of reading and a lot of advice from you guys I realised what I needed (besides being fp friendly) was a notebook that was TOOTHIER-I own a few leuchtturms and they just weren’t cutting it, I feel like I have absolutely no control when writing on smoother paper therefore my handwriting turns out crappier than what it already is.
A lot of you guys recommended Midori and while it had been on my list, I honestly didn’t have the highest expectations after being let down so many times after splurging on notebooks (yes, I have a problem).
Anyways, lo and behold, the midori arrived today and OH MY GOSH GUYSSSSS THANK YOU!!!! Literally EVERYTHING I needed!!! This paper is honestly amazing to write with and needless to say I will not be going back, ever!!!

I would love to know what everyone has done with their covers? Have you used the provided stickers? Have you personalised yours in any way? Not sure what to do with mine! But anyways, amazing paper to write on with a fountain pen, literally amazing.

I need to rant bc WTF. I’ve heard so many mixed things about Moleskine notebooks, I have one and I’ve finally decided to put it to use. (I’ve been trying out different notebooks to see which ones I prefer to use with my fountain pen-I have a pilot custom 823 for context)

First photo is literally a KMART notebook. No bleed, ghosting, etc and actually feels quite good to write on, second 2 photos are Moleskine. What the hell. First of all, why does it make my writing look so different and so terrible? Not to mention the bleeding, ghosting, feathering etc. I feel like as soon as I put ink down it just.. spreads almost???? Writing experience also sucks. WHY IS THE $6 KMART NOTEBOOK BETTER THAN THE $40 MOLESKINE WTH GUYS😩

This is my current handwriting. Please give me honest feedback! (Constructive criticism welcome) I’m wanting to better my handwriting and I would also really love to learn how to write in spencerian font. I’m also fairly new to writing with a fountain pen so any and all feedback is welcome and would be greatly appreciated:)
