I have found in previous sketch books that using prismacolors just doesn't feel the same as it does on a hard solid surface. so what i did was cut a piece of mat board to fit in the pocket in the back of the book. so a hard surface is at your finger tips and the full potential of the prismacolors can be obtained. this is the only knowledge I have obtained through out my stay on this earth. I hope it helps at least one person. I have two useful bits of knowledge

It's a great little hack for people who carry a planner and then a cahier of the same size. I usually have a pocket-size jotter notebook for recent projects and ideas, and just tuck that into my larger journal, but this is great if your smaller notebook for daily stuff won't fit inside the front or back cover of your moleskine or notebook http://bibliomancer.com/?p=19

The paper is so smooth and works well with all pens. My personal favorite pen, though, is the Pentel EnerGel. It's such a clean line and doesn't smear too much, even being a gel pen. But I do love the Pilot G2 pens a lot. I'm actually one of those people that's picky about my pens but if I have a pen I use it, if that makes sense. I just write whatever in my moleskine. Mostly, it's like stories and poems and such, but I also use it to write down ideas I get for a new plot line, or something I hear someone say that I think would make a good line in a story. I actually printed out the writing tips that you linked to in this post and slid it in the pocket at the back of my Moleskine (one of my favorite things about this notebook is the pocket for index cards, random slips of paper, and even napkins that I write on if I've miraculously forgotten my Moleskine--even though I take it with me everywhere, it can sometimes be forgotten if I don't want to carry my purse). This post is so amazing, because there are lots of cool ideas and hacks. I really love the one for the iPod and two Moleskine notebooks, even though I have an mp3 player, not an iPod. It would still work and I'm thinking about getting/making one. I don't know. Moleskines rock! I have a moleskine notebook and absolutely love it. The paper is so smooth and works well with all pens.
