If you get a new sketchbook as a present and feel precious about it because you're afraid of "ruining" it or "messing it up", here's a trick I always do now: leave the first page blank, use it last, so when you open the sketchbook, it still feels 'pristine'

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
