AMOE Supplies Guide

You will need some supplies to get started writing AMOE entries. Everyone is different, so I generally recommend that you try out different types of pens, and both 4x6 paper and index cards, to find what works best for you. I started out using gel pens and 4x6 paper, but eventually converted to felt tip pens and index cards. Try both and see what you prefer - see how long it takes you to write entries with each method, and determine which is more comfortable for you..

Personally, I have found that buying everything on Amazon works best for me. Time spent driving to and from stores is just lost time that I could have been writing more letters, and if I have an issue with a product, I can return it to Amazon easily and hassle free (versus again having to drive to and from a store, and holding onto receipts.)

Envelopes

#10 Envelopes

Most sites require you to use a #10 envelope to send in your entries. I personally like these Top Flight ones the best:

Top Flight #10 Envelopes x500

You will see some people recommending other options, such as the Sam's Club envelopes. I am not a huge fan of those; there have been issues with some coming without the glue strip to close the envelope. I bought one box of the Sam's Club ones when I first started out and I really wasn't impressed. The Top Flight ones are awesome, I have literally gone through thousands of them.
