Someday I will have to scan and post the blank page I wrote once. I started
with the canonical "This page intentionally left blank" but went off on a
riff based on explaining that the page was not entirely blank. Filled the
entire page. Didn't publish it.

The "your notes" idea is good, except that I always feel inadequate as a
user because I never have any notes to put there.

A previous post from Ann Mackenzie mentioned the ever-popular sentence
"This page intentionally left blank." I *strongly dislike* this
sentence because, once you've put it on the page, the page ISN'T BLANK
ANYMORE (deep breath!!!).

Anyway, for years now I've used the phrase "This page for your notes."
on pages at the end of a chapter. Anybody else have any other creative
ideas for replacements?
