I've been adding/using ghosting dots prior to making my lines. See the attached image where I have put trial dots for my lines. Is this OK?
Yup, that's totally fine. Basically I'd say that a single point floating there on the page isn't enough of a commitment. A line absolutely is - so once a line has been put down on the page, you should not redraw it or correct it. But if you find the point you put down wasn't right and you'd like to reposition it, simply draw another. You'll also find that Scylla's explanation about how she works through constructing boxes for the challenge does use quite a few additional points like this.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
