One of those things that you just need to try and get the feel of. You are correct in that you can ghost too much( or too little ). You are almost waiting for a ghost stroke that feels good and then you go for the drawn line. Occasionally I ghost too much and it feels forced. When this happens I stop, myself shake my shoulders outm and try again.

Generally I ghost 2 or 3 times before drawing the line.

Thanks for the tip, I keep in mind the tip to shake it of when it doesn't work anymore.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
