A homemade pen case for less than $10
My local pen group continues to grow. We had 16 people attend last Saturday’s gathering. And I raffled off a homemade 10-pen storage case.

A heart-felt thank you to everyone who reached out to share congratulations and/or to check in with me these past two weeks. I’m grateful.
And I’m excited to get back into my weekly reflections.
To grind a nib or not to grind a nib, part two
Nib grinders, in just the past few years, have experimented in earnest with new and exciting ways to alter the shape of a pen’s tipping. And so, alter the writing experience.
Nib grinds, as I see it, add drama to the writing experience, tailor your pen to serve a specific kind of writing, and turn a pen into more than one writer.
To grind a nib or not to grind a nib, part one
A conversation with a pen friend of mine a few months ago has been rattling around in my head since. He said he struggles to understand how someone can buy a new pen with a lovely round nib and immediately walk to a nibmeister to have it ground.
I have love for both round and ground nibs. They each add value to the writing experience. This week, I’m thinking through the benefits of unground, round nibs.
