Rediscovering pens I already have
I took some time this week to update the database I use to organize my pen collection. Notably, the database sports a new column to record the last date each pen was inked. A handful of patterns emerged.
Playing it safe
Kaweco makes a small converter for their pocket pens. It’s a hard plastic cylinder. A plunger on the end creates suction and a seal for the tiny ink chamber. It works well enough. Until it doesn’t.
Grail weeks come but rarely
Montblanc released a series of special edition pens tied to The Little Prince. The pen that most suits my aesthetic preferences (muted colors and silver furniture) just so happened to be themed with the fox chapter. Take. My. Money.
EF nibs and accent colors for an asymmetrical work week
There is a decided lack of symmetry in my color selections. The first half of the week will be reading heavy. Accent colors that stand out from my usual muted palette make reading notes more easily referenced. So: bright blue, purple and orange are all in the pen tray.
