Leaning into a balance of broad and narrow nibs
This week is my first of two weeks off from work. My pen usage is going to be focused on personal projects. Journaling, outlining posts, drafting essays, and restarting my Hobonichi Weeks.
Sharing is daring
Sharing is caring, so the saying goes. Sharing, in the world of fountain pens is also daring.
A common joke amongst my pen friends is that our blood pressure spikes when someone at work or the local café asks to “borrow a pen real quick.”
The darker side of purple
My journey towards an enjoyable and functional combination of daily drivers continues. The goal is a grey and a black ink. Grey ink for repeated tasks and the structure of my weekly. Black ink for important tasks and marking my progress on each task. The black should stand out from the grey.
Of old favorites and new favorites and least favorites
Oh happy day. Starting a new journal is a joyful part of keeping a personal journal. Transitioning from one notebook into another is one of my favorite stationery-related activities.
