This week’s currently inked returns to basics. I have a pen and ink combination for fast writing while seated and for jotting notes while standing. All balanced against options for slower writing tasks at my desk.

Round nibs are well-suited to fast writing tasks — and at odd angles. The rounded tipping writes smoothly, even when the nib is mistakenly rotated.

This is the final week before academic meetings begin in earnest. My last week of summer calls for a little chaos of my own making — before the flurry that is schooling.

Dice rolls chose my new currently inked. Two dice, in fact: a four-sided die and a twenty-sided die. The same method used to play D&D. Entropy in the driver’s seat.
