Longest out, first in, I say
A clean split this week: three returning pen and ink pairs with three new combinations. I leaned heavily on the “last inked” column of my pen database to select this week’s new trio of pens.
Embracing the crossing out of mistakes
No plan survives the start of teaching. Or writing. Or contact with another person.
Changed plans turn into cross-outs, scrawling new writing over old writing, and migrating notes over and again. Life, and often being productive, is messy. I still struggle to embrace the mess.

A tutorial on deep cleaning a piston-filling fountain pen – for those times when a regular flush just isn’t enough. Or for when tinkering is called for.
The pens that write together stay together
This week sports seven inked writers. Each of which is a survivor from last week’s currently inked. Six black nibs, and one steel.
My school is running a professional development day on Thursday. I anticipate a healthy amount of fast writing at odd angles (thank you, auditorium seating) and jottings this week. So keeping five of this week’s inked pairings equipped with round nibs is reasonable.
