Bringing another newly tuned nib into the fold
Two new pens enter this week’s rotation.
My Pilot Custom 74 steps up as this week’s daily driver. I’m excited to try this pen out. My first inking since All in the Nib customized the EF nib to suit my high writing angle and preference for pencil like feedback. I also introduced my Franklin-Christoph 03 in Ghost. This pen was last inked in March. A substantial stint in the pen trays.
So. Excited.
My improved pen show kit includes mnml stickers
I visited this year’s DC Pen Show on Saturday and Sunday. There are already quite a few accounts of the show itself. Both wonderful descriptions and thoughtful evaluations.
My focus skews toward the current evolution of my pen show kit — which I call my floor kit. The pens and notebooks and bags I used to navigate the large, wild aisles of the DC Pen Show.
Avoiding the weeds, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On the benefits of sticking to the basics, avoiding the weeds, and settling on the pens that keep writing fun.
A new, varied and balanced currently inked collection
August heralds two major changes for the writing I take up. First, I have new writing options available as a result of my adventures at the DC Pen Show. Whee.
Second, the first week of August also begins three weeks of half-days prepping for the coming school year.
