Building an interview day carry
I need an interview carry this week. A collection of pens and ink colors that present professionally. All kitted with nibs that write well through the rapid scribbling of fast-moving interviews. Because I’m running on-campus interview gauntlet and my currently inked needs to be on point.
Reward for returning to the old with fresh eyes, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On ways to keep my existing collection surprising me. A diverse pen collection helps mix and match pens, nibs and inks so that old pens can surprise me. And straight-up swapping parts carries the day otherwise.
That’s a mighty bold kit for such an EF-loving writer
Give me novelty. Add ripples to my rhythm. Populate my penvelope with bold nibs. This week’s currently inked sextet heavily favors wide nibs.
Posts that reflect on a particular time and place, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On time and place. I appreciate the same in folks’ stationery reflections. What they’re using in their particular time and place. What they’re creating with those pens and inks and notebooks where they are.
