We all write. But what brings joy to your writing? Try a fountain pen. Just recently I bought a Conklin fountain pen. The exact same model preferred by the great American writer and humorist, Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain). Yes, he wrote with a Conklin crescent filler fountain pen. Well, I thought I’d have a go at a fountain pen. My dad used one during WWII. Initially it was a little messy. But once you get the knack of filling the pen with ink, you’re all set to go and enjoy beautiful writing. Now, I’m not talking about calligraphy. I’m talking about the joy of effortless and naturally beautiful writing with a fountain pen. What a true joy. The letters form and the words become works of art and you will look forward to writing the way writing was meant to be. Forget about Word Perfect and return to the art of writing. I initially used jet black ink. But now I use a dark blue or green Waterman ink. Very beautiful color, and an inexpensive excellent quality ink... Try a fountain pen. I recommend starting with a fine point nib. Send me a PM if you have any questions. Cheers, Jason Bourne
Yes, I understand what you mean. A fountain pen makes you think about what you are writing. It is a pleasant way to communicate. I haven't received a letter written in ink for about thirty years, I'd think. More legible than a ball point.
I remember we used fountain pens at school, all those centuries ago. Ink got everywhere, hands, clothes, books, you name it. We were mucky little oiks, all right.
We had to be able to use a dipping pen, in an inkwell before we were allowed to use a fountain pen. The ink monitor filled up the ink wells. We used blotting paper too. (Used to ride dinosaurs to school too).
