Sailor #fountainpen Tuzu. #fountain pens
#NPD - picked up another budget fountain pen to see what the hype was about. Haven’t inked it yet but on 1st pass I mostly have positive thoughts. Plus I’ve got a soft spot for Sailor pens. Sailor Tuzu adjustable #FountainPen

Kakimori antique brass nib in the holder is today’s #fountainpen
Not my typical #fountainpen post. Taking the new Kakimori nib out for its maiden voyage. Teamed with some decent sumi ink.

Pilot Kaküno #fountainpen with fine nib
Love the happy face on the Pilot Kaküno #fountainpen
Platinum Preppy #fountainpen with fine nib
When I started building my fountain pen collection, I skipped over the entry level models. Picked up 2 this week. Pilot Kaküno and Platinum Preppy. Great little writers for <$10 ea.

They sold us the idea that peace is a prize, a luxury, something achieved after climbing a mountain of sacrifices. But the truth is simpler and more subversive: peace is an act of insurrection against the noise of the world. It begins with just one breath.

Lying to myself and saying this will be my last NPD for a while 🤣
Hongdian 231.
I don’t have high expectations for this fountain pen but I really like the design, I don’t have anything similar, & it was relatively inexpensive.

It takes a depressingly small amount of influence to get me to buy something😆
And a riff on Disney’s song “Kakuno Matata”
And then a remake of “Bridge Over the River Kaweco”

Another NPD (with great thanks to the person who gave me the gift certificate)
Xezo Visionary fountain pen in a retro, Art Deco theme with hand lacquered sky blue and white. Heavy (brass & aluminum will do that). Great balance and stunningly beautiful.

I don’t need more ink… I don’t need more ink… I don’t need more…

I started journaling (regularly) this year to help process the craziness of what’s happening. Writing by hand has been so much more rewarding than typing ever was.
Sheaffer fountain pen - 100 Coffee Edition. #fountainpens
It’s NPD and this time it’s the Sheaffer 100 9374 Coffee Edition fountain pen with the bronze nib (oh la la!)
The obvious pairing is J Herbin Café des Îles.
Not sure why but lately I’m finding myself attracted to the bronze and coffee colored #FountainPens #journaling #writing #writer
I have the Soraba Setsugetsu version of that pen and I find myself reaching for it a lot. Such a great writing instrument.
90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens.
If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

Conklin Duragraph fountain pen and Diamine Amaranth ink
Today’s fountain pen? Why that would be the Conklin Duragraph <M> inked with Diamine Amaranth (beautiful purple). Brand new pen, haven’t even written a whole page yet. But so far so good.
#fountainpen #journaling #writer #writingcommunity #art #resin
And thank YOU for the reminder - I have a couple pens that aren’t inked and you reminded me that I have a brand new, unopened bottle of Diamine Amaranth. Need to fill one of them with it when I get home tonight 😁
Pilot Prera Iro-Ai calligraphy fountain pen. Inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Sui-Gyoku ink
Returning to my Pilot Prera Iro-Ai fountain pen. It’s my surprise break-out star. My 1st calligraphy nib, I mostly bought it as a curiosity. Love writing with it as it suits my handwriting & ink flows smoothly. Inked with Iroshizuku Sui-Gyoku ink.

My Faber-Castell Ambition fountain pen with pear wood body and a medium nib.
The Faber-Castell Ambition is a new addition to my fountain pen fleet. It’s a medium nib that I paired w/ a wet ink so it lays down more ink than I like. Need to try a drier ink or switch nibs. But still a beautiful instrument.

I’m disappointed in myself because I don’t have all four seasons… yet. 🤣
Thank you. As much as I hate feeling attachments to inanimate objects, that pen really does bring me joy to write with. And yeah, I think Herbin totally knocked it out of the park with that color.
Pilot Professional Gear Shikiori (Spring Sky) fountain pen with a gold nib (fine) and inked with Poussière de Lune.
It’s been a minute since I did a fountain pen of the day so here it is. My Sailor Professional Gear Shikiori (Spring Sky) with a fine nib. Inked with my favorite color, Herbin’s Poussière de Lune.

Love it! Those sales are dangerous (he says from experience 🤣)
Great purchases.

Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen for National Handwriting Day with Waterford Irish Whiskey
National Handwriting Day, eh? I got ya covered.
Sticking w/ Pilot Metro fountain pen today as it’s writing so smoothly that I can’t put it down. The Waterford whiskey is a delightful liquid mental lubricant that may or may not be helping

Yes, a real shame…
See how they've succeeded in making discriminatory practices the norm?
So, we have to pass laws and create programs like DEI, Affirmative Action, and Equal Rights to combat it.
The norm SHOULD be equality and equity. We shouldn't need these laws or initiatives. But here we are.
Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen with a fine nib
You never forget your first love…
Today’s fountain pen also happens to be the 1st fountain pen I ever bought & a true workhorse: Pilot Metropolitan (fine nib). Inked w/ Diamine Blue Sapphire

Today, more than any other day in recent history, it may be helpful to remember that we're all just tiny specks in an infinite universe.
BTW, I think that that asshole in the Tesla that almost took me out yesterday was also doing 9 million KPH

Thanks for building that!
