It took me a long time to find fountain pens, but I haven’t picked up a non-fountain pen since. I’ll even go the trouble of going upstairs to fetch my pen. It’s a habit and a feeling now.
And having a couple of them inked at the same time means that one is always on hand, ready to go.
When I sit to do my journaling in the morning, I find myself playing with the pen in my hand, turning it to hold it just so before writing. The best word I can come up with for my mindset is intentional.
Couldn’t agree more. The deliberate act of writing with a fountain pen feels so much more powerful, even for the simplest of tasks.
