Commonplace entry on fountain pens
So many firsts in my late night journaling: First time using a stub nib and a fude nib, first time using shimmer ink, and first ever commonplace entry!
Technically I’ve attempted a commonplace before, but this feels like the first “complete” entry I’ve ever done, and also special because it’s something I will want my loved ones to know I was passionate about if they look through my notebooks one day. I’ve been collecting bits of knowledge about pens, ink, and other stationery things and now am finally starting to turn it into a fond memory of using my physical collection.
I’m already thinking of getting a new stub nib because the TWSBI isn’t juicy enough for me… could be the FWP ink reducing the flow, but I’m still considering an Opus 88!
