improve my handwriting

I now own three Lamy Safari fountain pens. I bought a medium point (they come with blue ink cartridges) and felt it was too coarse for day-to-day writing, so I bought a Extra Fine point and, for fun, a 1.1 italic tip. (Swisher Pens was great to work with.) The 10 black ink cartridges I added to the order should last me awhile.

Fountain pens are neat. I can see why folks collect them. The ink is just waiting to flow out onto the paper—you don’t have to drag it out like you do with a ballpoint. Hard to explain the difference.

I also am working through Write Now: The Complete Program For Better Handwriting and it seems simple and quick. We’ll see what the results are . . .

(400BCL) Not sure why I thought it would—but what a nice pen! It seems tiny, but it has a nice heft. It’s always with me since it can ride in any pocket without ever getting lodged cross-wise or jabbing anything.

I think I’ll order a Lamy Safari Fountain Pen. Can’t decide whether I should go with a calligraphy tip, and, if I do, what size.

I’ve drawn zigzags on a few pages. I find that I tend to use my fingers, not my wrist, to make the zigzags. It’s difficult to smoothly move my hand—maybe if I used a table . . .
