“I know exactly what you mean. A couple of years ago I made a goal to write a letter a week for the calendar year. The fountain pens and nice ink definitely make the experience one I look forward to every week. Some years I push 80 letters, some only 52-53. The pens and inks also make journaling a real treat at the end of every day.”
