You also take care of a colony of rolie polies in the bin of dirt you keep in your living room like a normal person?
And yeah I write by hand initially. Afterwards though everything gets typed up in Obsidian, sent off to source control, and then a build server picks it up to turn it into a website. I've tried a few times to get fountain pens to work for me but either I'm doing it wrong or I'm buying garbage because they always seem to jam on me after just a couple days of use
Ants.
And the fountain pen issue is likely bad pens. Are you try to do flex writing?
That's delightful! I want to care for ants too but haven't gotten around to that one yet
I don't know what flex writing is but the nibs didn't seem to have much give to them so I'm guess no? Years ago, the last fountain pen I tried was some plastic Sheaffer pen I had heard was good for beginners. Not sure what model it was
Flex writing is more like calligraphy, but a pen doesn’t need to have a full on spring nib for it. I like a medium flex nib for slight line variation while taking notes, but use a very flexible nib for the journals.
What is nice about a flex nib is it lets you go into a world of fancier inks and papers that can really make writing enjoyable and fun to look at. I have too many inks right now, but use them all. They are fun to write and draw with as well.
The Noodler Ahab was my first flex pen. I would still have it but my kid broke it. Was my fault for letting them try it, dropped it right on the nib like a torpedo.
