High everybody! I stumbled on this site about a week ago and some how it spoke to me and I haven't been able to look away since. I've been writting with fountain pens off and on since I was in grade school but in the last decade or so I seem to have gotten away from them. But I'm inspired to take pen in hand again (somehow I think it's part of my mid-life crisis, and that's fine too) and start keeping a journal again. I find that writing with a fountain pen slowed me down considerably, improved my penmanship and lent a comforting sence of classiness. I'm sure you know what I mean. Not really interested in collecting, just writing. But who knows what the future holds. Right now I have so much to learn, and there's a lot to explore here. It's a whole new world for me, and I'm gratefull to feel right at home from the start.

All the best,

Biber

Welcome. I too like fountain pens because they give you more time to think about what you're writing.

Hi Biber and welcome to FPN. Don't waste your time with a midlife crisis. There's too much out there to buy and enjoy. Besides, I never really understood where that expression came from because it presupposes that we already know the length of our years and can judge that we are in midlife....
