Hello everyone,

I found this site from a headphone forum that I frequent and I am very new to the world of fountain pens.(Iam left handed and have miserable handwriting so I figured that using a fountain pen would help improve my handwriting.)

Welcome to the forum and the left handed lousy writing club. I'm a certified member of that one and at last have found another, perhaps!

Welcome, Tadashi!

I very much want to relocate to the NW area. More likely around Corvallis, though. I do have a couple of friends in the Portland area, though.

Your forum name sounds very, very familiar. I may have you mixed up with another, similar name, but are you the artist extraordinaire of "Circumstances?"

Regardless, you'll find endless ideas and pen suggestions here! There are lots of left-handed writers here, we just need to find you the right pen and ink combo and you'll never turn back.

Hello and welcome to FPN Tadashi. You're going to enjoy all the great people and great information here.

cheers

What W44 said. Maybe we can form a clique!

Hi there! Left handed and got a miserable handwriting? Well, this forum will certainly help you out (but not your wallet). So many people here know so much, that once you have started, you can't stop (collecting FPs).

See ya soon
Mike

Greetings and welcome. I too am a lefty with less than stellar handwriting but I haven't gotten any complaints from any of my snail mail pals on this forum. I only had one person in my several years here, tell me that she prefers to communicate with her friends via cell phone (translation: you do not write like a calligraphy star so get lost). Other than that disagreeable experience, everyone has been really sweet and I prefer to think that what I write is more important than how I write it!

Tadashi,

Welcome from an ex-left-hander. (I am born left-handed but have been forced to change and learn to use my weaker hand (right hand)).

Welcome to FPN, Tadashi!

You might have already heard about it, but if not....
The wonderful PORTLAND PEN SHOW will be held in your city next month, specifically July 11-13 (inclusive). Details here: http://www.portlandpenshow.com (official site)

This is a show not to be missed, especially by those of you who live in the area! I can't say enough good things about the show, its organizer (Carla M.), the friendly dealers and amazing pens to be seen there (and yes, I will be there this year---yippee! )

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I am definetly shooting to make it to the pen show next month.
