Good idea!!! Indeed! Makes postage easier too..........we use our own pens and inks and just send the journal!

Can we compile a list of who's who and where now?

I don't mind starting - should it be a small journal - keeps the cost down - we don't need to write screeds unless you want to do that...........let each person do their own thing - have time as the only limit.

What do you all think????

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

Make it count!!!

Hi,

 

if it's not too late, I'd like to join too. I like the idea of seeing different inks,though the travelling pen is a catchy title and trying a pen you haven't tried before is a nice idea too

 

Perhaps the need to send the pen empty so no leaks in transit means that the book could keep moving without too much delay if it didn't have to wait for people to have time to empty and flush it?

 

Let me know what to do next,

 

M

Do we want to use actual journals (a la Moleskines style) or cahiers (more akin to exercise books)? The latter is easier to mail around but isn't as nice looking but the former tends to be bulkier and more expensive (both the journal itself and sending it)

I'll have to check with Aus Post and find out just how much difference there is in postage costs. I'm quite happy to go either way.

Excellent. Whatever you decide I think we need your leadership at this point. Choose your poison and start the process - we WILL follow :thumbup:

I agree with this.

 

I don't think the postage will be too much different, not enough to break anyone. Pick whatever you think and go for it

I'm in too please...........where is Soki? I'm sure she will join when she sees this!

I have a whole lot of notebooks here - but at this late stage I see it has been sorted!

Pens..........how about a Hero 616? Got it here - nice nib - fine writer.

Let me know please.

:eureka:

 

Here I am! Sorry, still away on holiday with limited internet access. Let me know what you need, and I'll email/post it. I also have a Pilot 78G with stub nib to donate, for those who prefer something with a bit of line variation.

 

Regards,

Soki xx

 

Sorry - hadn't finished reading all the post when I replied with gusto! So, are we going with just the travelling journal?

Checked the postage rates and a normal notebook will be fine ^^. We'll just ship the journal around and everone can write in the journal with their own pens =). Feiye should probably start since she's donating some rhodia to our cause (and because she's jetting off to warmer climates for a few weeks). Let the fun begin.

I agree that using our own pens is easier. I've participated in another travelling journal, one that went around the globe and hence postage was definitely an issue, and everyone was quite happy to use their own pens/inks. Besides, it was interesting to see what everyone has stashed away. :D

I write, therefore I...write a little more.

I'm on the assumption that feiye is filling some pages of the journal while she's over in Vanuatu. She should be back in a week and a bit and we'll go from there.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to it. (If and when it eventually comes my way.)

 

It's definitely a matter of when it comes your way ^^.

I hope it doesn't soak up too much sunshine in Vanuatu. We've got an oversupply of that here. Send me rain...lots of rain. :D

Please send some sunshine south of the border! It's been cold and miserable in Sydney lately.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
