"I have way too many pens!"

 

...and you've mastered so many types of beautiful handwritings.

Needless to say, I envy you and I hope that it's OK for me to ask you couple of things.

 

I've been a lurker here for quite awhile now. My handwriting looks kind of childish for someone my age, hence why I chose to start learning Palmer. I thought it is best to start straight away with alphabets but the inconsistency of my suppose-to-be-Palmer handwriting proved me wrong. So since the last two weeks, I start again with the Os and the sticks.

 

So, my questions are:

(1) How do I know for sure that I'm ready for more than the Os and the sticks
(2) Is there any tips (or secrets!) on how to form a more consistent letters and slant? Or is this something that will come naturally once you get better?

(1) Just do it. Start with these strokes:

Then put them together:

(2) a. Yes, do it as often as possible; and b. Yes!

Thank you so much for sharing that technique, Manny.

I've never once "view" the letter as something that can be spliced and put back together, so this is truly a refreshing way at looking it.

Thanks again!!

Okay, NOW I'm curious as to what line of work you're in?! My husband and I were just discussing today some of the places we worked and stupid decisions or requests.

Thank you! So, your coworker should be inspired and want to improve. I'm betting he's been there awhile, it's become somewhat of a grind, and he doesn't want to be challenged. Only guessing, but that was often my experience. I liked your response!

      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
