Hello From Canada


LokiLaufeyson

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I'm Loki from Canada. I've been trying to form good habits in the forms of writing stories,
drawing and other such things and decided to look into fountain pen writing as a hobby.

I used some youtube information to figure out what I wanted and recently ordered

a Pilot Metro fine and some noodler's anti feathering ink. I'm really excited to receive my order

and to start practicing my hand writing again.

 

Another reason I wanted to pick this up is because I hate my signature, I have a rather

long last name and it drives me mad that when I sign I look like a fool, sometimes even rushing

through from anxiety of people watching me write.

 

As well that my grandmother had beautiful handwriting even when she was using a simple

ball point or gel based pen. Where as my father had very clunky child like writing, which is

alright as well but I never want to write in that way and I fear my writing will deteriorate eventually.

I included a picture of my hand writing with I think a gel pen? Impressions of it would be nice.

Welcome to FPN.

It's a very dangerous path you're taking. You start with one fountain pen, and before you know it you own dozens or more.

Haha! I kinda figured it might be a snowball effect Lisadan, I'm already peeking at some prettier pens and dip pens, but I really want to

try and focus on just using the metro until I feel I can put out for a prettier pen :) I fear that I will want to buy ALL THE INKS.

If you already fear wanting to buy all the inks, never fear. You will definitely want to buy all the inks. hahaha

 

Head over to the handwriting improvement forum! There's all sorts of posts about various resources available for all kinds of different handwriting styles. :)

Welcome, Loki !

 

Your handwriting is entirely legible. If you want any part of it to appear differently, take time to form each letter, as you wish it to appear. It is acceptable to "borrow" parts of writing from others, and add them to your style. Find reasons to practice -- journals, shopping lists, handwritten memos, letters, etc. Make it fun.

Welcome to the forum! I haven't been around long here myself and have actually only joined a couple days ago, but I started with a Lamy Safari and a Lamy st while I was in Germany a while back, and a bit of a journey later and now I own 11 or 12 pens. It's a quick journey into this money sink my friend :P

 

Your signature looks fine to me. It probably looks better then mine, as I don't even use Cursive to write my signature, nor do I stylize my full name.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
