Joplin's greatest song. All fountain pen enthusiasts can identify with the above line.

Everytime I see your handwriting I am amazed. Some from other people, like InkyFingers, also amaze me. I bookmarked some videos that you suggested in another post.

I bought a 1.1 Lamy stub for writing notes to students. It saves a lot time because of the equations and math notation. It is fun that they react to my very fake italic in Diamine Oxblood. :) I wonder about their reaction when I, eventually, get to that level. But only after getting my cursive right....

I have the exact same problem, David. My cursive really isn't that bad when practicing, but the moment I begin writing letters or anything meant to be seen by others, my lower arm shakes and I tense up. I have no problem talking or presenting things in front of a large group of people, but there's something about the thought of one critiquing my writing that shakes me a bit.

 

Though, really, your writing is wonderful! If you were nervous, I can't quite see it.

In the image below ... I used the new "ruler" to draw the lines on the paper ... and did that with the "pencil" tool as opposed to the pen tool. Next, wrote out the sentence ...

 

Not bad at all ... I didn't exactly take my time ... if this is what can be done with a finger, I'm getting kind of curious about the new pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil that Master Penman Jake Weidmann demoed with his hummingbird strokes in their Promo Video ...

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

A thank you note written to Bill Kemp (instructor) after attending a pointed pen calligraphy class at Caste In The Air in Berkeley CA

 

I start concentrating on the writing form so much I forget to pay attention to what I am writing, therefore the word 'outstanding' is used twice in one paragraph...an obvious fail.

"You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.” "Forever optimistic with a theme and purpose." "My other pen is oblique and dippy."

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
