And here's my chicken scratches to help make up for the derail...

 

Hopefully once I get back into the practice of writing, it'll improve and even out some.

If you could please ignore the fact that it, as of yet, has absolutely no personality, that would be most kind of you. That's something that I hope will come once I've mastered the basics...

Personally I love it...and I do find personality

 

I like the consistency in the higher lowercase letters (y's included)

They are so perfectly symmetrical, very well done

HDoug, this is wonderful. I'd love to be able to write straight without lines. Can you tell me what you use for a journal? The paper looks lovely.

 

 

 

I love the variety, individuality, and quality of the handwriting in this thread!

 

Here's a photo I took for the "What pen are you using today" thread that shows my actual journal handwriting without divulging anything personal. I had just polished my prettiest pen, a Pelikan M620 Grand Place and it was so slick I dropped it and it dropped a blobs of ink on my journal.

Doug is quite amazing, I can write straight without line, but only with allot of effort... :roflmho:And it usually kills my writings flair... I should update my posting here on that note!

Thanks for your comments! Writing in straight lines is just practice. It was one of my goals and I just practiced. That's all.

 

The journal is a Kunst & Papier journal. I'm okay with it. I like the Lalo cahiers of the same size (A4) but they don't make them any more. Here's a review I did a couple of years ago.

I've noticed that my twsbi ef also has a semi flex type of variation

"Once committed to fight, cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut decisively, resolutely. Cut into the enemy's strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit."

Well it does have a bit of spring to the nib... can get some line variation out of it... wouldnt try it with one of my Parker 51s... that would ruin the nib in short order.

Thanks! I was looking for something to write and test out a variety of pens and inks and figured great quotes would be perfect for the task. I came up with that idea after I realized that I had written a section of a famous speech by Churchill so many times that I had it memorized:

 

"...Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'" - December 18. 1940

 

I figure if I can get a couple more to stick like that, my handwriting will certainly have improved in the mean time. :D

 

I do have a fascination with history and might start writing notes as I review. A perfect project for the winter.

My first flex fountain pen writing

(I should say I've used plenty of dip pens with flex)

Hi Vidalia, You show good examples of natural handwriting that I would consider to be a model to follow. You have some nice little flourishes in the 'Roundhand' example which I will try to emulate, thank you for your contribution.

I'll add mine to the list too - This is such fun seeing other people's writing! Thanks for starting the topic -

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
