I stumbled across this today, haven’t yet watched it all.

 

Neil is known in FP circles for using Fountain Pens, notably the Pilot 823 - for both his writing and his signings. In this Tim Ferris interview (1’ 37”), Neil talks about why he likes to use fountain pens. Some of his answers are the same as those any of us here would give, but he also talks about how fountain pen use has shaped his writing.

 

I’d watch a Neil Gaiman interview just to hear him speak about his work, but this fountain pen bit in the Ferris interview...more than worth the time to hear one of Earth’s greatest writers talk about Earth’s greatest writing tool.

so excellent thank you for posting.

 

though we are writers in our own rite, not trying to *be* our heroes, it helps me greatly to know that one i admire could be using the same tools i use to craft my stories

 

700000 signatures is a LOT of signing!!

      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
