An Oblique Obsession (with a lefty)

So you just let the weight of the pen be your pressure on the paper?

Wow that is a beast of a pen. 

 

It's a beast... i bought the converter version out of the bargain basement when it went to a piston filler. Another version of this huge Dolce Vita has black trim on the cap to make it look less like a bowling ball.

 

I don't bother with analyzing much about my writing these daze for mixtures, % of water to dilute, kind of paper. I have tons of pens and inks and lots of Moleskin and like journals to play with and enjoy what I can.  :D

 

Mouse, my other fun was finding in high school that i was perfectly ambidextrous with chalk or marker on black and white boards. Used to solve two math problems simultaneously while tutoring kids. I cannot get the smaller motor skills to work with my right hand for a pen or pencil, but it's not too horrendous.

 

Script writing on the boards started at the same point and my left did mirror? opposite of the right with the same sentence as my arms spread apart.

 

Haven't done this for awhile, might heighten or loosen something in my brain if i tried it.  :D

Here is my short writing sample. I kind of dig the look.

      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
