Tying out pens, yet more pens, and talking to all sorts of people who sell and make pens.
Clients sometimes ask me about pens - in coaching, I tend to use everyday working pens that I can rely on. If you have had a coaching session with TheWrittenArtist you will know that I tend to bring a variety of pens to try out.
Finding the right pens that suit your hand can instantly improve handwriting, and the pleasure of writing.
When I used a fountain pen, years ago, they were still splodgy and splashy. I don't really mind inky fingers, except they can smudge the paper. Fountains pens, even at entry level, have considerably moved on and I think I'm about to become a personal convert.
I was especially impressed with Studio Pens http://www.studiopens.co.uk/, who allowed me to make and keep a lovely wee fountain pen similar to this:
Clients ask and I respond. I will be starting a new page on this site of my pen discoveries and recommendations, perhaps even a shop. It's very personal how a pen feels in the hand and to write with. It's a quest. Perhaps you are already a collector of these beautiful and practical artefacts. They express words, they communicate meanings. The pen is mightier than the computer.
