Hello everyone! 

 

Talking about writing, I have huuuuuge passion for fountain pens which got me into handwriting, letter writing, journaling and pen pals.

 

I've started exchanging letters through a Reddit blog in 2016. My first match was an Australian woman, with whom I am still in contact now and this is exactly why I love pen palling (especially when you do it internationally), because you can get in contact with people from very different environments and it is a rewarding and enriching experience! 

 

As time passed I just joined some Facebook groups about penpalling on which I can find new pen pals, but as for now I have between 5 and 7 and it is ok for me this way

 

Anyone into this too? I'd love to read about your experiences!

Have any question? I'll be glad to answer if I can! 

 

Love & Blessings, Sanni

Hi, Sanni.

I like the sound of the pen on the page and the feedback from the pen. The feel of the pen in my hand is better than plastic ballpoints and I enjoy the range of colors available when I write.

I keep a journal, an ideas planners, to-do list, a "stream of consciousness" notebook and I draw. Any excuse is good for me to take a fountain pen and write something down:)

WOW!!  Another enthusiast!

 

I can totally relate to you here!

 

I find it so cool that you also do draw with FP! I absolutely cannot do that as I'm not good at it even though I started to make headers some time ago but only draw them occasionally now. 

 

I got a suggestion about keeping a thankful journal which I will probably start in the near future. I tend to be the perfectionist kind of person when it comes to this kind of things actually.

 

What about you?

I LOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE fountain pens and notebooks. I have... ugh.... 15-20 fountain pens? At least 20 different bottles of ink (plus sparkly ones). My favourites are some gorgeous Cross pens, I think I have 3 or 4, one was a 21st birthday present and has a gold (actual gold) barrel and nib. I have a silver one too. Notebooks, I ... uh... I can't count. Just a brief look around from where I'm sitting now at my PC, and I can easily lay eyes on 18. And they aren't the ones in my bookshelf. I have a stationery problem lol.

 

Penpals: a year or so ago I started to write to a penpal serving a life sentence in a prison in the US. I currently have 3 penpals now, all serving life in the US. It's wonderful to talk to them, they are so grateful for the contact, and have so many interesting things to share

Welcome to the club too!!

I came across FP in Germany while I was an abroad student in high school, but onluy really started to cherish them in 2015/2016 when I came across Goulet Pens videos!

A lot of the things I know now about FP are due to their videos. Anyone an enthusiast of them?

I only ordered once from them though because most of the products are also to be found on the European market, so I spare something just ordering from EU dealers.

I have 3 currently inked pens: Lamy Safari All black (Steel stub 1.5 nib) - Pilot metropolitan (M) and TWSBI diamond 580 (F).

I love the TWSBI for the massive ink capacity <3

If I understand correctly you are writing to prisoners? (I'm sorry but English isn't my first language, so sometimes I have some difficulties).

That must be something strong!

 Hello guys! I have been looking for a suitable service for a long time to write a dissertation for me. It's really hard for me, because I can't look for information to work. It is much easier to turn to research paper writing services and not worry about the quality of work. They guarantee timely work and at a good price!
