You might even enjoy the slower pace of having to stop every now and then to dip your pen.Natalinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-70882045880370771292013-09-23T05:56:06.782-07:002013-09-23T05:56:06.782-07:00I think we are just too used to writing with ball ...I think we are just too used to writing with ball points. I had a fountain pen years ago--but ruined the nib. <br />BTW--is your sister quoted on the front page of the WSJ this morning!?! I was just skimming the front page and thought---hmmmmm I think I know (of) this person :)cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839706774338343989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-45358904817433574702013-09-21T21:25:21.624-07:002013-09-21T21:25:21.624-07:00You know that the paper shop in Berkeley teaches c...You know that the paper shop in Berkeley teaches copperplate?

Once I entered Junior High, it was optional. Sadly, I reverted to printed handwriting for my assignments. I still mourn the loss of my cursive penmanship. Interestingly, I became a graphic designer in my adult years with an obsessive love of typography.

They're cheap, often come in packs of various thicknesses, and if a nib breaks, you got three more in the box. Let me know if you'd like to borrow any, mine are sitting neglected. :)Julie Mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-66704274772290384962013-09-21T16:15:05.361-07:002013-09-21T16:15:05.361-07:00It's really not your fault that the pen broke....It's really not your fault that the pen broke.
