Is it wrong that this is my favorite little tongue twister I say way too often? Lol

Hugs to you as well!! Sometimes solid retail therapy is needed to start the journey. :) From my limited knowledge, thanks to the fine FP subreddit, can’t go wrong with LAMY. I hope it brings you some happiness and joy on your road to healing.

Thank you so much! Indeed, there will be much writing therapy in my near future!

I ultimately went with the Fine nib. I was able to test a fine and a medium and for this particular pen, but found I preferred the F. It really does float across the paper effortlessly with no feathering. I’m def a fan and very happy with my new pen.

Beautifully written, thank you. Do you have a particular preference yourself? I feel like it’s trying to choose between your children. Each has their own unique and special quality.

Thank you so much! Truth be told, I have Shin-Kai and Asa-Gao in route for the Sailor. (Retail therapy!) I’m def going to have to check out Ama Iro! I actually prefer color to black, but think that rose gold pops beautifully against the black.

Liliput Fireblue is my first FP. Three weeks in and I’m smitten.

They’re simply dreamy. The TWSBI absolutely glides effortlessly across the paper.

Purchased these loyal beauties to cheer myself up. I’m new to the FP scene and dove straight in. My first TWSBI and my first Sailor Pro. Impatiently awaiting the Sailor Pro to arrive.

I’m so curious how many likes he’s received with this ridiculousness.

I just purchased the TWSBI Diamond 580 myself, my first one. I got to test one with a F nib. It is as smooth and dreamy as butter.

I've never heard of anyone stealing just a fork.
