Rediscovering the art of writing

Posted on July 12th, 2005 by Sacha Chua

Charo Nuguid totally
rocks. This pen-obsessed girl just gave (gave!) me an extremely pretty
glass pen, the one she’s been raving about for the past few days. Now
pens and I don’t usually get along. I have a callus on the wrong
finger (ring instead of middle) due to incorrect writing habits, and
although I favor signpens and gel pens, I can’t write with a fountain
pen for fear of bending the tip.

But ooh. Glass. With, like, an ink bottle and stuff. A quill, really.
A very fancy quill with grooves near the tip to hold ink. Whoa.

And I have very nice monogrammed cards to use with it, too…
