You can all blame Stephen Brown for me being here. I certainly do. I am sure I am far from the first lot of fresh ink for the well he has poured this way. I also blame him because my list of desired fountain pens and ink to accompany them is getting far longer than the list of perfectly good fountain pens I already own.
I was very generously given a Parker 100 Honey White GT by a girl friend's pen collecting father. It was an amazing gift and my first gold nibbed pen. Prior to that I had been into mechanical pencils. Rotring and drafting equipment in general has been a weakness. As such, I procured a Rotring 600 in black with medium nib and smooth barrel to go with my pencils. I have only recently thrown myself into the eternal abyss that is collecting fountain pens, but I plan to enjoy the journey to financial poverty, but mechanical wealth. I have more pencils than pens, but this is an oversight I intend to correct; as finances allow.
On this journey into the depths, I intend to take part in the Month of Madness that is InCoWriMo and continue to work on my handwriting. I hope to lurk and learn as much as possible in the mean time.
