    Wink Go Go Girl.

    The TWSBI Go. A relatively new-to-me pen. I saw it, had to have it. Because the giant spring that operates its filling system just called to me.

    It seems to be made of Tupperware, but that's okay. It's light yet fat, so it's comfortable in my hand. There's no clip, but the cap has a sort of roll stop so it won't travel on its own.

    And this is the clear model so I can look at the ink and the spring all day. I got the Fine nib, which I have on a TWBI Eco, thinking it would be... fine.

    Ha! This is a gusher, a firehose. The nib is smooth enough, but the first fill (Monteverde Malibu Blue) laid down like a sopping wet B. So did a normally dry ink mix that's darker blue. How about Chesterfield Antique Jade? That's dry. And it's light, dull green.

    It went down like it was applied with a cookie press, and read black. Start over.

    Wait, what's blue, but the driest ink I have? Of course. Pelikan Königsblau. Whew. It seems to work. Now happily scribbling notes with it. And this is one TWSBI that won't crack.


    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!


    And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:
