Though lately, I\u2019ve been once again getting into fountain pens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, I truly enjoyed fountain pens. I have a nice collection of them and have an assortment of inks. However, they sometimes become cumbersome to me. Maybe I wanted a different ink and the pen was full already, and maybe I didn\u2019t want to use a different pen for said ink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as I use different papers \u2013 specifically my Hobonichi planners\/notebooks that have a really nice paper \u2013 I want to use the fountain pens. The inks look brilliant on those papers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I\u2019m getting back into them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start, I\u2019m using some disposable ones \u2013 the Pilot Precise Varsity. They have seven colors that are really quite nice. It\u2019s allowed me to get back into the fountain pen world as I get my collection ready.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what do I have to do to them?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of them had been inked up. So that means they are dried out and I need to have them nice and clean before inking them up again. The process is a bit tedious, but I\u2019ve found it has been relaxing to a point. It\u2019s nice when they become clean and ready to use again. I also purchased a couple of new ones that caught my eye, which has been nice. And\u2026 I may have been looking at some inks as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beauty of inks for fountain pens is all of the different things they can do. They way the color spreads and how it comes different out of pens. The size of your nib can be a factor in this as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this month I will hopefully be inking up several pens with some fun inks. Writing should be fun, right? If you have to take notes or jot things down, at least make it interesting. Inking up is the way to help with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How about any of you? What do you write with? Do you like fountain pens and\/or use them?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-29538733-cee6-4596-8622-a36b19b39a6b\"><strong>Linkup for Day 2: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- start LinkyTools script -->\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.linkytools.com\/thumbnail_linky_include.aspx?id=313039\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\n<!-- end LinkyTools script -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-4239e6b7-97fa-42d0-b5bd-7a036ba5b982\"><em>Feel free to leave a comment, or e-mail P.J. at hoohaablog@gmail.com.
