Thread: Keep a journal?? Paper/Binding etc.

is writing with a fountain pen different than with a regular pen? is it a PITA for storage/maintenance?

Max you'd think I'd do it all on the computer wouldn't you, beings I spend so many hours a day in front of one. BUT I would rather do it on paper. I think later it would mean more. plus books are going the way of the dodo. and especially handwriting. in 20 years my daughters probably won't even know what cursive is.

I will write them letters later when they're older. they're 3 and 18mo right now. neither can read let alone get excited about mail. :-)

yes, it's very different. it's kind of like writing with a ballpoint, in the same way that driving a ferrari is kind of like driving a buick.

maintenance is higher than a ballpoint, but mostly consists of filling it with ink when it runs out. pretty minimal. certainly less work than a razor.
