I journal mornings with stream of consciousness exercises, and
I’m again participating in Linda Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday. whenever I have time. I write to a timer, 15-20 minutes, no editing except spelling, and of course I add my art! You can do it too!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “flyer/ad.” Look at the latest ad you got in the mail (if it’s a store flyer, choose the product right in the middle of the page) or choose the next online ad you find, and theme your post on whatever the product is. Have fun!
Fountain Pen Revolution came today! Always nice when they are ads about what you want and about a sale… and there are going to be sales on the Himalayan UltraFlex.
I love these pens so much I draw them when I get them.
Beautiful swirling colors (may b the India connection but they are not color shy —
no boring pens here) and the ultraflex nib allows for flexing lines
without having to pay for a gold nib.
The sexy-flexy nib makes even my handwriting look good!
Some peeps have a bit of trouble with them — I’ve had to heat set the nib,
And that is not what some peeps want to do but it is so easy.
Don’t do it unless it is an ebonite fountain pen feed!
Saturday morning, 10am, and three telemarketers called while I was writing this…
NOT the kind of ads I like.
There is a special place in hell for the person who designed the robocall.
For the rules, go to Linda’s blog; feel free to join the fun!

That annoying loud-mouth editor/critic in your head? GONE! How great would that be?
Hmm. I’ve never used an actual fountain pen before. This makes me wonder about giving them a try!

I recommend going the inexpensive route, trying Platinum Preppy, or Plasir.
I still buy and use the Preppy — excellent pens, can buy cartridges, and it is not a big investment if you hate them. Ditto the Plaisir, but a metal b=ody and nicer looking — same pen.
Other good entry peens are below, and I would go with a medium nib unless you like fine lines — Jetpens does $25 free shipping.

The Plumix gives you a calligraphy nib only — lots of fun.
