I wrote 11 books on my laptop, from start to finish. Then I discovered authors and screenwriters who write/wrote their first drafts by hand. And that led to really discovering the world of fountain pens. So I wrote my next manuscript completely by hand.
And because I an financially challenged, or money-impaired, I can't afford those expensive FP-friendly papers like Tomoe River, Clairfontaine, and such. And out of the 12 or 13 fountain pens I own, the most expensive one was only about $20. So the FP-friendly paper I did discover is HP Premium32 printer paper.
I have jumped feet first down the handwriting and fountain pen rabbit holes. And I dont plan on resurfacing anytime soon.
Now it's back to writing my next book. And thanks for the article.
Oh yes. Several. An MD page-a-day to write appointments in and as a place to test pens and inks and as a general scratchpad. A Leuchtturm notebook for work related matters in which I use in a loosely applied bullet journal way. That impresses and I think also scares colleagues a bit because they see me making notes during work and meetings. And finally a Café Note or a Stalogy 018 as a journal. And how does that help you might ask? Well. Just in order to tame the chaos in my head and to empty that head of stuff it does not need to remember any more because it is written down (and remembers anyway because of the act of writing it down in a lot of cases.) It gives me ease-of-mind. And a perfect excuse to amass writing utensils - primarily fountain pens and mechanical pencils.
