Pens?

Anyone here use fancy pens at all?

I used to use a fountain pen a lot until my last one broke so I order a Lamy one and 2 bottles of ink. cost me about €40 but I hope it's worth it.


Anyone else like their pens?

I got a fancy pen from my parents as a Christmas present one year, I only ever use it to write out final drafts of my poems. Well, it looks fancy, but I doubt it cost more than €10 at most.

I actually do most of my writing on my phone, saving ideas and early drafts to my "saved messages" section

I cannot actually do computerised unless I have the final thing and I'm copying it out. I find it very difficult. Perhaps from it's writing up a dissertation that I need to have extensive notes. But then I'm just 'expanding on notes' not actually writing.

pencils are good but they wear down. I find them sore on the hands. Also wiht a pen nothing is really eraseable so you will always have all that you've written and all the mistakes until you come to the final revising/typing up stage.

I use a parker fountain pen.
Been using it for the past 4 years. Not the same one though, i keep losing them for some reason. But they're relatively inexpensive so i just buy a new one.

I write everything with it, even college exams and stuff. And i prefer to write on paper than type on computer. I like writing more than type i'ld say...
Though i usually end up coming up with better stuff while typing than when writing...
