As a Writer, Should you Have a Fountain Pen and A Writer’s Notebook?
Not everyone should go out and get a writer’s notebook.
The amount of free technology in laptops and phones, to be frank, makes notebooks almost obsolete.
That being said if you are someone that still enjoys the feel of the page. The feel of a good pen gliding across the page, then you MUST absolutely get a writer’s notebook pronto, especially if you are not currently using one.
And if you are the type of person that loves the manual art and act of writing in a notebook, then you MUST must must look into getting a fountain pen for your writer’s notebook.

Why get a fountain pen?
Regular pens are fine, but I haven’t enjoyed any pens I’ve owned more than my fountain pens.
For a creative like me, my fountains pens are a part of the creative process.
The different colored inks you can use, the way they flex, the inks you can blend, the way the pen feels heavy and more premium all are things that I enjoy in my writing process when I’m using one of my own.

I for one do a ton of my writing and work straight from my computer. A lot of my work never touches a physical page.
But my passion projects and my meditations they often hit a notebook page, and something about writing through and working on my penmanship simultaneously with the feel of an exquisite notebook and fountain pen in my hand, something about that interaction makes the act of writing feel more therapeutic and enjoyable.
