I love all kinds of pens and inks! I have much heart set on TRP, with plenty of paper to last a lifetime. I am interested in trying onionskin paper, but I can't seem to find any.

I have plenty of entry-level pens, and a few more expensive Sailors, Opus 88, and Platinum pens in my collections. I really enjoy flex nibs, and I've been eyeing the Pilot Falcon nib (the smaller one), but I'm nervous about switching in an ebonite feed myself. I've tested other Pilot pens, and they're an absolute dream to write with! There are so many different options, I've been stuck in analysis paralysis when it comes to choosing one to buy. I love my Kakunos and Prera, but they tend to dry out rather quickly.

Inks are my current obsession! I'm trying to limit my fountain-pen-related spending, so inks are where I've been channeling my focus to try new things. My absolute favorite inks are chromashading, like the Sailor dual-shaders and yurameku collections. I've tried some Troublemaker inks too, and they're also stunning. I tend to lean towards non-traditional colors and properties to make my fountain pen writing experience all the more special.

My grail pen at the moment is a Franklin-Christoph Antique Glass pen. They're so elegant and beautiful, and I'd love to see some beautiful inks swirling around the barrel.

I love writing and sketching, so I set aside time every morning to practice this ritual. I travel a lot for work, so I try to keep my pens safe during flights and long car rides. It's nice to be able to bring a few pens along with me to decompress after a long day, and enjoy the peace that these pens bring.
