The Namisu Naos is a substantial, all-metal pen sporting a #6 Bock nib. With unique design, quality manufacturing and competitive pricing, the Naos gets many things right.
The PenBBS 308 is a pen designed by fountain pen lovers. People who know their stuff. For me, it's an instant classic.
Moonman has released a second pen featuring their new #6 nib.
This time it's an acrylic demonstrator that looks to be the successor to the popular Moonman M2.
Aside from a larger nib, the C1 is designed as an eyedropper or a converter fill...
Fuliwen is not a pen brand I'm overly familiar with. It's been covered in Frank Underwater's blog and this particular pen, dubbed the Sceptre, has been reviewed by chrisrap52, WaskiSquirrel and Aaron's Pen Videos on YouTube. I didn't pay much a...

This science fiction teen novel is a gripping read. Fair Coin by E.C. Myers is an exciting book that even reluctant readers will enjoy.
This is a fun, diminutive-sized writing instrument, with a twist. The nib retracts! It's proving to be a pleasant alternative to the larger pens I've been enjoying lately. I can see it as a take-along pen for notes or general writing duties any ...
This pen really puts it all together:
Yes, it's another new Chinese fountain pen. If you like the Wing S 698, you'll appreciate the Caliarts Ego. The two pens are virtually the same size and weight and use interchangable Pilot 78G-compati...
There was a moment there when mechanical pencils took my fancy. My interest was peaked partly because of my son. Deep in the math weeds, pencils were his weapon of choice in his studies. It was also partly thanks to a friend from across the pon...
The PenBBS 456 is what the TWSBI Vac 700 could have been. Great size. Great weight. Great balance. This has got to be the best pen PenBBS makes right now.
First things first. This pen works really well. It's an achievement in terms of design and functionality. The more I use and understand it, the more I appreciate what the Parker 45 accomplished. What? Parker? But this is a Moonman... More on t...
Article originally posted in Nov. 2015 on the Fountain Pen Network. The nibs were part of a group buy that took place on the forum.
The Ambitious Nib group buy proved to be a real treasure trove and a great experience personally in trying out d...
This was a pen I was prepared to like. At $12, it's a bargain. Its small size, however, will keep it from becoming a personal favorite. But for some folks, this new Delike wood fountain pen can be a real winner.
I love the wood. After my positi...
The PenBBS 309 could be the only pen you need. Near ideal in size and weight, the 309 posts perfectly and holds a lot of ink. And it was one of the first pens PenBBS made!
There are many places where you can practice writing online. There is of course here, WriterShelf. I like it the best because of the ability to have multiple pen names. Still, it's good to have different places to write in addition to WriterShelf.
It's great to be able to grab some random colors for inspiration. All too often it's easy to just go with the same old color combinations that we tend to gravitate to naturally. To avoid falling into that rut, it's good to switch up the colors. ...
Source Gardening is a little different than your typical indoor plant lover. First of all, gardening includes the joy of being outside growing vegetables and fruits. We know people who love actively gardening in their own backyards or those who...
If you'd asked me a year or two ago to have a look at a wood-bodied fountain pen, you'd not have gotten much more than polite interest. I mean, where do you find wood in vintage pens or among modern makers? Wood, I figured, was for home hobbyis...
Come for the cap, stay for the nib and the balance in your hand. Taiwanese pen maker Fine Writing International's 6th generation brass pen Golden Armour is a unique pen you'll want to check out.
The Precision is unlike any of the other TWSBI pens in my collection. Nonetheless, it's turned out to be a more than welcome addition. The design has won me over; I'm all in. The quality is more than evident. The writing performance is flawless. T...

I want to start off with the fact that I am personally not a very good dancer: but definitely one in learning. I have never found 'not knowing how to dance' a huge problem (except for in school dances, of course) until I started to do theater.

Theater has always been apart of my life ever since I was pretty little, but it was recently reintroduced into my life as something way more important.
Before, I believed theater and acting was mostly about learning your lines, and pretending ...
