What are you journaling? I was raised to write a kind of diary  
for myself or write letters to family and friends.  It was  
always fun to get something back in the mail address to me: ESQ.

I received a few quality fountain pens back in the day.  I  
loved/hated using them. I did not always master the best flow of  
the ink. And at least one of them dried up and could not be  
replaced.

I have forgotten about the contruction of fountain pens. Do they  
both have internal ink bladders?  That's the thing that one of  
my favourite pens had and dried up enough to crack and then  
leaked ink.

Journals and calligraphy kits are having a modest reinterest in  
my shop.
