Photo of a page from my (paper) journal. Text reads: Dear Livejournal, Today I received a Conklin 30 in the mail from Yoon. The barrel is not much to look at but this nib is amazing. LOOK at the FLEX! And I'm not even pushing it to its max extension! (as demonstrated on an insert Yoon included). Apart from dip pens, I've never written with a nib this fun before. It is possibly wasted on me given how little I write and how poor my penmanship but I am sorely tempted to keep it anyway. If, that is, I can get used to its demand of a perfect 45 degree writing angle. Iroshizuki Shi-Kai Conklin Crescent 30

Many thanks again to [personal profile] yhlee for letting me take this pen for a no-strings-attached test drive before deciding to buy it or not. The last two days have totally made up for the spectacularly shitty start to this week. Hurrah!

I'm glad you're enjoying the test-drive! Trust me, I love flexy writing even though my penmanship is not the greatest! I have a Waterman 52V that I adore for this purpose or I would not be letting the Conklin out of my sight. *g* Have fun!

I'm curious what makes you say that?

It's handwritten! And it's happy, which doesn't hurt.
