A constant and almost unnoticeable weight in your pocket and in your life, you transfer it from one pair of pants to the next as a matter of habit. You might go days without using it, but you are guaranteed to need it on the rare occasion you leave it at home.
You are using it now, to write this post (you don’t remember starting). You also have a daily ‘to-do’ list of sorts in the works… making your way down, checking things off, scratching things out. There are names, actions, and chores. They will be addressed.
Writing never felt so satisfying. The nib glides across the page, every word in perfect copperplate. You’ve never felt stuck or lost—the hardest part about writing with this pen is stopping.
Well, that…and the headaches.
Montblanc Fountain Pen (No. 811): Hand-crafted 14k gold nib. Rhodium-coated accents on black resin. Writes in one of eight bespoke inks, specific to user…AB+, for example. (Sub-group inks available as needed) Imported.
