All inked up, suited up, and ready for fancy writing
I’m carrying a serious look into the coming week. Three pens in black and white and chrome. One’s suit pants, suit jacket and shoes. A white and black Visconti. One’s dress shirt. The Cypress’ muted earth tones serve as one’s classic leather watch band. And a tangerine Sailor for a pop of memorable color. Or, as my old roommate used to say: always wear one piece of clothing that doesn’t match.
Building an interview day carry
I need an interview carry this week. A collection of pens and ink colors that present professionally. All kitted with nibs that write well through the rapid scribbling of fast-moving interviews. Because I’m running on-campus interview gauntlet and my currently inked needs to be on point.
That’s a mighty bold kit for such an EF-loving writer
Give me novelty. Add ripples to my rhythm. Populate my penvelope with bold nibs. This week’s currently inked sextet heavily favors wide nibs.
Striking a balance between moderates
I entered this week reflecting on my nib choices. With nibs on my mind, I opted for a septet that balances broad lines (two B nibs), medium lines (two M nibs), and three narrow lines (three F nibs). Balance in all things stationery. Stationery in all things balanced.
