I write every story in long form because it just flows so much easier from thought to paper. When I try typing, I find myself editing my thoughts, and that’s the antithesis of a first draft! I’d get hooked on the aesthetic of different colored inks, too. That’s a clever way to mark progress!
I was very happy to get my Nana’s fountain pens. Non of them are fancy but all of them are so cool. I have this cool old lamy with an italic nib. I’m excited to hear about fountain pen drawing!
I write in fountain pen every day, too! Mainly in a Rhodia notebook, usually some kind of writing warm-up (these days I'm all about brainstorming metaphors, after attending Liz Garton Scanlon's brilliant sessions at SCBWI Florida). My fave pens (though I have many):
Pilot Custom 823 with FA nib (currently inked with Iroshizuku Kon Peki)
Pilot Falcon, Soft Fine (currently inked with Iroshizuku Syo Ro)
but also recently inked up my Edison Nouveau Seaglass with Mont Blanc Lavender Purple and inked up my Platinum Century 3776 with Iroshizuku Momoji

I'm a big fan of flex nibs.
