More scrawling from my hand

The designs made by blowing on a blotch of ink on paper remind me of highways radiating from a large city.

I forgot to mention that I was having trouble with my Zebra stainless steel ballpoint skipping, as well as just about every other ballpoint pen I use, which partly prompted me to buy a blue extra-fine point Lamy Safari. The other reason was I wanted a more practical way to write in style than my dip pen. Which is not practical at all.

My writing is much less sloppy with a felt tip pen though. It actually looks rather consistent and nice. But still not as fun… hopefully a fountain pen will meet somewhere between the two.

26 IX 2013 / Dip Pencast

The record book is from the 1950s, the pen holder is probably from the 1940s, the nib was bought new in the mid-2000s, and the ink (made right in Seattle and costs the same as the Higgins India ink I dislike) is from the 2010s.

After a bit of research it looks like this probably isn't the best nib for ordinary writing.
