Nothing inspires great writing like a great pen.
The pleasure of using a fine writing instrument makes you look forward to writing, except maybe if it means paying the bills. Like a fine tool, a fine pen is both a work of art and a precision instrument. Whatever brand you choose, you will be getting a pen that can be cherished for a lifetime and still be enjoyed by your descendants. Of course, with the price of vintage pens, they may be afraid to use their inheritance.
