Funny you should mention that. That is exactly what I'm doing right now.
71% of the bible written out. I'm getting there.
@Flatfish that is an awesome endeavor! Keep chugging along!
Here is my Jinhao fountain pen. I really love it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that tomorrow is Carpal Tunnel Day, yes?
I love almost everything about Fountain pens...except I am left handed.
I have a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 585 with the 4810 14k nib that my wife gave to me for Christmas many years ago, and it still works flawlessly.
I also have a number of dip-pens (do they count in this holiday?) with which I use Esterbrook No. 313 Probate nibs (they were the favorite of the late author Shelby Foot and, after writing with them for a long time, I understand exactly why).

You too ! I have quite a few but a friend gifted me one of these and it has been my daily writer for some time. I am amazed and what a wonderful writer it is... the nib is architect/Hebrew in normal position and italic to the side :Happy fountain pen day everybody.
Actually Fountain pen makes a much more relaxed writing compared to ballpoints and if you have arthritis they make you write much more comfortable helping avoiding the development of carpal tunnel.
I do have many and love to write with them just for the sake of writing with them even is on today environment 99% of the writing is done with a keyboard
My late Mother was left-handed and wrote successfully with a fountain pen for years and years, so it can be done.
She told me that when she was in grade school one of her teachers tried to force her to be right-handed by tying her left hand; can you imagine that being done today?!?!

I’m left handed
Interestingly enough I play guitar righty because the guy at Norms in Brooklyn told me that a lefty bass was impractical and expensive
Guess I’m somewhat ambidextrous- but yes writing as a lefty is a messy bitch
Left handed, use a Parker 61 in preference to ballpoints for my pleasure. I must have bought it in 1974, barely used it, forgot about it and rediscovered it in 2018.
I’m left handed and I use a fountain pen daily. I use quick drying ink and it works just fine.
My favorite is Noodlers QE3. It’s a blue black.
It’s also waterproof.
Crazy story, I received a call from our local police department detective bureau telling me a check of mine was found in raid of a check washing scheme. Of the roughly 1,000 checks recovered, mine was the only check that the scumbags couldn’t wash the ink out of. The police were blown away. Noodlers QE3. lol.
Yea I like Noodlers for that reason - unfortunately check washing is still all too common as primitive as it seems
It happened to someone I know last year - what a pain that was
I recall reading that when he joined The Beatles, Paul McCartney played a backward-strung Höfner President bass.
