They're an excellent distraction to avoid actual writing.

That's pretty stuck up of you, all writing is writing, doesn't matter the utensil.

>>8264944
When they use ballpoint pens, they have to press dooooowwwn, when they need to press down, they write like monkeys~

>>8264952
yeah, my biggest fear keeping me from buying one, but... the fanciness~

I have a nice fountain pen I use to write a journal because it's comfy and therapeutic. I've not used a dip pen though I'd like to get one for art / maybe some calligraphy.

Writing an actual novel with it (or any pen, really) just seems horribly ineffective to me, though. Word processors are just better in almost every way for a writing/editing process for speed, the ability to duplicate/back up copies, and the ability to change things quickly.

Calligraphy pens are only useful for writing either Japanese or Chinese

>what are calligraphy brushes

>>8265017
hahaha I've seen threads for fancy word processors.

>>8265019
Unless you're writing in an office or on a deadline for a publisher, idk if speed should matter to a writer... hmmm. Of course not for a novel, though, little poems and pieces.
