French ruling is pretty cool for indents and consistient writing https://www.gouletpens.com/clairefontaine-classic-french-ruled-wirebound-notebook/p/C68141

do you write in some fancy cursive or like a normal person

I write in a psuedo-cursive

I switched to cursive recently and I'm still figuring out how I want to write

I print when I need to but I usually connect my letters

i tried out an all caps style recently, and I think i like it

gives you a bit more time to think

you can write however you like with an fp as long as you've a proper grip

i assume there's good chink fp right

yes

Jinhao

because 100$ sounds ridic

don't worry chinese pens were my gateway

no retractable fp though

pilot vanishing point and decimo

that just looks so silly lmao

and the lamy dialog but no one likes it since you need 2 hands to open it anyway (twist the end to push nib out)

I have a VP. Good writer with a slightly springy nib

I have india ink and pen nibs. I can just bring that into class

dip pens are the way of the future

if y'all like pens, i'd like to see your penmanship

My newest pen is the Pilot Custom 74. Springy nib and great flow
