I don't recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren't any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

I kept trying to journal on my computer, but I would do it for a while, not write down anything useful and then just give up.

With the paper journal I just started writing, and the focus required using a fountain pen brought out a different side of my writing… Then I did something that really helped:I started keeping a list of everything that I wanted to write about. Once I had that list it was easier to commit to doing it every day — my brain treats my adding stuff to a list as a commitment.
