Just "cleaned" one of my #FountainPens and had the disassembled parts drying on a clean tissue. Found a small spot of ink where the nib was resting. Guess I've got to clean it a little better...
@Dianora (Diane Bruce) This particular pen hadn't been inked in several years until I did so a couple days ago. It's not typically one of my daily drivers. To be fair though, I've been out of the hobby for a while, and am only getting back into it somewhat recently.
I am not really a FP hobbyist I just love to write with a Fountain pen otherwise I have illegible handwriting. OTH I guess that does make me a FP hobbyist. hrmmm I don't go for the inks as .. others do but I do daily drive a FP. Otherwise as I said, I couldn't read my own handwriting!
@Dianora (Diane Bruce) I was a little out of practice, but my handwriting's starting to improve again, though I've mostly been writing in teeline (shorthand) which is pretty illegible in the first place.
I don't feel the need to gatekeep the term "hobbyist". I consider myself to have been a hobbyist from the day I bought my first fountain pen.
