What do you write with your pens? (self.fountainpens)

So we all love pens for the pieces of art they are, but they're also tools. So, what do you write with your pens? Do you journal, do you take notes? Do you use fountain pens for everything or just certain activities?

Personally, I write a lot of snail mail letters to friends, and I also use mine to take notes. I've never done a journal before, but I'm thinking it may be useful in helping me unpack some things. Plus, Midori makes some very nice looking 3 and 5 year journals.

Quite a bit of long form private notes at work of interviews with patients. Nowadays, we’re expected to eventually get them onto electronic systems. But during the interview itself, it’s still fairly satisfying to be able to write with such speed for long periods.

Unfortunately, legibility is generally pretty poor. But the way I see it, I get to spend more time later on admiring the nice shades to figure out what I was trying to write at that time.
