Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

Maybe I’ll give them another try.
And this unlocked another memory - You couldn’t keep it in one spot on the page because the ink would start pooling there! And the pages in the notebooks were thin so this would cover up the notes on the other side.
So I had to raise the pen if I had to stop for some reason, which meant I had to figure out the correct angle again to continue writing. I also sometimes just tore through the page with the tip because it was quite sharp.
The day I could use ball point pens were a blessing, but even better were gel pens because they were way more comfortable than the ball point pens.
You may have been using a calligraphy nib. The one I have, and what most people use now, is far more rounded at the end. They are far easier to write with. You'd have to try to tear through the page.
