What do you write with your pens? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

Ive used /r/penpals before with good results, as well as swapbot. Would highly recommend a po box.

Hmm, interesting idea. Could this be a good community to start?

Perhaps! Though something like that would require a lot of moderation to make sure that users are trustworthy and not just farming addresses or PO boxes. Like, a verification system of some sort... I'm not sure where to even start with that! Does Lemmy even have flairs?

But it would be cool to have a place to discuss penpal-ing and other related stuff like wax seals or envelopes!
