My friend Christine just dropped off this beautifu My friend Christine just dropped off this beautiful pen! Ready for story time?

Christine aka @writeunafraid won a giveaway for a Montegrappa Zero from their configurator. Every component of the pen has multiple options, nearly half a billion configurations possible. She was happy with her pens and decided to gift the gift to someone else: me.

I spent a few days trying different combinations. I have a strong preference for a silver trim and a full metal barrel is too heavy for me. Some thing we're already set in stone early on, like a gold nib. All options were available to me and there was no budget limit.

The Montegrappa nibs are absolutely gorgeous and having another gold nibbed pen is a true gift in a gift. It's a broad nib too and I hope it's juicy.

Montegrappa has their own resin patterns, like the one I picked. This pattern is called Freedom, with blue, red, white, and black colours mixed together. So why this pattern? Have you noticed the background I'm using?

I just re-released Devil's Deal and this pattern has all the colours from all the covers, not just book one, but also book two and three. If you're subscribed to my newsletter you'll know what the other covers look like. For everyone else, this is a teaser 😉

And why Write Unafraid? It's Christine's username so a reminder of who gave it to me, but the words in themselves also have meaning. "Write without fear". Don't worry about what others might think, don't listen to impostor syndrome. Write because you love it.

It's a really beautiful Christmas gift. Honestly, the timing of everything coming together is so perfect and that just confirms again a wizard is never late, nor early. He arrives exactly when he means to. No coincidence, just how things are meant to be.

Big thank you to @writeunafraid @montegrappaitalia
@the.scribe.co and @penstatement for this gorgeous pen, the perfect Christmas present!
My entry for #freefountainpenfriday! Serious nibba My entry for #freefountainpenfriday! Serious nibbage on these two bad boys. They don't only look pretty but also write like a dream. Super smooth and especially the Nemosine is very wet. They're both medium but their width is very different. The Nemosine often feels more like a broad while the Pineider leans more towards a fine medium. It all depends on the ink though.

I ordered this beautiful pen from @scritturaelegan I ordered this beautiful pen from @scritturaelegante. It's the Puro from their brand of pens and I picked the semi flex nib since I didnt have one those yet. Nib photo in the second picture.

The material of the pen is resin with chrome details. I really like the blue flakes in the dark resin and there's visible depth. I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked it. 

The nib is an experience! I haven't written with nibs with any line variation before so I'm still trying to get the hang of it. But the variety is pretty okay I think. Especially for a steel nib and with this low price.

They're running an extra deal on the Puro today and tomorrow with 30% discount instead of the 15% discount they have the rest of the month. So don't miss out! They also include markers with every pen purchase.

I won the @dutchpenshow peach ink by @robertosters I won the @dutchpenshow peach ink by @robertostersignature and I'm in love 😍 see the shading in the last picture. It's a gorgeous mix of orange and pink. And it fits perfectly with my Rose Gold TWSBI! Definitely one I'm going to use regularly.

Thank you so much @dutchpenshow and @appelboompennen and thank you @robertostersignature for this gorgeous ink.

Today the @dutchpenshow would've been but sadly it Today the @dutchpenshow would've been but sadly it was cancelled too. It was the event I was most looking forward to. Mostly because of pretty pens, but also because the pen community is the best.

@appelboompennen is hosting a special #freefountainpenfriday this weekend, giving away a Leonardo limited edition especially made for the Dutch Pen Show. It's a beautiful colour and I think it would be a nice colour block for this set I've posted now 😁

Pictured are the TWSBI 580 Prussian Blue, Sailor Studio ink 841 which matches perfectly with my logo. I love it so much. The Prussian Blue is the closest pen colour I've seen so far and couldn't let it get aeay from me.

My entry for #freefountainpenfriday! A purple pen My entry for #freefountainpenfriday! A purple pen paired with my favourite purple item. Meet Tristana, the purple yordle from League of Legends. Here she is in her dragon trainer uniform because dragons are awesome. I used to play a lot of League of Legends and Tristana was one of my favourite champions to play.

The pen is a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Purple Cosmos. I'm really with it because I love purple (especially the blue-purples) and it has sparkles. It's also one of the few gold nibs I have.
