Well, what a difference! I can write so much more neatly and easily with a pen that flows easily. My husband couldn't believe the difference either. I usually just use whatever Bic pen is around, the cheap kind that come in a 10 pack, but I guess I need to invest more money in good writing instruments. I am so happy that I don't have to struggle with handwriting anymore. Only took me nearly forty years to figure that one out!!

Off Topic: Left-Handed Writing
I don't know how many of you out there are lefties, or have a child who is, but I have just discovered something that has helped me tremendously. We lefties often have messy handwriting because we are holding the pen or pencil at weird angle, and pushing it across the paper instead of drawing it across the paper fluidly. I just started a new job, and I have to write much more legibly than I have been doing at home. So, knowing that I write beautifully with a calligraphy marker for some reason, I decided to buy myself a more expensive ball point pen specifically labeled "smooth writer."

I am left handed and my handwriting is awful for several reasons, but one of the big ones is holding my hand funny so my pinky doesn't drag in the wet ink. Does this pen's ink dry quickly?

The ink doesn't dry fast, unfortunately. I need to experiment with other brands to find one that doesn't smear!
I didn't know you were a lefty! Dominic and I both are and so is Andrew.
Cool!
