Some authors still write first drafts of complete novels using a fountain pen.
I switched to using a fountain pen for most things a couple of years ago, including daily stuff at work (even though I work in IT there are still times when pen and paper beats electronic communication. )

The problem with this is that pen collecting can become addictive... I currently have 4 fountain pens (which I know isn't all that many, but is at least one more than I can easily justify...) - two at work, one in my bag, and one at home. I keep meaning to get a couple more for home so I can have them filled up with different colour inks! If I do, I might go for some more of the not too pricey Watermans Audace range - very different looking pens.

This whole thread makes it appear like learning cursive handwriting is very difficult. I really don't think it is all that difficult.
If I can improve my cursive/joined up handwriting, anyone can! Actually, it improved a lot just by using a fountain pen.
