These days I'm all about simplicity. I have one pen inked, and I'm using only one notebook.

The Dizzy Pen 
It’s nice to know a bit about you. I’m a transplant to the South as well, but not the deep South at the moment. Congrats on your recent marriage and I look forward to reading more from you.
I wish you could edit these comment because I just wondered in my head if you are interested in the history of writing instruments. I’m done now, I swear.
I am marginally interested in the history of fountain pens, but not enough to undertake any serious research in that area. I’m actually more interested in which writing instruments historical figures would have used. This includes writing desks, paper, wax, wax seals and inks.
