    I write by hand so rarely now that it actually feels uncomfortable. To think I used to write entire essays and exams by hand. Would a better pen help improve stamina? Use to write with a fountain pen until college (school required it). No issues drawing though.

        I’m in the same camp. Feels unpleasant even to sign myself. Don’t think a pen is the answer

        Curious, do you write lightly or apply enough pressure to feel on other side of the paper? Unrelated (or not) but, it came to mind.

        I print, but a better "flowy" pen allows for longer writing times, especially cursive.

        I’m the same way. Certain pens feel more “fun” and less fatiguing to write with than others. For me the really cheap ballpoint pens are better than the slightly more expensive ones.

        I wonder if it's a buffer fatigue. I find it hard to handwrite these days because by the time i finish a sentence i already got bored and forgot what the next one should have been. Getting used to typing, which is way faster, might have killed off something important for it.

        What I capture depends on where I capture. I don't do dictation well yet (too close?) and physical writing word for word is too slow. Typing is about perfect. Though, I prefer physical for scatter shot thinking.

        A montblanc insert fits precisely into a G2 pilot barrel. $15 for a $200 writing experience.

        I feel the pen ease and applied pressure are def considerations to stamina. I’m personally most articulate (and succinct) when I write ideas out compared to other used mediums (typing and voice dictation). That may be because I need to conserve more energy.
