@kirakphillips: I gotta get up a wee bit earlier if I want a full journaling session in🙂↔️ Using: • Esterbrook Estie in Amber Tortoise @Esterbrook Pen Tok • Teranishi Guitar - Nostalgic Honey • Hobonichi Cousin #stationery #fountainpen #journaling #inks #esterbrook
The amount of times I’ve written “what is wrong with this pen?!” In my journal only to realize it’s out of ink… LOL

Refilling it on top of your journal!? You’re brave!! I just know if that were me at 5am I would be spilling or tipping ink bottles haha. I love this pen and ink combo!

My first Estie, I made the mistake of putting shimmer ink in it and ruined the nib. I tried flushing it and put regular ink in, but it kept randomly skipping because left over shimmer particles remained. I was heartbroken, thinking I ruined it forever and kept testing it, in hopes the shimmer would clear.. then, I got one of those denture/jewelry cleaners. PEN SAVED. So if it ever IS the pen, and it was due to shimmer- get one of those and it will save any and all pens! It also saved my TWSBI, that got clogged over time, from the same ink over and over. Best purchase ever!

It’s never that the pen is out of ink. Couldn’t be! It has to be a faulty pen. 😂

Kudos to you for carving out some time to journal! I have absolutely 0 thoughts early in the morning, so I have to journal at night after the day.
