About the writer

Ms. S is a fountain pen lover, novice nib grinder and psychology nerd with various research publications in the field of mental health.

She received her first fountain pen from her parents when she was little, simply because she was curious about how they were different from “normal” pens. Little Ms. S found that she enjoyed how it wrote. The joy of fountain pens went dormant only to be reawakened years later in her 20s. Along with the re-ignited love came the newly discovered disdain for weak-sauce paper that cannot handle the majesty of a smooth, juicy nib. Oh, and her wallet cried as she began collecting fountain pens.

Nowadays, she practices custom nib grinds and struggles to find budget-friendly pens and papers in Thailand, the land nearly barren of sweet, gliding nibs. Her musings are recorded here.
