  3. For FPD, I’m going to ink-up a gold nib Parker 51 that I scored on Ebay and recently had checked out at the Fountain Pen Hospital (which brought no small measure of relief).

  4. I’ll be writing with a VP with a Masuyama worked nib. I might have to break down and order a new fountain pen to add to the collection, too!

  6. I think I will clean and re-ink the 2 pens I use at the office with a funky color in honor of the day.

  7. I plan to write every day in November and will use a fountain pen on Friday,. Perhaps I’ll even order a fountain pen of my own! (I usually use my husband’s)

  10. I will be fishing in Sanibel, FL, with my current old and tattered fishing vest and jotting notes about my catch in my Field Notes using a pen that hopefully has not run out of ink!

  12. If all goes well, camped out in my local coffee house with my iPod, notebook, and two or three pens, scribbling several hours away.

    BACK PLOT GREMLINS, BACK I SAY!

  14. I am running low on variety in my ink samples so I think Friday will be a good time to take inventory and plan a list of things to buy/try.

  17. I will be using my new M800 Tortoise to prepare a lecture on Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring”

  19. In honor of Fountain Pen Day I am going to use my LAMY AL Star 2015 Copper Orange Limited Edition F nib that my boyfriend brought me back from Germany last year. He didn’t even know what he was buying – just knew it was a fountain pen. Oh, and I’ll be wearing my Pen Addict t-shirt, also. Thanks for the giveaway!

  20. I am celebrating by looking at all the great sales that will occur, and probably buying more pen related stuff I may or may not need…

  21. I’ll probably buy a new ink this week and ink up a few pens in different colors and draw random suff

  22. I plan to write all day long with my various fountain pens. Then to take stock of which cartridges I need. Finally, find a guide to using a converter so I can use ink from a jar!

  23. I’m going to write some letters with my TWISBI Eco clear and post a drawing I’ll make using my Noodler’s Ahab to Facebook 🙂

  25. I’ll celebrate by using, like I do every day, a fountain pen. My Lamy everyday pen is starting to show its age, so maybe I’ll shop for a new pen today too. Too bad you’re not giving away a Nakaya Decapod, now that would be a great way to celebrate Fountain Pen day.

  26. That’s the day I’ll get my Edison Nouveau Fall 2016 from Goulet Pens, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be inking it up with something seasonal (Momiji? Autumn Oak?) and writing a letter with it.

  27. I will be at a School Librarian’s conference on Friday, so I will be taking copious notes with my Lamy Safaris (I have 8 in different colors), my Pilot Metropolitans (2 of those) and my Kaweco Sport in mint. Inevitably, people want to borrow my pens, which makes me cringe, so I’ll need to bring some throw-away ballpoints to share.

  28. I will more than likely be writing a sermon for the following Sunday. I write my notes in my own version of calligraphy so of course I use either Ahab or ECO.

  29. I’m going to leave notes all over the house for my kids–using my fountain pen and written in long hand. Maybe I’ll offer a reward for the first to correctly decode one of their “secret messages.” Hmmmmm….

  30. I am working (at a LYS) on Fountain Pen Day, however, I’ll be wearing my official t-shirt.

  31. I’m going to crack into a brand spanking new Seven Seas notebook and that I plan to use as my commonplace book for the next 1+ year.

  32. This probably sounds boring, but I’m going to do a clean sweep to make sure all my fountain pens are flushed and filled with beautiful ink. Then I will be ready for another year of fountain-pen fun.

  33. I’m planning on visiting the local pen store (Appointments) and buy a new Kaweco Traveler case to hold my Sports.

  34. I’ve been making Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) to trade with my artsy friends. I’ll be incorporating one of my pens to write captions instead of using pre-made words. Sounds easy, but when you have handwriting like me, it’s a leap of faith.

  36. Well, I wish I could say that I would be using a fountain pen on Fountain Pen Day, but I don’t actually own one. That is why it would be so terrific if I won this contest!!

  37. My plan for FPD is to enter as many contests for FP giveaways as I possibly can, since I’m on a pen-buying hiatus til xmas.

  39. Wow, Ana! Thanks for the giveaway!

    This Fountain Pen Day I’ll be celebrating the joyous occasion by wearing the great FP Day t-shirt I got last year and finally undertaking the Great Organization of the Ink Drawer that I have been putting off forever – swatch testing all of my ink samples and bring some order to a drawer full of chaos.

  40. I’be been posting a pic of a single pen or pencil every day this week on Facebook and Twitter saying happy fountain pen day 2016! Also I dedicate a different instrument for every school course or work task I” doing.

  42. I plan to use my fountain pens for note-taking, perhaps inking up my grandfather’s Parker 75, and to explain to my very patient family what Fountain Pen Day is.

  43. I plan to use my Lamy Joy and TWSBI clear Ecco with Ben Bernake Blue to continue my Liz Steele foundations course.

  46. in preparation for NFD, i bought 6 bottles of ink (YES, SIX). they should arrive by thursday, so i plan on spending the day testing out the new inks as i write letters to friends and update my planner / journal. 🙂

  47. To celebrate I will take some time to write and send old fashioned letters to my daughter and son.

  49. I plan to clean out my low ink fountain pens. I’ve been re-inking them instead of cleaning.

  50. Well, I didn’t KNOW Friday is Pen Day. But now that I do, I think it’s a good day to clean all my fountain pens. So there.

  51. I am buying a Pilot Metropolitan and bottle of ink for my neice to introduce her to fountain pens. She already. Also, I plan on inking up my FC pen with some new ink which I’ll be using for the rock your handwriting challenge.

    1. I will spend my Founain Pen day writing at work with my favorite pens in anticipation of that extra hour of sleep I will get on Saturday.

  53. I’ll be having all of my currently-inked pens at work, with some decent copy paper from home, for co-workers to try, and generally taking on the role of enabler 🙂

  55. I have letters that I need to write to soldiers overseas – so will be writing my letters with my fountain pens (LAMY, Pilot Metro and probably a Jinhao)

    Thank you for the great giveaway

  57. I will be in an all-day conference, and I already have my fountain pens and ink packed and ready to go.

  58. I’ll be spending fountain pen day poll watching for Hillary. Less pen-centric than usual, but it’s really meaningful and important.

  59. I’ll be spending fountain pen day writing down my thoughts on how happy I am writing with a fountain pen rather than with an awful ballpoint!

  61. Thanks for doing this!!

    I will mark this august occasion by inking my EDC Decimo F with Diamine Teal, a new and slightly off-the-beaten-track color for me. Time to rock something different!!

  63. I’m going to buy something, probably some ink. I’m also going to wish all my friends a Happy Fountain Pen day, much to their amusement.

  65. I will spend Fountain Pen Day cleaning the early 1960s Sheaffer Imperial pen (burgundy with a gold band) that I “borrowed” from my mom some years back. Maybe I’ll even return it.

  66. To celebrate, I will… write with fountain pens! (In particular, I’ll take one with my on my business trip, which I don’t always do when there’s airplanes involved.)

  67. I have a job interview, so I’m planning on prepping for that. Prep (notes) will be made using a fountain pen, but I’ll be taking a rollerball to the interview just in case I need to fill out any forms.

  68. I’m going to celebrate by using fountain pens of course. I’ll be at school, so notes! 🙂

  69. I plan to send 3 postcards to my Postcrossing list and one letter to my penpal on Friday- National Fountain Pen day.

    1. Eep, I forgot my ‘what I’m gonna do’. I’m going to clean and re-ink a few pens. I’ve been lazy lately and only have a Platinum inked with a cartridge so it’s about time to break out the colors.

  71. I will be spending Fountain Pen Day working and trying to catch up on the word count I’m already behind on for NaNoWriMo.

  73. Thank you for the reminder. I had planned to spend the day baking for a tea, but now I will take time to write a letter with my fountain pen.

  74. I think I’ll ink up a few more pens from my too-large collection and spend my day writing in obnoxiously bright colors!

  75. During the day I will be enjoying the use of a fountain pen to take notes at work (FPD should be national holiday so we don’t have to work…). In the evening, I plan to start a letter to a new pen pal.

    Thanks for the giveaway and the wonderful blog posts!

  76. I’ll be browsing sales, trawling eBay for parts pens, and washing out a few pens to re-ink later.

  77. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

    This Friday I plan on writing everything in fountain pen that day and practicing my Super Fancy handwriting.

  78. I will spend part of the day working on my fountain pen technique. I just bought my first fountain pen, very excited!

  79. I’m going to write. My daily book writing time will be split between my Lamy Nexx and my Vanishing Point. If I get wild and crazy, I’ll write a letter!

  82. I’m going to work on some writing projects, expound the joys of fountain pen use on social media, and try to convince my wife that this hobby doesn’t make me insane.

    Probably all while wearing my Pen Addict t-shirt.

  83. I’ll head downtown to the pen shop & look for a new bottle of ink — something fun and out of the ordinary.

  84. I will be trolling the web for new and unusual fountain pens and ink and notebooks, and doing a bit of calligraphy on a wedding certificate for a newly wed couple (with a fountain pen, of course!).

  85. I’ve got a letter from a new pen pal in South Africa that needs a response, so I’m going to pick a special pen and ink and finally get that letter written.

  88. I move on Thursday (stress!!) so Friday I will be pen organizing (zen!!)! Just me, pens, paper and tea. Bliss.

  89. On Fountain Pen Day I will take my fountains pens to work even though we have crappy paper and use them on the crappy paper. Also I will post a pic of my pen collection on Facebook so everyone can drool over their beauty! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

  90. Will be preparing to hopefully attend the Texas Book Festival here in Austin, TX. Maybe send my daughter a postcard – try to do once a week. She’s a senior in nursing school at Texas A&M.

  91. I just recevied a new bottle of MB Irish Green ink to use in a letter I will write on Friday.

  92. Unfortunately, there are no stores that sell fountain pens in my town, so I am just going to be sitting at home using my pens to write!

  93. I am waiting for a new Safari to arrive in the mail. I hope to be able to ink it up and use it for my morning pages this Friday!

  95. I’m planning to send off another nib for a custom grind and I’m SUPER excited about it!

  97. Celebrating Fountain Pen Day by rocking both of my Pilot VP’s at work – I usually use pencils and gel/ballpoint pens.

  98. I’ll celebrate by an extra long journal entry on the beauties of fountain pens in a digital age.

  100. I am going to teach my office mate how to use a fountain pen. He had never seen one until this week.

  101. I intend to just keep on writing.
    With all of the goodies here how could anyone ever stop.

    Cheers

  102. Finally getting around to loading up my Vanishing Point stub nib with J. Herbin Caroube de Chypre Ink and working on my italic.

  103. I will take my fancy pen to work and make people write with it. Also I will make a ink drawing to #aspink to make it look like if finished more in Inktober.

  105. Thanks for the giveaway(s)! I’m going to ink up a couple of favorite pens and use them all day long. I haven’t decided which ones yet, or which inks. Stay tuned!

  106. I’ll be at a conference all day and taking notes – probably with my brushed aluminum Karas Kustom with medium nib and J. Herbin’s Rouge Hematite!

  107. I plan to finish two letters to close friends with a mix of currently inked fountain pens. I’ll also be posting to Instagram pics of pens and inks I’m currently using.

  110. I’m hoping to get some much needed work done on my short story, using my Pelikan, Sheaffer, and Lamy fountain pens of course! Switching inks and pens does well to keep my interest on the paper for long periods of time. 🙂

  113. I am going to use my fountain pen to grade my calculus exams and hopefully write lots of messages like “Excellent!” and “Great job!”

    1. I loved my teachers’ comments on my papers simply because they were written in fountain pen! Southerners held on to their pens long after ball points invaded but not long enough in my opinion. 🙂 I couldn’t afford my first fp until long after they were out of fashion.

      I hope you’ll convert and bring another fp lover or three to the fold. 🙂

  114. I plan to spend some quality time with my kids creating things with fountain pens and ink and teaching them more about how fountain pens work.

  115. I will use my Pilot Decimo fine point filled with Diamine Ancient Copper to complete a section of my life journal paying homage to my mother. And then clean some of the fountain pens that are currently in use and change some ink colors to “spice” things up a bit!

  117. Mostly I’ll follow the usual routine of teaching and meeting with students, but I’ll make sure to mention the festive day in my classes. Should I plan to load up my shirt pocket with as many pens as it can hold?

  118. I work in healthcare, so I’ll be using my fountain pen to scratch out patient notes. Even a simple task like that can be kept classy.

  120. I’m going to have a fountain pen cleaning day! Some of my pens haven’t been cleaned in a while and probably need it.

  122. I plan to try out a new ink I have just gotten my hands on. Probably going to take it to school to take notes in

  123. On Fountain Pen Day I will clean ALL pens that are waiting to be cleaned, and I will straighten up my desk and better organize my pens, ink, and pads.

  125. In honor of Fountain Pen Day I will do all my work in every color of the rainbow! Thank goodness I work with children!

  126. I’m going to don my Fountain Pen Day tee shirt (bought just a month or so ago from the official FPD eBay shop), tuck my traveler’s notebook and Sheaffer NoNonsense into my jacket pocket, and finally make my pilgrimage to the Fountain Pen Hospital in NYC. I work right across the river in Hoboken, but haven’t managed to make the time to visit. That oversight gets corrected on Friday.

  129. I will be hanging out with one of my best friends and we will be visiting various stationery shops and writing fun stuff with our fountain pens!

  130. I’ll celebrate by wearing my fountain pen day shirt, using my favorite pen and ink all day, and overall being a fountain pen evangelist.

  131. I gave stationery for my “Christmas in July.” I’m giving fountain pens and dip pen sets for the holidays. My first fountain pen was a 98 cents Schaffer. I never stopped dreaming of owning an expensive fine-writing instrument yet now own three inexpensive fp.

    My teachers all wrote with fountain pens that had a uniform black body with rubber bladders, and I believed those pens made their handwriting uniform and beautiful too. Little did I know that the penmanship classes I loved would shape my hand to mimic theirs; then I developed my own style. Who knew I’d go on to learn to draw with a fountain pen as an artist?

    Fountain pens make writing easier now that I’m aging and my fingers ache from ghostly premonitions of arthritis-waiting-to-come? Still I write on.

    Happy Fountain Pen Day!

  132. I recently ordered pretty Thanksgiving cards. I might start writing them out Friday evening. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

  133. On Fountain Pen Day, I’ll be cleaning my Pilot Decimo and refilling with my favorite ink (Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki). Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

  135. I plan on writing some letters and giving away some fountain pens to beginners. Thanks for the giveaway!

  136. The simple answer is by inking up my pens and sending off some notes. However, I am trying to create an interest in fountain pens within my circle of friends . . . . so it’s a great opportunity to promote pens, ink, and paper to them through social media sharing and posting on my personal blog.

  138. I’m planing on giving away a couple of fountain pens to my dear ones and ink and use a new pen i got this past weekend.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  139. I will be taking some very fancy notes during my Dungeons and Dragons game. Or possibly instead writing a Welcome Baby card as one of my friends is about to become a father any day, which will mean the session is cancelled. I’m thinking of inking up my TWSBI Eco with Robert Oster Green Green since the pen is almost out of ink.

  143. I would begin addressing my Christmas card envelopes as I do this time every year. It is so nice to get this done ahead of time so that I have time to really enjoy the holidays.

  145. I’ll celebrate Fountain Pen Day using my mother’s 1950’s Esterbrook fountain pen. She did clerical work before leaving to get married and raise 7 children. I’m new to the fountain world – but what better way to get started using a vintage pen used by mom!

  146. Great way to celebrate the Day.
    I plan on celebrating by using a host of fountain pens and several different ink colors.

  147. I will probably write and doodle with my fountain pens all day, then clean and re-ink them 🙂

  148. Wow this is so exciting! I think I will make thank you cards for some of my professors with fountain pens on friday!!

  150. I’m going to write the great American novel, or the perfect poem, but probably some mindless drivel.

    1. Hopefully (depending on work, dang it) I plan to finally embark on a small project I have to create an artistic piece of writing to scan and then print on a coffee mug, which I will give as a present to a dear friend of mine!

  152. I plan to work on Nanowrimo and probably also go purchase some size 5 double points because I have a baby hat to finish and the circulars just aren’t going to cut it!

  153. I’m going to write a note to Matt Armstrong to thank him for re-awakening my interest in fountain pens and for the incredible care he puts into his reviews and videos.

  154. On Fountain Pen Day, I will probably sit down for an hour with my pens, a sketchbook, and a mug of coffee. Thank you for the giveaway!

  156. I’m planning to clean out some pens and re-ink some older pens that I haven’t used in a while. Maybe do an ink trade with some friends. Happy fountain pen day! Thanks for the giveaway!

  159. I plan on loading up my fishing vest with all of my favorite fountain pens (who am I kidding, they’re all my favorite) and then sharing the glory with everyone I encounter.

  160. I plan to write soley with my fountain pen, so that I can clear space for new ink colors.

  161. Yahoo fountain pen day! I’m going to ink up a pen and write out my plan for thanksgiving- who is coming, way we’re eating, how to get it all done, and some ideas for getting a good conversation about gratitude started.

  164. I plan on dragging the full handful of Preppies to work to let kids try out and because I’m a sucker, almost inevitably keep. It’s too much fun to see how fascinated they are by nibs!

  166. I’m going to lay out all of my beautiful fountain pens and stare at them. Then I’ll write some gibberish in one of my beautiful notebooks that says the name of the pen, the ink color and how much I love it!

  167. I will clean out all my pens, then set up the next go around. i’m going to reorganize my inks, and use something I haven’t tried yet — the KWZ inks I bought at the DC pen show.

    I’m also going to wear my FPD T-shirt to work 🙂

  169. I plan to use my Kaweco all day at work (desk-sitting that day!) and I’m looking forward to it. Thanks!

  170. I’ll be flushing my TWSBI Mini that I picked up at the Colorado Pen show & filling it with a new ink.

  172. I’ll be writing in my Rhodia journal with my Noodler’s Konrad filled with iroshizuku tsuki-yo ink. How much better can it get?

    Perhaps I’ll ink my Edison with Noodler’s Nightshade!

  174. I think I’ll put aside my pencils that day and find ways to use my Fountain Pens at work and perhaps write a letter or two in the evening…

  175. I’m so looking forward to sketching with a fountain pen Friday (if not sooner)! I limited myself to markers and brush pens all last month for Inktober, and I miss my FPs!

  190. Thanks for this contest!

    As for how I am going to celebrate Fountain Pen Day, I am going to do a nice and thorough cleaning of all the pens I have used and to re-ink them with inks I have never matched with them before along with updating my ink journal. There have been quite a few inks added to the collection.

  193. I will conspicuously display all my currently-inked pens at work, and post show-off-y pics to all my social media accounts! ;D

  200. Gonna be using my pens to take notes in my studies and readings like I usually do. Might ink up a pen with a fall color!

  205. I shall be writing a letter to my wife the night before. Then leave it, so that she wakes to find it. Telling her, how much I appreciate her and all the things she does, using my favorite pen, an Edison Pen and the best penmanship I can muster,

  206. I’m taking a bunch of my fountain pens and notepads over to Girl’s Night, and I’m going to introduce a bunch of my friends to the joys of this hobby.

  216. I’m going to pull out pens I’ve not used in a very long time, and bring to work with me instead of my usual ones. Will also bring a pen to give away and if anyone mentions I’m using a fountain pen, I’ll give it to them.

  219. Unfortunately I will be working, but I plan on writing quite a few of my pen pal letters during my lunch break that day to celebrate. Really love using fountain pens for my every day writing and just fun overall.

  222. Thanks for doing the give-away Ana. I am planning to give away some pens and good paper to friends and students to mark Fountain Pen Day.

  223. At work i have gathered 4 fountain pen friends for a lunchtime fountain pen bonanza.
    Everyone will bring in ALL their fountain pens and favorite inks for a “show and try”.
    Now to decide what treat to give away…

  224. For Fountain Pen Day I will use my PR ink mixing kit to formulate new colors based upon Waterman inks.

  229. I’m planning on doing a thorough cleaning of all my pens and possibly buying some new inks.

  231. Besides using my two fountain pens, I plan on getting the other two I have ‘up and running’. But the on Saturday….a full day of calligraphy! With a friend. We are taking a 7 hour class on the basics and creating a little book of our work to take home.

  238. I don’t have a fountain pen yet; I am hoping for one for Christmas! Looking forward to trying one out in my Hobonichi. I will spend Fountain Pen Day checking your wonderful blog to see if I won the giveaway! Thanks as always for this great blog and for the giveaway!

  240. I’m going to celebrate by writing a letter to my Mom -she’ll be thrilled to see I haven’t forgotten how to write 🙂

  241. For this pen day I’m going to get dressed up and go to my University Semi-Formal with a pen in my suit coat pocket.

  245. I am hoping to be using my new Pilot Custom 823! I say “hope” because Amazon will only tell me that it will arrive “by November 16th.” ;-;

  247. On Fountain Pen Day, I want to check on all of my pens to find any that are quietly clogging with dried ink and give them a good bath. Once I have them out I will probably write a long overdue letter or two.

  252. I will start with my normal Friday night routine and pour myself a vodka martini and then present my four year-old daughter the Pilot Kakuno I ordered her so she can have her very own “fancy pen” like Daddy’s.

  253. I’ll ink up one of my better pens and hope to reintroduce some of my students to the concept of countain pens!

  254. I’ll be wearing my second FPD pin while deciding on which pen to use. My most recent purchase or a pen that hasn’t seen enough love lately.

  255. I’m celebrating Fountain Pen Day all week! I reinked a couple of pens I hadn’t used (and fell in love with my Lamy Safari for the first time!). I’m also using my fountain pens to write little notes to all my friends to stick in the mail on Fountain Pen Day. 🙂

  256. Long overdue pen maintenance and cleaning day. Also going to do a mustache themed drawing a day in November after having so much fun with Inktober.

    I have already converted two people to the hobby this way!

  260. Fountain Pen Day? That’s every day, right?

    In honor of an “official” day…I will write my new favorite cocktail recipe onto a 3×5 index card with my favorite fountain pen and ink.

  261. Attempt to fix my TWISBI Eco – the piston mechanism fell apart when trying to fill it with some gorgeous gummiberry ink this morning 🙁

  262. Thank you for the opportunity! On Friday, when I get home from work, I’ll open a bottle of wine and my journal and get to writing!

  271. I think I will pick three of my favorite pens and three of my favorite inks and write some long over due pen pal letters.

  272. For most of October I’ve been drawing with a dip pen and other ink products (Inktober).

  273. I will be carrying several inked pens in my shirt pocket including at least one inexpensive one that I can offer to let people try (without cringing when they start writing).

  275. I’m planning to sit down with my three year old daughter to write letters to her grandparents.

  277. Unfortunately I have a midterm on Friday, but I will be celebrating by taking the test with my Pilot Metropolitan (Fine)!

  279. Sadly, I will be working all day (though I will have my trusty Pilot Metro and Rhodia notebook with me).

  280. I’m be showing off my collection of fountain pens to my middle school students. Got to get them started early!

  281. I will be carrying all my pens with me all day! I decided also that’s the day I will work up the courage to put a flex nib on my new Jinhao x750. And I may buy some ink to celebrate!

  302. I have a test tube holder that holds 16 test tubes – or 16 inexpensive fountain pens! I’m loading it up, setting it out on a low bookshelf in our reading room, and letting students see what all the fuss is about (and maybe giving away a few of the Hero pens I have.) Such fun!

  303. This fountain pen day I’m writing a couple of holiday cards. And buying two more fountain pens.

  304. I will be putting together a fountain pen gift package to send to a friend of mine who just ordered her first fountain pen! I’m giving her a few ink samples and a couple pocket notebooks.

    I’ll also spread the word through social media, and let my friends/coworkers IRL know about the big day.

  314. I plan to sign my cousins guest book as he is getting married on Fountain Pen Day and post a photo of my two FPs and bottled Ink on IG and Facebook to celebrate.

  316. I had no idea there WAS a Fountain Pen Day! How exciting is that!? I think I will most likely celebrate by cracking out some as-yet-untried ink and taking it for a spin in my as-yet-pristine 2017 Hobonichi! 😀

  320. I’ll be using my pens and, hopefully, celebrating with a new pen courtesy of the Well-Appointed Desk.

  322. I have been “refurbishing” an old fountain pen for a friend who started a hobby as a script writer, and has never had an opportunity to use a fountain pen.

    For me… I’m testing the pen before I give it away…

  325. I’ll celebrate by inking up my italic-nibbed pen for the first time in a while, and writing.

  326. I have reconnected with a close high school friend and we’ve been exchanging letters. It’s been a great excuse to pull out some of my best pens and ink to send happy mail.

  327. I’m going to dedicate some time to giving my pens TLC–cleaning them, inking them, etc. (And wishing I could;ve been at a pen show for some FPD swag.)

  328. I’m going to follow two pieces of advice: “take wandering outdoor walks, so that the mind might be nourished and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing,” followed by: “Write.” Credit to Seneca and Dan Wells, respectively.

    Thank you for keeping us up-to-date, and Happy Fountain Pen Day! 🙂

  329. On Fountain Pen Day I’ll be chained to my desk working on Excel worksheets (but I will be signing off on expense reports with my Montblanc 144!).

  330. I’m going to do a giveaway of my own on my blog, and then I’ll probably do as much writing as I can – especially in my Traveler’s Notebook, which I’ve been horrible about using!

  331. For fountain pen day me and my friends are having an ink-themed party and swapping ink. Cheesy, huh? 🙂

  334. I will be creating my Christmas list with a list of new pens, inks, and notepads. Happy Fountain Pen Day!

  342. I will be making holiday gifts for my friends, which will be notebooks and leather covers (handmade by me), and “starter” fountain pens, so that I might make believers out of them too.

    I’m sure I’ll also spend a significant portion of the day at my desk with a fountain pen in my hand and my orange tabby cat in my lap. She likes to make sure I’m not slacking on my correspondence.

  345. I’ll celebrate by carrying ONLY a fountain pen on Friday – I’m a sketchers and normally carry a variety of mark makers. Right now, I’m thinking my Noodler’s Ahab fine filled with Lexington Gray should work well!

  349. I think I’ll celebrate by updating my ink journal with the 10 ink samples I just received in the mail!
    In addition, National Novel Writing Month is in its first week, so I plan to enjoying handwriting a portion of my words that day.

  350. To celebrate Fountain Pen Day, I will be giving a fountain pen to someone who is curious about the hobby.

  397. First I have to go to the dentist 🙁 but then I’m going to treat myself to a new bottle of ink!

  399. I have a few friends that are overdue for a cleaning, so I’m setti g aside time to give them a thorough going over.

    And, since one of my Bubs (aka dogs) has been in the hospital since last Friday and we only found out on Tuesday that he’s got a condition that is both teatable and surviveable, I will be using a good portion of the day celebrating his return home with lots of petting and snuggles.

  400. I have just recently gotten interested in fountain pens. Planning to celebrate the day with a new one.
    And of course, hoping to win a great prize.

  401. Being one of the ardent fans of good fountain pens, I wish to celebrate international fountain pen day to support the dying art of writing especially using an elegant fountain pen. I am celebrating it by talking it out to my colleagues and friends as well as by motivating them to buy good fountain pens. I will also show my collection of some beautiful fountain pens.

  402. I should put this holiday on my calendar.

    Festivities: cleaning all the pens and refreshing ink with some infrequently-used bright colors.

  403. I will be working all day, using fountain pens. Then after dinner I will be writing a pen pal.

  411. To celebrate my very first Fountain Pen Day, I plan on getting my fountain pens inked up this evening and writing with all of them tomorrow. I’ll be telling all of my coworkers how it’s FPD and they will be telling me I look ridiculous with 6 fountain pens stuffed into my pocket. Sometime during the day, I’ll send a text message to the person who introduced me to FPs in the first place, with “HAPPY FOUNTAIN PEN DAY” in all caps, like so. I’ll finish up the day with a post card going out to my pen pal.

    Happy Fountain Pen Day, everyone!

  412. Planning to write little love notes for my fiancé … and go shopping for new pens so that we can match (the Platinum 3776 has heart shaped breather holes… perfect!)

  413. My plan to celebrate fountain pen day is simple:

    Start off the day with a cup of coffee at my local Starbucks with my Oberon blue seas A5 nnotebook and my Pelikan M200 Cafe Creme to write a list of goals for the day, and some writing practice.

    I’ve picked up 20 Pilot Varsities from my local Staples and I plan on giving them to friends and family who have ever shown an interest in my fountain pens.

    As I head to class, I’ll have my Pelikan M600, Waterman 52 1/2v and Pilot Custom Heritage 92 tucked away in my Nock Lookout case, ready to write with some of my favorite inks!

    In between my classes, I plan on doodling away and practicing some calligraphy with my Waterman 52 1/2V and finishing my latest read, which is John Grisham’s “The Firm”. My bookmark of choice you may ask? My Fountain Pen Day bookmark will be my bookmark of choice! I’ve used it avidly since I picked it up at the DC Supershow this year!

    When I get home, I’ll have a fresh new bottle of Iroshizuku Kon-Peki, according to Amazon, to fill up my Pilot Custom 74 and get on with my day as I head to work at a print shop. As we fulfill orders for customers, we have a small area to write our names for quality checks as well as personalized messages or just saying “Thank for shopping with us!”. I’ll have my trust Custom 72 at my side to help sign my name and write that message!

    If anyone at any point asks to borrow a pen, be it for notes or something else, I’ll open up my Nock Co Brasstown. What’s in my Brasstown will be a bit different than my usual carry: Pilot Varisties, Pilot Metros and a few Gel and ball points (everyone is entitled to a choice!) and tell them to pick a pen that they’d like to use.

    At the end of the day, I’ll finish up by giving all of the pens that have run dry over the week a thorough cleaning, and polish them up before putting them back into my display case until they re-enter my weekly rotation. I’ll hang up my Pelikan shirt, that I made for this year’s Pelikan hub, after wearing it all day. Lastly, I’ll pull out a good old fashion dip pen, and write a love letter to my sweet, and set it on her pillow to find just before she goes to bed.

  414. I have to work so I’ll be packing a couple fountain pens to use. I’m hoping I get some sketchbook time if it’s a quieter day. Thank you for the chance.

  415. To celebrate Fountain Pen Day a little early, my coworkers and I had a small lunch get together today to share all of our favorite pens and inks with one another!

  416. Will be celebrating by winning some contests, writing with some fountain pens and I might even purchase a pen or two…or three or four….

  418. I’m planning to go to my favorite coffee shop in the morning and catch up on correspondence.

  419. Since I will be working, I just plan to take a fountain pen to work that day. Not the usual for me. Thanks for the chance!

  420. Cool, A day for Fountain Pens.

    I’ll begin an outline for my college research paper on how handwriting and learning to read improve the speed by which children can learn both. Or, how the cognitive process of handwriting improve organizational thought methods and recall.

    Or, more likely (grin)

    I can procrastinate a day and celebrate by seeking out a antique store in search of a vintage pen. Better still, and more probable, look for a local pen club and join the party.

  421. Hi this is Karen Pollitt aka kpurpose10! I will be joining the Philadelphia Pen Collectors group for a meeting in celebration of Fountain Pen Day.

  455. To celebrate Fountain Pen Day, I will be using fountain pens for all my pen needs. This pretty much typical for me. The extra special thing I am doing is sharing my love of fountain pens, inks and paper through a monthly letter to my close friends. Tomorrow is the day to write those letters.

    Oh, and I also write a lot, but this I do everyday 😀

  489. I’m writing with my Lamy 2000 all day, unless I use the Diplomat Traveler I got off ebay!

  490. I’m doing the very necessary (yet boring) task of disassembling, cleaning, and re-filling about 1/2 dozen of my workhorse pens. My hands are going to be soooooooo covered in ink by the end of the day, but it’s worth it for such lovely fountain pens!

  491. I’m going to write a paper on As You Like It with my Sailor Kiwa-Guro-inked Pilot Kakuno!

  492. Wowsers! What a generous giveaway!
    I actually spent FP day doing fieldwork for my PhD, looking for cockatoos. I will actually celebrate FP day tomorrow, by reinking my pens, and maybe even meeting up with some FP buddies!
    Thanks!

  494. I’ve only had my Lamy Safari EF for a few months now, and my celebration of Fountain Pen Day is to pick up a few fountain friendly notebooks and some new inks, but also using my Safari with Noodler’s 54th Mass ink at work for all my notes of the day.

  495. I’m celebrating this year by buying my wife a fountain pen… Share the obsession with the ones you love! 🙂
