looking forward

had our first RPG session of the year tonight; it looks like we're going to solve our problems by talking with the undead instead of killing them all.

tried a shimmer ink sample with my largest/wettest pen and it started out kind of dry and clumpy. after i wrote a page it smoothed out, we'll see what happens after the pen has sat unused overnight...i may dump it or try diluting it with a standard ink. i'm very happy to have figured out that i can draw tiny orange corners on regular notebook pages to use as rocketbook beacons and that really opens up using my good pens every day for work stuff.

Stupid question but are you rolling the pen a lot and shaking the ink before you load it into the pen? I tend to roll my shimmer inked pens quite a lot and hold them nib up for a while. That said, some of them just clog the pen no matter what I do. Diamine shimmer inks are the worst at this, and my J Herbin shimmer inks require me to remove the nib and wash it out at least once a week. I tend toward fine nibs, but have now bought some medium and broad points because I love the shimmer so much, but I still have issues sometimes -_-

yes to shaking and rolling. I'm definitely not going to put this one in my drier pens.
