    Those were my gateway drug pen!

    I like the soft touch body of the Inkjoys more, and I feel Energels don’t last as long, but they’re still one of the top budget pens and I like they come in a number of body styles and colors.

            It may sound silly, but don’t be afraid to practice your writing.

            I tried fountain pens for a bit (too fussy for me) and to get practice at it and get my cursive skills back up, I would copy the Duolingo I was doing at the time. That way I got to practice writing and language at the same time. You can always just copy articles or books or whatever.

            You could practice copying font styles too if you want something special. If your writing stinks, steal someone else’s! 😁

              You’re sweet! I would love to try the pens that part while you press harder, but regular pens make my shaky-ass hand look terrible. Maybe I could get better with practice!

                If your issues are pressure related, I found this guide of exercises to relax your writing grip and to avoid pressing too hard.

                It’s written for teaching children, but that just makes it super easy to understand. It looks to have some very good ideas.
