On 7 November, Fountain Pen Day is celebrated worldwide.
Simply put it is a day to celebrate and share your love the pen. It is a day to embrace the joy of writing using a pen and paper. It does not matter that you write in script, print, or calligraphy as long as you are writing and not pounding a keyboard.
The experience of of writing with an instrument that becomes an extension of your hand, the nib expressing your style, an ink color that reflects your mood, paper that takes your thoughts. It is the experiencing the joy of writing your reflections of life written in your hand. Your handwriting does not have to be the best, or the most artistic, or the most beautiful to read your mood in your written words. Your words written out will speak to the reader whether you think it does or not.
There are separate National holidays for pencils and ballpoints. The mighty fountain pen went without its own holiday. Now there is a day for our obsession and passion, hobby, and the choice of writing instrument.
The day set aside each year is the first Friday (7 Nov.) in November. Allows everyone to spend the weekend indulging writing and sharing it with friends.
Fountain Pen Day, is about sharing your passion and love for fountain pens passing it on to others.
