I must confess that I was not very enthusiastic when I first started reading the article, but the title was atypical enough for me to give it a chance. How wrong I was. I found it to be a very interesting article. I didn't know that there were $8000 pens. I will certainly never know what it is like to have one, I think it is too expensive for writing. The connection between writing, the tools to do it and learning was very interesting. I am interested in the world of writing and its tools because I am left-handed and for left-handed people writing is something different. Including that variable it would be interesting to see a version of the same article where options like the Zebra Sarasa Dry are included. Great read.
