My mentor got me into fountain pens... It's nice to have a fine instrument for contemplation. Something a little more exciting to use than a regular pen, really encourages you to pick it up and write something just to watch the ink flow. Then your thoughts unfold and you keep writing just to see where it goes. I've been able to discover and clarify ideas many times through this process. I suggest a lamy safari and a rhodia pad. You can get ink samples from goulet pens and try a bunch of different colors.
