a writer's notebook
I love the Drehgriffel pen bodies, but I don’t love the refills they come loaded with. I swapped one out for the Parker G2 Quink Gel refill this summer and now it writes just the way I always wanted it to. All flow, no skip or thinning. You can buy two G2 Quink Gel refills for under a fiver over here. Not the cheapest thing, obviously, but it makes a beautiful refillable pen perfect.
You need good tools. An unreliable tool introduces friction and disrupts thought.

Just found in an office stack, a Christmas gift from some years ago. Just as I was bemoaning the lack of a good propelling pencil. Someone – I suspect the mother in law – decided at some point that I needed a golden personalised pen and pencil, and who am I to argue. I mean, it encourages writerly mania to inscribe one’s words with a golden stylus. But the words inscribed in the office notebook are “remember to buy toilet paper” and “you have to clean the cat litter trays on Wednesday night.”
