Confessions of a Pen Addict (Who Can’t Write) (Everything Fountain Pens)

By Dr. Bhratri Bhushan

This is not a book about writing. It's a book about almost writing. Confessions of a Pen Addict (Who Can't Write) is the painfully honest, laugh-out-loud memoir of someone who has spent years curating the perfect collection of fountain pens, inks, and notebooks--without ever actually writing anything meaningful. It's a tale of exquisite nibs and paralyzing self-doubt, of notebooks too pretty to open, and love letters too raw to send. In these pages, you'll meet someone who attends pen shows with religious fervor, debates gold vs. steel nibs with strangers online, and once cried because a bottle of ink leaked on a journal that was already empty. With biting humor and moments of gut-punching clarity, the author explores the strange intersection of artistic ambition and avoidance, perfectionism and procrastination, beauty and fear. If you've ever bought a journal to "start tomorrow," dreamed of writing the next great novel but ended up doodling your own name 47 times, or told yourself that the next pen will be the one that changes your life--this book is for you. This is not a writing manual. This is a love story. A cautionary tale. A hug for every person who's ever felt like a fraud with a very expensive pen. Welcome to the ink-stained, paper-scented world of a writer who doesn't write--but never gives up believing they might.
