"沒人寫字" 根本就是爛標題。

以下摘錄自 BBC 在 2012 年一篇雜誌報導之中，Neil Gaiman 的鋼筆經驗談。
(標題就不翻譯了... 而括號中的內容為本人補充，並非原文)

Neil Gaiman on his nibs

English author Neil Gaiman explains why
 he writes his novels with fountain pens

"It started in 1994 when I wrote the novel Stardust - in my head I wanted
it to be written in the same way as it would have been in the 1920s, so I
bought a big notepad and Waterman pen.


"It was the first time I'd used a fountain pen since I was about 13. I
found myself enjoying writing more slowly and liked the way I had to think
through sentences differently. I discovered I loved the fact that hand-
writing forces you to do a second draft, rather than just tidying up and
deleting bits on a computer. I also discovered I enjoy the tactile buzz of
the ritual involved in filling the pens with ink.

打 13 歲之後我就沒有再用過鋼筆了。慢慢書寫、用不同的方式 (步調) 斟酌字句，

位元單位，一方面也表達 "零碎" 之意，信手拈來可見 Gaiman 的文字功力之一斑)

動手吸墨水，也相當好玩。

"Now when I write novels I have two fountain pens on the go, with two
different colour inks. One is always my favourite, but I alternate between
the two, so I can see what I have written each day. I also love the way
people react when I sign books with fountain pens. I try to sign them in
different colours such as brown, green or grey as it is really nice to show
that it's obviously been done by a human being.

現在我會用兩枝上了不同色墨水的筆來寫作。其中一枝會是我愛用的，不過每天要


"I don't have any time for incredibly fancy pens and use a different 'lead'
pen for each novel. Right now I am using a Twsbi, which is an incredibly
robust but smooth writing pen from Taiwan. My current favourite is a
Visconti because it has a magnet in the lid which goes clunk when I put
the top on - I am easily satisfied. I probably have between 40 and 60
fountain pens, which is a bit silly, but once people are aware that you
like them, they like to give them as gifts."

我並不會用一些過度裝飾的筆款，也不會特意挑哪枝筆來替我的一部著作 "領銜"。
現在我用的筆是 TWSBI (三文堂)，台灣製造，耐用又順手。而我最喜歡的筆是
一枝 Visconti，闔上筆蓋時裡面的磁鐵固定機構喀一聲響，就可以讓我覺得很樂。
現在我已經有 40 ~ 60 枝筆，有點過頭了。不過這也沒辦法，喜歡鋼筆的名聲
傳開了之後，別人就會送這樣的禮物。
==============================================================================

回歸書寫用具的原點，製作出好用的產品，讓人拿來創作。
還有比這個更好的 "文創" 嗎？
