A Race Test for a New Pen
A fat Uni-ball 207 Plus, wet ink and a few minutes in the sun. Freewriting as a race test: getting each e, n and r right the first time, and keeping going when the tank is empty.
hello what about all this__ February 8th 2026
WHITESPACE the final strike out. The sky is beautiful majestic blue. Sharp, clear, complex shaped cloud floats. Many bytes making for visual delight. I know this pen is dead but it's all I got and I'll work with that for now adaptability. There are only some fleeting minutes to dedicate to these scribbles and this exercise to try and write legibly while really I'm mostly enjoying being in the sun. DEFinitely Alright this is the fat Uni Ball 207 plus. Not too shabby but it's wet so fast and crisp clear movement helps but that means getting things right the first time and those e's and n's and r's will need extra attention until they are getting the space those letters deserve. E's want some what and part of the page to show through in that top loop. What four, five lines about e's and their eyes? Why yes of course. Said the sentence, while forgetting the letter. Even in times of tire when the tank is empty there is the ability to keep going and why not and why lose the fun of the challenge of simply trying to write fast with a new device like a race test.
