Chris Saenz | Progress Report - June 2023 @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
In this video I show you how my pens and inks are working out for June 2023. This is the mid-month progress report. Overall things are quite challenging with an extreme heat wave, some pain issues, but writing is a part of every day for me and I'm learning the importance of documenting and writing each day. I've been looking back on previous summer journal entries and learning of some patterns! So, daily journaling, pen pal letter writing (slow but sure) and note taking on some subjects I'm studying have kept me enjoying my fountain pens and inks!
Here is a list of the pens/inks mentioned:
Original 8 focus pens + inks for this month:
