I have started journaling again a couple of weeks ago, but after realising, that writing more than a few short bulletpoints made my hands ache really bad (i think the muscles therein are now much more adapted to writing on a keyboard than with a ballpoint pen) i had to look for a way to make it more comfortable.
Well, the transition to a fountain pen (albeit a cheap one) and moving back to cursive brought really fast relieve and now, just about a week after changing my writing style i am now again able to write longer texts by hand without any discomfort. I really like it and i think i will stick to it.
