I went through so many years without bothering to find out why I hated some pens and loved some pens, until I decided to dive into the subject a bit. The type of ink and pen affects writing joy so much. I discovered that I was a gel pen kind of person and tried a bunch of different makes, so now and then I buy a big pack of Pilot Super Gel 07, and now I always have pens around that I love writing with. I'm probably going to get one or two quality gel pens too, like Parkers or similar, because now I know what I like.

I highly recommend finding out which kind of ink and pen give you the most writing joy! A simple comparison to get you started can be found on the gel pen Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_pen
