Nice! I really like the composition there. You're cursive's not bad, too -- I was never able to truly get a handle on the stuff.  

(I have a Baoer myself, actually! I'd use it more if it actually worked. Solid choice with the Waterman ink. Converters are great, but a pain to clean. )

Thanks! I had to teach myself... It's far from good, but it's a lot better than it used to be. (What really got me practicing was that my English teacher last year gave you a point of extra credit on packets of you wrote in cursive. It was a good excuse to extend more effort).

The ink also works with my calligraphy pen, which is fun to mess around with. (The ink it came with was really thick for some reason, so it just didn't work. I don't actually do calligraphy, by the way. ) I didn't even bother looking into cartridges as the pen already had a converter and I didn't really want to do a ton of research on the right cartridges to get. Plus, having a jar of ink is very appealing to my nerdy soul. 

There is no motivator like the promise of extra credit.  Good on ya for teaching yourself!

Agreed--cartridges are awfully convenient, but nothing will replace the feeling of filling from a bottle.
