The PowerTank was too thick to write small and legiblily. The Pilot G2 0.5 was a good size but the ink seems to smear easily. The Sanford uni-ball micro seems to be the Golden Ticket. Smaller writing (marginaly) than the G2 and it doesn't seem to smear as easily. I think the Sanford uni-ball micro just became my new Moleskine Companion.

I don't know why I wasn't using it, but I pulled it back out this morning and did some "stream of consciousness" writing. It's a nice pen and my writing looks better. I'll start using it now. I guess I'm particular about the weight of the ink. If it is too wide, I write bigger, it looks sloppy and unreadable. Dan, my fountain pens leave an even more thick line. I know it's weird to be asking about more legible Moleskine'ing, but when you go back to your journals 10 years from now and can't read or understand your writing it's like losing part of the story.

But I have found that making an effort to write well helps. I like the Pilot P-700s myself. They write a little thinner than the G2. As I write more, my writing is gradually improving with occasional lapses. I like to write fast so that I can capture my thoughts before they slip away, so my writing isn’t always that great.

The letters are so much more distinctive that way. It always pains me to say it, but my answer was to start writing in uppercase. The letters are so much more distinctive that way.
