Write Now - Ep.100: What the GPC Team is Writing With!

[@joeymaximus8146]

I think Whitney might need her own show! lol

[@My_Pens_Hobbies]

Honestly, this video is so fun to watch that I still find myself coming back to it years after it was first published 😅😅😅😅

[@ChristiSnow]

I think this is my favorite Write Now video ever...so fun to see everyone's pens. And dangit...the one day when I'm using a fairly bland (but constant favorite) pen/ink. Today I'm using a Gray Pilot Metro with a sepia cartridge. But lying on my desk over there I also have 2 Lamy al-star (royal and purple), a rose gold online slope, my turquoise conklin duragraph, another pilot metro (bronze lizard) and a pilot vanishing point(the metallic blue one)...which have all been in use within the last couple of days.

[@Gouletpens]

That's quite the pen group! Nothing wrong with a little Metro action on a Monday. :) - Colin

[@Gouletpens]

Apparently, there's a character limit for KZbin descriptions, so all the products mentioned & shown are in this helpful Google Doc: bit.ly/GPCCurrentPenInk . Also, I swear this isn't an ad for LAMY inks! We just got in samples of the new Crystal inks and we all wanted to try them out. :) - Colin

[@viraj__shah]

I absolutely love the energy in your office.

[@smallblondechild99]

Can you imagine the notes that go through office, they are the most colorful notes ever!

[@kaerden3766]

imagine someone intercepting one and knowing where it came from bc of the ink colour

[@valeriemartin3506]

I know! Right? I am only allowed to use black ink at work! Totally lame. I am a bit of a rebel. I use Rose Noir and have managed to get away with it.

[@smallblondechild99]

Right?! Like Rachel gets one from Colin, and just automatically knows its him...

[@smallblondechild99]

I'm using a Jinhao x750, with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses....im obsessed!

[@caomhan84]

Whitney's face at 7:42 is gold hahahaha

[@alexandrevasseur934]

April in Parks & Rec has got some serious competition.

[@archaon593]

Love it

[@gillianbarr6299]

This is, by far, my favorite episode of WriteNow ever, and I've probably watched or listened to most of them. Brian, you.always say the hobby is about the people, and also how important your team is. It's great to get to see almost all of them in live action, hear their voices, and see them in their work environment. At the moment I'm writing w my Kaweco AL Sport in Rose Gold, F nib, inked with Diamine Pink Champagne.

[@Julian-bq9qv]

Whitney's facial expressions are pure gold!

[@bijitroy39]

Thanks so much Brian for keeping us hooked on to our childhood memories of fountain pens, inks and so much more

[@jandro113]

Congratulations on the 100th episode of Write Now!! This was easily one of my favorite episodes. It was very enjoyable to see what people were using. Keep up the great work!! I’m using the TWSBI ECO, transparent blue, Medium nib with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki.

[@Kiruta]

Write Now is one of my favorite series and this is my favorite episode by far! It's very interesting to see what pens, nib size, and ink everyone is currently using/loving at the moment. Love how everyone is trying out the new Lamy Crystal inks. I want to try them too lol

[@isaacelisaldez131]

Great seeing the team. They seem really happy! I also love the looks of the office. Visually appealing

[@isaacelisaldez131]

In my hand....Lamy safari 2019 all black edition, fine nib, Robert Oster great southern ocean ink :)

[@TheWfsamurai]

Great video! Nice to put names to faces and seen what folks are using. Today I'm using my Conklin All American Tortise shell with Monte Verde Amethyst ink.

[@av8ordoc480]

Great video! Loved seeing all the people at Goulet Pens! At the moment I'm enjoying a new Platinum Izumo Yakumo Byakudan Maki-e (Medium nib) with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki (theme of sky colored ink with cloud-covered pen :)

[@danisaur808]

I'm currently taking notes for school using my Pilot Décimo (F) with Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi and my TWSBI Eco (EF) with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki! I loved seeing faces to match the thank you cards and getting a glimpse of what everyone there uses! I'm new to the fountain pen world but I am binging all the Q&As and Write Nows. Thanks for all the great information you all put out and for the hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes. :)

[@jaschawalter3500]

So cool to see you space, colleagues, and Pen & ink selections!

[@CreatingCuteArt]

I want a new edition of this annually!

[@icedlatt3]

Only after watching this did I realize that at the Goulet office, everyday is a literal pen meet. How awesome is that, to constantly be surrounded with people with the same passion as you!

[@joaomiguelsalek4231]

I really wanted to see a remake of this episode, see what pens people are using now, what pens they've recently treatened themselves, see how is the gpc working during the pademics and all that stuff. It'd be really cool.

[@EffnShaShinko]

That was fun, thanks! I'm working with an m815 fine with lamy petrol

[@Rob_Taggart]

Love this idea! Nice to see everyone and their choices. I am currently writing with a Conklin All American, with a Goulet EF nib, and Iroshizuku tsuyu-kusa ink.

[@patrickkelley3408]

What a great bunch of people you have working there !

[@accountant19]

this video was so pleasing to watch, more of this please

[@LittlePrairieLibrary]

I just want to work at Goulet Pens after watching this video, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

[@johansiebers3579]

Such a fun episode and lovely to see all the people who make Goulet Pens what it is :) I'm using my Lamy 2000 Black Amber this week, EF nib, Pelikan 4001 Violet ink. A classic which I have used for years.

[@jessicacollins8049]

It was so cool to see the faces behind the orders and phone calls and emails!! I love Jens hobonichi weeks!! I use the weeks and the techno!!!

[@a.malaikasharp1740]

Hi Susan! Great to see you on ‘Write On’ 100.. Loving my new Aurora.

[@deanthompson3741]

I'm late to the show but WOW this was great fun. What a variety of FP and ink. Like many others I would like to see an update what's you got inked episode. Thank You

[@fossilimprint2954]

Okay, now this video is one of the top 10 Goulet video I have seen so far. You should do another one like this for current times!

[@rodrigod9586]

Really enjoyed this one. I'd love to see one maybe every other month or so. The energy in your office is great.

[@doorleofferhaus3900]

Gotta love this video, absolutely brilliant! And really great to hear someone else enjoy the M nib on the Pelikan M200 as much as I do. I come back to it all the time, with Diamine Pumpkin Orange. Interesting how many TWSBI users are amongst your staff!

[@AnInkGuy]

I appreciate that you actually did this I know it can be disruptive to daily business. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I am inking a visconti medici with a broad nib and caran d'ache organic brown.

[@davidlay7423]

Well, today I have my Forest Green Duragraph with an EF nib inked with Monteverde California Teal. This was such a fun video! Thanks for posting it!

[@wildsheepc]

I love it when more of the staff gets to participate! :)

[@Kitteh342]

This was super cute! So cool to see the rest of the team. Seeing everyone's preferences and hand writing was so endearing. My go-to has been Lamy Safari Petrol with Noodler's Air Corp Blue-Black. Love!

[@LuckyDippers]

I loved this! I keep four pens inked at any one time. Today it's: Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Midi, fine nib with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki (a staple) Pilot Vanishing Point Raden Galaxy fine nib with Diamine Sherwood Green Platinum Century 3776 bourgogne medium nib with Akkerman China Town Red Twsbi Diamond 580AL rose 1.1mm stub with Akkerman Simplisties Violet. Love reading what everyone in the comments is writing with today too!

[@audreycaldeira-hankey2951]

This is an awesome video. Really interesting to see the Pen/Ink favs of the Goulet team. Many thanks.

[@RobinT346]

I love meeting the team like this. They are all such good people!

[@cindyyork7798]

Love the Bob Ross screen saver! Loved the video!

[@violet_titration]

This was so great! Thanks so much!! I love that Trevor started a tic-tac-toe game on his card. Hilarious!! And so nice to meet John too. 😁

[@MarysInks]

I loved everything about this video! You should do one of these every few months. Fun and informative.

[@Gouletpens]

Definitely want to highlight what pen & ink we're writing with more! Maybe we'll get the next one on the books for summertime. - Colin

[@gertahnstrom784]

I love this format! I think I've seen them all! Great work, and I loved this tour of everybody's pen in use. For me it has been my Lamy 2000 with Lamy Black. Also a vintage Sheaffer Cartridge Pen, also with Lamy Black, that to my surprise started right up after not being used for some weeks.

[@rafgomez333]

Great video. Thank you for showing us around your office. You seem to have an amazing company. Congratulations!

[@selene6.23]

This was such a nice video, I love seeing different preferences and great pens 😊

[@alex_montoya]

I have a Noodler's Ahab with a FPR ultraflex nib and Carbon Ink.

[@tammymakesthings]

So much fun to see what everyone's using! My pen today is a Monteverde Regatta Sport (the magenta one), Goulet 1.1 stub nib, inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo.

[@safarimom]

I am a new subcriber and fountain pen user. I loved this video. I paused it so I could find my cards from my 2 orders. It was great to see who signed them! I am amazed that 5 months ago I got my first fountain pen. Now I am already able to read though the comments and not need to look up the pen and ink they are referring too! I have 6+ pens inked. Some of my favorites are my orange retro Pilot Metropolitan with a swapped plumix nib and Noodler's Apache Sunset. My Lamy Vibrant Pink I got from you for my birthday. I filled it with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses. I put the Vibrant Pink ink in a hot pink jinhao shark. Along with my TWSBI Go sapphire stub nib with Monteverde Capri Blue and another simple dark blue jinhao shark with some Diamine Skulls And Roses that I just got today. I can't wait to receive another order from you. Maybe an Easter gift and definitely for Mother's Day!

[@Gouletpens]

Great collection of pens/inks! Glad to hear the fountain pen journey is going smoothly as well. Write On! :) - Colin

[@Silvermouse27]

Such a fun video! Loved seeing what you’ve all got going! I have a Kaweco classic sport in Burgundy and have Herbin Violet Pensee. Fine nib!

[@peterandre8398]

That really WAS fun. Thanks Brian, Andi, & Goulet staff

[@Julian-bq9qv]

Great video - Andy is awesome!! and Whitney rocks - the camera loves her and her expressions are priceless.

[@franciscoj.aponte7168]

Your team and company its so amazing!! Thank you for the fun and wonderful information on each video!!

[@kenwilliams2219]

What a great group of people to work with! Goulet pen company has become my favorite pen store. Love the personalized notes with each order. Using one of my favorite pens today, TWSBI ECO extra fine nib with Monteverde Black Ash. Great combo.

[@stellad5082]

I would love to see this as a monthly theme. So inspiring to try out new pens and inks!!

[@Gouletpens]

Hope to have an updated version early this fall. Maybe Episode 175? - Colin

[@kiavonne]

Congratulations on 100 episodes of Write Now! The pens I am currently using today are my Danitro Genkai in beige urushi with a soft medium 18k nib and Noodler's FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown ink, and my new from Goulet Opus 88 Fantasia in Terracotta with a medium steel nib and inked with Noodler's #41 Brown ink. Both are excellent pens, though the Fantasia medium is finer than the Danitrio nib. By the way, Drew, I'm highly jealous of your Montana pen. (I'm originally from Montana, but moved to Colorado to get away from the snow...).

[@bronsonlott9532]

I’d love to see more of these guys in the videos! I’m working with a Faber Castell NEO slim medium nib with FC garnet red ink

[@Mama2Many82]

Loved this! And now I have some more ink samples to add to my Goulet cart. 😁 I have four pens inked right now, but my daily go-to is my TWSBI Eco (B) with Noodler’s Liberty’s Elysium. 💙🖋

[@kooltej]

I really enjoyed this video and all the small notes your staff members have written. Looks like a cool office to work in. Today I am using my Pilot Metropolitan Fine nib inked with Robert Oster Signature Bass Straight. Loving the combo!

[@MarcellHobbs]

I love this video showcasing all the people that help prepare my orders! Thanks to everyone for sharing. I have the Lamy Safari Spring Edition Rose pen inked with Noodlers Black Swan English Rose and a Lamy Al-Star Graphite with the blue cartridge. I received my Goulet Pens order yesterday, but haven’t inked anything up yet. Going to play with my new pens and nibs today!

[@katiecutts4556]

Love it! I probably have around 15 pens inked up at the moment but my current go to is my twsbi go in sapphire in a broad nib, inked with emerald of chavor

[@TheDanielbarboza]

I've got several pens inked, but the one I'm actually using right now is the Platinum 3776, SF nib, with Noodler's Black.

[@gadgetstop321]

That was an enjoyable video. Today I used a Faber Castell Ambition (EF) with Iroshizuku Kon Peki.

[@suchitrar6769]

Congratulations on the 100th Write Now! I am currently writing with my new Pilot E95S in Extra Fine with Pilot Black cartridge.

[@soulcomfort1]

This was really fun! I have 42 pens inked up right now--all fine or extra fine--which I rotate constantly while I journal and write letters. The last one I used today was my black TWSBI ECO EF with Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku. I keep all the pens in six nesting clear plastic 6 X 6 in trays. Easy to take with me and they don't take up much room at all. I have a notebook to keep track of--by tray, of course--which ink is in which pen. Almost all of them are filled with your various ink samples, although I do own quite a few bottle of ink. I love the fun of ink samples! I am more into inks than the more expensive pens, I guess. :) Congrats on #100!!

[@thedevinluu]

Currently inked 🖋: Daiso Fountain Pen Medium Nib with Colorverse Andromeda & TWSBI Eco Extra Fine Nib with Robert Oster Sydney Lavender 💗💜

[@kjkoolio]

Congratulations on 100! I’m new to the game... as in don’t-even-have-a-pen-yet new. But they’re in the mail. I look forward to more content and possibly business with Goulet. You’ve been a *fountain* of knowledge. Ok, I’m done! Thank you kind sirs and ma’ams! Keep being awesome! Write On!

[@ExterminatusDuece]

Way you go team. Really enjoyed the video and the team dynamics. It says a lot about the leadership abilities within the organisation. Love your work

[@thisisbethm]

This is awesome! I love the idea and it was fun to see all the pens and inks (and now I need to go add pink glitz to my cart...). I have about seven TWISBI Ecos inked up (four mediums, one fine, and two stubs--de Atramentis Document Fuchsia, de Atramentis Document Turquoise, Monteverde Garnet, Monteverde Yosemite (?), Pilot Irushizuku Kon Peki, Organics Stuido Nitrogen, KMZ Hawaii Blue), as well as a Jinhao Shark (Noodlers Operation Overlord Orange) and a Pilot Metropolitan with a stub (a mix of de Atramentis Fuchsia and Yellow, making an orange very similar to the Noodlers OOO). And a Pilot Plumix with Monteverde Turquoise. My office pen for when I forget my pen case at home is a Monteverda Monza with Monteverde Sapphire (ink also in my drawer at work). And a few others that need to be cleaned out.

[@LordCinnamon]

Lately I'm rocking my new Lamy studio imperial blue with Lamy blue ink cartridge and EF nib. So much blue and broad in your office. Nice to see.

[@bsincere731]

Another Awesome Video, Congratulations on the 100 episodes. I have the powder pink twsbi eco ef nib inked with pilot iroshizuku kosumosu . I love the combo.

[@BlueMel_MH]

Congrats! Today, I'm using Lamy Al Star Pacific w/ Robert Oster Fire and Ice. I also have my TWSBI Diamond 580 stub inked with Diamine Blue Flame.

[@spnsong]

Fun video! I enjoyed seeing the combos. Currently I’m using a LAMY Al-Star Graphite with EF nib and Noodler’s Lexington Grey ink. :)

[@waydethomas09]

I loved this episode. And it was amazing seeing that Bob Ross screensaver!

[@galaxiesareborn3797]

Congrats on your 100th video!!! My first ever order is supposed to arrive today from you and my first ever fountain pen :) So excited! It should have my TWSBI Eco in it along with a Pilot Metropolitan! Loved the tour and video today.

[@ShaifN]

I am using the Parker Duofold (from 1999) Greenwich with a M nine and Parker Quick Blue. Love these videos. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@Cocobird5]

That was fun! I'm using my Turquoise Conklin Duragraph, with Pelikan turquoise ink.

[@ConnectTheFamily]

Great video! I'm using a TWSBI Eco with Fine nib, inked with Noodler's Polar Blue, and a Kaweco Sport Bordeux BB nib with Noodler's Black.

[@urahara_daioh]

Also, that MadTV reference cheered me up, thank you.

[@wildsheepc]

They're referring to the last video when they went around the office, showing off everyone's Halloween costumes. Stuart and his mom are not to be missed! :D

[@barbarahuntcannon6208]

Using gorgeous Platinum Laurel Green with double broad nib and Monteverde California Teal. Fabulous pen, nib and wonderful ink. My favorite green in both pen and ink. Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@Gouletpens]

Very similar taste as one of our Jen! Double broad on the Laurel Platinum 3776. She actually just cleaned out California Teal for the LAMY color. Spooky! That nib is something else, very much like a marker but a great way to showcase the ink. - Colin

[@barbarahuntcannon6208]

Ah you sit near the Jen with the 3776. I never comment often and your reply was so nice and I appreciate your thoughts and Jen must put back in the California Teal! The double broad is new to me and you are so right about showing the ink off so well. Probably a paint brush to the fine nib crowd but it is good to have one of everything. My thanks for your thoughtful reply. Barbara in New Zealand

[@bobytwo]

I like the Lamy Amazonite ink and will look for a bottle soon. I have four pens inked today but I'm leaning heavily on the Conid Monarch Minimalistica - Fine, and inked with De Atramentis Atlantic Blue. Really enjoyed today's Write Now video!

[@wendywander7]

I have quite a few pens inked up, but my everyday writer is my Platinum Cool clear with the soft Fine nib, using Noodler's Lexington Gray for its shading, its permanence, and how it makes other inks stand out on the page. Thanks for this great series--I enjoy every episode!

[@Gouletpens]

Love using a shading ink with soft nibs! Lexington Gray is a favorite of mine as well. - Colin

[@drd8251]

This episode was a lot of fun. I enjoyed seeing so many of your team and seeing the variety of the pens and inks they were using. I have over 30 pens, most of them from Goulet Pens, so what I'm using today won't be what I'm using tomorrow. Today is a Pelikan 200 Brown with Pelikan Sandy Quartz with a fine nib. When I started my pen collection, I stuck with fine nibs because my handwriting is small. But as my collection has progressed/increased, I've trended toward medium and stub nibs, with the stubs being my favorites. It was interesting to see how many of your team chose broad and stub nibs. That's the pen fever I'm catching.

[@kw5kw]

Nice video of your office and staff. Right now i have a Dryden Exec with MV California Teal. Medium nib.

[@micaylab1]

Wow all of the employees Sure Do Love their management members!😯😊

[@BYMLV1]

Another great video!!! My this weeks EDW's (Every Day Writer) are the Conklin Duragraph Forest Green w/ Goulet M nib inked with Montblanc Irish Green ink and the Montegrappa Ducale B nib with the Caran'dAche Idyllic Blue ink.

[@klt479]

Very enjoyable post! Write On Goulet Team!

[@coldensheppard6221]

Love this! You should do another one I have my Pilot custom 823 inked up with Diamine Polar Glow

[@cwpipes]

This would be a great thing to do like once a month. As a newbie, I love learning about new pens and what people use.

[@brankamk9077]

ATM I have Lamy Safari All Black with Lamy Turquoise :D I love how you incorporated little messages from everyone it's great to see everyone's handwriting :D

[@janepilecki8083]

Great video! It was great to see so many team members are using broad nibs! I have many pens inked, but the one I am using today is my Visconti Manhattan Wall St. Platinum with a medium nib and Caran D'Ache Idyllic Blue ink.. I love "Write Now" and and hope you will continue them. I honestly look forward to them every Monday and Wednesday. Great job all!

[@janepilecki8083]

10 Broads and 2 Double Broads!!! My favorite sizes! My Visconti Manhattan Med writes like a Broad...when it writes.

[@SUSSDUE]

Love this video- so nice to see your staff and all the different choices of pens and inks- gave me new ideas for inks to buy! Right now I am enjoying a Waterman vintage pen, made in England with a wonderful Ideal flex nib and Diamine Golden Honey.

[@itsteganyay]

I really enjoyed seeing around the office :) Right now I am using a pilot kakuno with a medium nib, and it's filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu Syogun.

[@sinclairbowman92]

I loved this video so much. It made me go on a binge of searching for inks and I put a bunch of Shading inks into my Wish List on Goulet Pens. I am currently writing with my solid writing no frills Lamy Al-Star in Graphite with a Fine nib and I'm using Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown. Love it. I'm typically a blue, black, and green, but this is making want to try browns, bronze-type colors, topaz, and Noodler's Habanero and Apache Sunset.

[@Gouletpens]

Lots of great shading inks in this video. Apache Sunset is the top ink for that, but LAMY Amazonite when that comes out is a very shading teal. Definitely worth getting a few samples! - Colin

[@foxxx040]

Wonderful video! I'm currently using my warhorse Lamy 2000 with a medium nib and Diamine Oxford Blue Black ink.

[@bitterrose1025]

Love this vid!!! love getting to see the whole Goulet crew.. Now I have to get one of those Lamy crystal inks lol

[@45scienceproject]

I would drop everything and move to Virginia, no questions asked given the opportunity to work for you guys! Love the content!

[@EndaliasTreasures]

I'm using a Pelikan M205 demonstrator with a broad nib and Krishna Moonview. Love the ink!

[@pdude1911]

Great video! You sure got a lot of employees. Today at work I used my Lamy 2000, B nib, with P. W. Akkerman #19 Rood Haags Pluche ink. Now back at home I'm using a Lamy cp-1, B nib, with P. W. Akkerman #5 Shocking Blue ink. Greets from The Netherlands!

[@alicegonyar8631]

Brian...You are the BEST! I love watching your videos! Afraid this ole Nana in Vt could be getting hooked! Next on my list is a Lamy.

[@Gouletpens]

Great choice, LAMY makes some awesome pens for the price. - Colin

[@marjoriemarlowe8978]

This was fun. Talked to Susan today about the Pineider. Also good to see Andi come on the other side of the camera. TWSBI Eco stub with De Atrementis Whisky Brown Copper. It sheens even on cheap copier paper. Do it again sometime.
