What is the Best Pen for Speed Writing?
I attend a lot of debates and like to take notes, but people tend to speak very fast. As a result, to take notes of the speakers I need to write very fast and I also write very small. I am looking for a pen that's fast, smooth writing and has a thin tip for my small writing.
The best pens to look at will be rollerball or gel pens. They tend to work very well at higher writing speeds, something that a fountain pen generally can't do. Ballpoints can get a bit scratchy at fast speads. Gel and rollerball pens flow really easily over a page. I'd have a look at Uniball for gel pens and Parker for rollerballs, although most pen manufacturers have a rollerball within their range. It really depends on your budget.
You should also consider using shorthand. Try transcribing paragraphs that you read in a textbooks into much shorter lines by using abbreviations and symbols to represent different words to practice.
