My friend convinced me to use a single pen for 3 months straight

She said it would build 'consistency' in my BuJo, but by month two the ink started skipping so bad I trashed two whole spreads. Has anyone else had a pen loyalty experiment backfire like this?

Yeah I hit that exact wall around week 10, skipping ink is the worst because you don't notice until you've already ruined a whole page. Switching to a refillable pen with a stabilizer tip halfway through saved my BuJo from total disaster. Honestly just swap pens when they start acting up, consistency is good but clean spreads are better.

Nah @lucaslee, I'd rather fix the pen than swap it mid streak.

The pen gods totally betrayed me too. My "loyalty pen" started leaking everywhere around week eight and I had ink stains on my hands for a solid month. Did you switch pens mid-project or just power through the chaos?
