The pen seems imperfect and prone to mistakes, but who isn't? The important thing is to keep trying, practicing, writing; and eventualy the mistakes all but disappear, all thanks to the integral learning experience of the fine art of good penmanship.
The pencil, however, only offers a false reality where mistakes are encouraged to be forgotten, and an insistent discordant scratching at every stroke of a letter. It's maddening.
