Holding {A Fountain|A Water Fountain} Pen

{Fountain|Water fountain} pens {should|ought to|must|need to} be {held in|kept in} the triangle {created|produced|developed} by your {first|very first} {two|2} fingers and your thumb, when putting your fingers together naturally. The position of the pen nib {should|ought to|must|need to} {be in|remain in} the up {facing|dealing with} position. This would be the {broader|wider|more comprehensive} {portion|part} of the nib where {an engraving|an inscription} {could|might} go or {already|currently} exists.
