The thing is, it does actually... Because it "forces" you to slow down and take time for it.

I hated writing (heavily dyslexic) but after getting a fountainpen and purposely slowing down I noticed it went better. Now I write in my own language again, I spend whole evenings writing scenes, essays, debates and letters.

Sometimes it is the tool that forces a bit of change (if you want to change of course).
