Mechanical Pencils for Writing (Cursive) (self.mechanicalpencils)

I've used mechanical pencils for note taking for decades now, but recently took up cursive and journaling.

Maybe I'm just not used to it, but I find my hand cramps up way more than it ever did when I was printing notes (maybe 1 to 2 pages per day).

I'm curious what other people are using for serious writing. I've got my Rotrings (naturally), but for real "heads down" writing sessions I've been using either the Kokuyo Fitcurve (a fat and light mech. pencil) or just a plain wooden pencil.

And lately I've been using wood pencils more and more, even for note taking. Anyone else dip back and forth like this?

Have you tried the Faber-Castell e-motion? Very thick line due to its 1.4mm lead, but very expressive and a joy to hold in the hand.
