buy me a ko-fi ko-fi.com/theacornscribe and help me survive

SciFi story in progress @ https://thesalvagersplague.wordpress.com
I am a Person with Disabilities #pwd, unable to work, and living in #poverty. I am writing this story as a way to keep my mind off the poverty and maybe show that folks like myself CAN still contribute to society, even if we can't work a conventional job.

Any support helps.

sounds beautiful!

also, sounds like the way I look after a couple hours in "yarn goblin" mode.

Or for that matter, what is known in the Calligraphy community as "shrimp pose"

do we have any way to get rid of him other than storming h is cottage and dragging him out to burn him at the stake?

the RCMP is dragging their feet, the OPP is in his pocket...
and most of ontario doesn't give enough of a shit to vote

mine is a black cover notebook. just a thin one, but it was only 5 bucks. Oh, and wow, it did feel so much different than the canson XL multimedia that I usually use.

yeah, I remember that being a topic back in recovery way back when... Shoulding oneself to death can send one into a downward spiral.

I don't dwell on it much, but every time I pick up the pen, afterwards I think of how doing drills would help so much.

practice is hard! I'm going thru some bad depression right now, and I know I SHOULD be doing drills for my letters and whatnot to get better, but I can barely get myself to do these little projects when the urge strikes me

I have a rhodia notebook around here somewhere. I know it works well with my pilot parallels...hadn't tried it with dip pens. I should dig it out and try it.

lol, I think the same of my own. and I am constantly having irritations with my nibs/ink/paper.
its either too much ink on the nib and it blobs onto the work, the nib picks up hair and smears the ink, the ink doesn't load onto the nib well...
or the nib scraping fluff from the paper and smearing

I kind of do a mix of pascribe and suzanne cunningham's exemplars

and yeah, I know my letter spacing can be kinda all over the place at times. I'm trying to fix that, but it's slow going

one of these days I should try my hand at that as a change of pace
