Most excellent! Very much looking forward to more videos and audios, but still like your writing that much more.

Being the local contrarian, I am a Bic Crystal fan. Have used them since high school where we, if needing colours, would elastic them together. I wrote a book with them, sadly not investing in their stock first.

So small. So mighty. So devastating. So loving. All in a stick with fluid. Whoda thunk?

So very kind of you, Freeq - thank you! And yes, the writing will keep coming... first ☺️

And as for the Crystal? Wielding that takes great skill and cunning - only the most experienced sharp-writers can handle such a fierce pen 😉😁

So now my question is this: with so many people loving your Bic Quad and my Bic Crystal and the Lamys and the Parkers and Faber-Castells....why is the only available icon a fountain pen nib?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It's an anti-pen conspiracy, Freeq! I just KNOW it... ;-)

I literally had a Cross pen confiscated at the door of a Willie Nelson concert at HOB in Houston. My thoughts at the time were along the lines of ‘Terrorist grandma skewers Willie with modern day quill from the General Admission section”. Maybe I was completely off the mark and they just thought I’d use it to exercise my first amendment rights (perhaps on the bathroom wall) to write a scathing review of the breathless, rambling, sometimes unrecognizable melodies he was spinning onstage.

I'm glad you liked it, Charlotte ☺️ I think I'll probably slip these in sporadically, when the creative mood strikes me 😉 Appreciate your kind words, as always! 🥰

It's nice to see the person behind the pen! I might try it myself sometime. I’ve seen the link where you can make a video out of your post but I didn’t know what that meant until now! I clicked it once and nothing happened. Lol! I guess you have to have the video.

I look forward to all your future lines with or without videos! Stay lovable!

Very gracious of you to say, Certiorati - thank you for the kind words. I'm coming to the conclusion using these as occasional supplementals can be a fun respite, so being I always focus on the writing first ;-)

This is beautiful! I used to teach (and still personally practice) Notice writing and know first hand the power of wielding the pen in an effort to correct bad faith contracts.

How kind of you, Nicole - thank you so much for this comment! Physical writing is vital to a culture, IMO, and the fact we are getting away from it (especially cursive) saddens me.
