Quit
I was doing okay on the A-Z Blogging Challenge. I got to the letter P. The next day was Q. Ironically, I quit the challenge on that day. If I had been proactive, I would have had all my posts written and ready to go for the challenge. Instead, I decided to write them the day before or the day of the next letter. Then, a new opportunity presented itself and I had to make a choice. Keep doing the…

Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop
Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop
I have a new favorite pen. It’s Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop. I have two. One like the one on the right and a green one. Granted, I am a fountain pen newbie and I don’t have a vast collection as of yet. I began with two Jinhao fountain pens from China. With nothing to compare them to, I thought they were dandy. But these Pilot Metropolitan pens…Oh, my! They are lovely! A much smoother writing…

Ontological
I’m still hanging in there with my not so organized list of posts for the A-Z Blogging Challenge. I was going to use the word “organized” for today’s letter “O”, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Organized that is. The word “ontological” popped into my head as I was searching for a different “O” word. I have no explanation for why it came to mind other than I must have heard my oldest son say it a…

Next
For the A-Z Blogging Challenge I chose the word “next”. I have found myself entering into the next phase of my life. My three kids are finishing up their college degrees and getting ready to embark on their life journeys apart from my husband and me. I recently told my husband that we need to get a life of our own, branch out, do new things – together – just the two of us. So, a couple of days…

Massdrop
Massdrop. Have you heard of it? I was introduced to it in one of the Facebook groups I belong to. I think it was the fountain pen group, but it could have been the bullet journaling group. It’s not an online store like Amazon, Ebay, or Etsy. It’s made up of communities of people who share similar interests. You get to choose the communities you are interested in when you join. One of the…

Leuchtturm 1917 I've always loved journals, but I've never given much thought to certain brands. Not until recently. As a new member of the bullet journal tribe, I've seen two brand names thrown around: 1.
Kaweco Sport Skyline
The Kaweco Sport Skyline fountain pen has found its way onto my Amazon wishlist. I’m not sure if it will ever find its way into my shopping cart. I must have seen it somewhere on a fountain pen group message board or maybe on a website or blog. The color is sort of retro and I like that. Just looking at it though it reminds me of a seam ripper. I’m sure it’s much larger than a seam ripper and…

Jinhao
Ah, we’ve reached the letter “J” in the A-Z Blogging Challenge. I chose Jinhao, the name of the company and the fountain pens that I posted about waaaay back when we were at the letter “F”. Once again, here are my two pens: And here is another Jinhao pen I’m considering:

Ink Dreams
A few months ago I was in Michael’s craft store and I purchased a calligraphy pen set and a bottle of Speedball Super Black India Ink – because ink is ink, right? Flash forward to about a week ago, and I’m perusing through some post on a fountain pen enthusiast Facebook group – because somehow I went from calligraphy pens to fountain pens in a short amount of time. As I scan the Facebook group I…

Hand Lettering
As I make my way through the A-Z Blogging Challenge this year, I come once again to the letter “H”. Thus, my post for today is hand lettering. Soon after I began doing calligraphy again, I found myself pinning fonts that I like on Pinterest which eventually led me to pinning tutorials on hand lettering. I haven’t found the tutorials very helpful. It seems like trial and error is the way to go for…

Gullor 450 This may be one of my future fountain pen purchases. It's another Jinhao but it has a bent nib for calligraphy, although not traditional Western calligraphy. (This post brought to you by the letter "G" on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.)
Fountain Pens
Yesterday, I wrote about eyedropper fountain pens and how my interest in fountain pens has been growing. When I was a kid my parents called all pens fountain pens. It wasn’t until later that I learned the difference between a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen. I think my parents may have owned one fountain pen. I don’t know if it was ever used. Who knows where it came from. My grandmother was…

Eyedropper
I’m a newbie in the realm of fountain pens. I was introduced to the idea of writing with a fountain pen several years back when a friend of mine began writing with them. I was interested by what she told me. I went to a few websites from which she had purchased her pens. I pondered, and pondered. Nothing ever came of it. Maybe it was the expense that held me back. Maybe it was something else.…

Designing Desk
This is what I want. The laptop desk, not the computer. I don’t necessarily want it for my laptop either. I want it so that I can do my bullet journaling while I sit on the couch. The product advertisement says: Works great for students, travelers and persons with limited mobility. I would add to that: people who like to sit on their comfy couch to work on their art or bullet journals. Since I…

Calligraphy
I think I became interested in calligraphy when I was in 9th or 10th grade in high school many, many years ago. I lost interest around my second or third year in college. I kept my calligraphy kit though. I passed it on to my daughter years later. My interest in calligraphy returned recently when my daughter gave me a handmade journal from Romania. The maker of the journal had written something…

Bujo
In the nonstop quest to be more organized, more together, I have gone through countless planners and organizers. My most recent discovery is the Bullet Journal devised by Ryder Carroll. Maybe, just maybe, I’ve found the perfect planner at last. Here’s what I love about bullet journaling: There is no pre-packaged planner or planner system to purchase. Any old notebook will do. It is completely…

Artistic Endeavors
Here I am winging it for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I had a plan and then decided to scrap it at the last minute. I wonder if this is a new phase I’m going through in my life. I recently did that with my manuscript for my fourth book in my Narcissus Legacy series of books. At any rate, today I’m talking about art. I’m a mediocre artist. I’m not horrible at it, but I’m not that talented…
