[Pen/Pencil Review] The Christmas Haul
Just in case anyone was concerned… the pen blog is safe for a while. Thanks to wonderful people in my life who totally enable me. I still have to clean out the GIANT BOX OF PENS – which is part of the Grand Organizational Process of 2017. JetPens did an awesome black ink sampler… so prepare for a lot of black ink. But there are a whole lot of other things, too.
So we’ll see where things head in the new year. There are plans and goals. Pens are just part of it. Another part is actually USING them. One of the things I will talk about more about in the Wednesday blog is this “journal” I received. WRITE THE STORY.
This thing has a prompt and certain elements on each page. Ranging all over the place. Not a lot of space, just a page. I’m hoping to use this as a warm up exercise. Allen Williams triggered this by posting a while back by showing what he drew on just for him before working on the commission work. Cool idea because I know some days I am not feeling whatever novel or short story I’m working on. I’m hoping this helps jog my brain. If it ends up creating new flash fiction or longer works, then all the better.
So pens and things to write. But first… Marvelous Nerd Years Eve. I have panels. I’m told I have a table, but I have no where.
