I’d been planning on attending Norwescon — was going to be on several panels, do the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading — had even rented a hotel room. However, I’ve been feeling iffy all week, and this afternoon it got really bad. My throat is completely swollen and sore, I have a high fever, and […]

I can’t believe that I’m actually posting on Friday! I decided to do a post of fountain pens that have dragons. However, I also found a couple of other pens that I just had to post. (stinabat — I think you might really like the last one.)

Today I kind of went off the deep end. There are many pictures of pens under the cut. Plus, one of the most expensive pens I’ve ever seen — was $18,000, but now on sale for a mere $13,000! Mind you, it *is* beautiful and an amazing piece of artwork. These are all Maki-e pens.

However, because wood is varied, and many places where you buy wooden fountain pens make them by hand,
I needed to disengage for a day, so I missed pen porn Friday. Am giving you pens today though! These are all from Grayson Tighe. Most of his pens are one-of-a-kind. He has a lot of fantasy pens, a lot of dragons, mythological creatures and naked women. Here are three of his pens that caught

Last night I finished working on chapter seven. I was very pleased with myself. In addition to editing and rewriting for content, flow, and making things not broken, I felt as though I’d gotten closer to the work and was editing for Voice, that I was finally writing in that character’s voice again. I have
