I write with a fountain pen. That means I use fountain pen ink. This means that fountain pen ink gets on my hands and won’t come off. I have a special inkwell for my pen so that I have minimal ink on my hands but still, some gets on there. I have worn disposable gloves... Continue Reading →
Moar Ink
I said that only got two new inks in my last post about my new ink journal. I lied! I got more - and I also became very done with ink procurement because my brain said so. Shortly after procuring Monarcha's Cielo Cruel and Birmingham's Tesla Coil, I got Colorverse's a Cnc (Cancer zodiac) ink... Continue Reading →
New Ink Journal!
I designed, printed and handstitched a new ink journal because one didn't exist for the paper I use to write my novels and stories, Southworth. Fun fact about the covers: they were supposed to go on a journal I stitched for Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance ... but I lost them. Thus, he got... Continue Reading →
Non-Tech I Use
I talked about the tech I use to make my work and such. I also am very much old school in how I create (for example, I write long hand and bind my own journals) so let’s look at that. TWSBI 700VacR Pen, Extra Fine nib – I had such a hard time finding my... Continue Reading →
Tech I Use
Since I’m independent, this means I have to do almost everything myself. When I’m done writing the story and it’s about to go to book form, that’s also all down to me. If I were traditionally published, there would be others doing the work for me (and screwing me quite a bit out of my... Continue Reading →

You can listen to the audiobook sample on the “Published Works” page. Now, about pens. I got another pen – yes, I know, I... Continue Reading →
Much Ado About E-Notes
It's another "Much Ado" post! I guess I do these *shrug*. I have mentioned on this blog that I do hand edits after I type up my works. I print out my work double-space (which is usually a big stack of paper), sit down somewhere comfy and go over my work with a pen. Then... Continue Reading →
Glass Dip Pen!
I got a glass dip pen, partly because of the new upcoming book that’s coming out after Kinetics, partly because I always wanted a glass dip pen. They’re pretty! Mah Glass Dip Pen! With Cap! (That Doesn't Post)! I remember staring at more traditional glass dip pens in Barnes & Nobles when I was a... Continue Reading →
Pen Test, Test 1 2 3
I have been amassing an insane amount of inks recently. I think I’m done with my ink kick, I have more ink than I think I’ll probably be writing with … well, I come up with ideas regularly so I doubt that, but I definitely have a lot of ink to last me for the... Continue Reading →
“Spray paint and ink pens, I write in every color I think in”
I got a new pen. I originally used the Bic Atlantis fine point for the longest time (mainly because it flowed well and I had the squishy grip version) – but then the supply chain shake-up occurred. I know that the pandemic has definitely struck the supply chain in all sorts of odd ways but... Continue Reading →
