Really, I only posted to show off about having a fountain pen.

It just feels so right doing it all in longhand through a nib. Really feels like I am writing something.

And then I will have to type it all up. Godddammit!

*Googles furiously*

Yes, much better than a gym!

*What the hell are keddles? Eel Bucks = fishing*

*Googes Keddles - fishing*

Yes, they look like more organisation is needed for the eel bucks.
However, it appears nothing can escape keddles :-(

Even more specialist than keddles eh?

Gives you some indication of why I have felt like the only gay in the village doesn't it?Nobody up the pub seems to want to talk about it.

Gosh, 'Longshore drift' has awakened those horrific Geography lessons :-0

Googled 'eel bucks' - they're pretty impressive :-D

You won't want short stories from what I am trying to write up.

Licences to crenellate, prebends, double long-shore drift, eel bucks. Utterly gripping!

I do write a little article for the village magazine every month, most of which would make little sense outside the village but you are welcome to read some of those if you would like to. i could post them on here if anybody wants to read them.

Thanks Allan.

Of course, there is no guarantee that it will ever get finished.

I have tried before but I think I might be a bit afraid of these damned new-fangled contraptions.

Great to hear of your progress, Sharron. Keep up the good work and maybe start on your stories of the sausage sandwich king too.

After all the mental blocks and overwhelming I have felt trying to write up my medieval stuff, I think I may have cracked it.

At Christmas, I bought two fountain pens from an advert that popped up on my Face Book. Every night I am knocking out about five hundred words now.

Of course, I will have to type it all up on the computer and do a lot of twiddling and embellishing but the fountain pen was what I always used for essays and I think it must be what unlocks my mind.

I am still very overwhelmed by it but ,at least, I have made a start.
