diamineinkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 4 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Forest Gateau -- Scented This color gives you a clue to the scent of this ink. Figured it out? Cherries! It's not very strong and doesn't really stay on paper, but that's ok. The color is really nice. A bit more
Fountain Pens Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 3 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Noble Fir -- Star Bright (glitter) Wow! Look how shiny! "Star Bright" is a new category this year, and it looks like it's a chunky glitter [and maybe holo glitter?]. I don't know if the camera will really show the glitter,
inkvent2024 Diamine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 2 #diamineinkventcalendar #inkvent2024 #diamineinkvent2024 Wilted Rose -- Standard I really like this color. I generally gravitate towards browns, and when it was wet, it was little more brown than rose. It dries down to a quite lovely rose, and, being a standard ink, I think I'd like using this
diamineink Daimine Inkvent Calendar -- Day 1 A nice blue with a nice copper/rose gold sheen. [It's actually a glitter.] Blues aren't really my thing most of the time, but for the Inkvent calendar, this is a nice start.
amwriting Autumn/Winter Update: I know it’s been a while, but a lot of things have happened in the last few months that made it take a while before getting this update out. The biggest news is that I am currently in Northern Ireland for at least the next 6 months. Around the
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 31 #nibtober2024 My travels feel like an atlas now that I've been out of the US. And speaking of that, when most of you see this I'll probably be on a plane, or going to the airport. Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween! Next stop: Northern Ireland! -Fin-
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 30 #nibtober2024 Travel is scary for me. I've learned a lot of skills to cope with my fears, but I also worry about everything. Will I make it on time? Will my bags get there? The good thing, though, is that at the end of this trip I'
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 29 #nibtober2024 There are some days I feel like I've failed at, well, everything. I know it's not rational, but that's how my brain works. Some of it's what I call "old tapes" from past experiences. Some days it's
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 28 #nibtober2024 My room isn't empty yet, but we'll do most of my packing today. The reality of leaving is hitting me today and I'm trying not to freak out about it. * Pack suitcase * Weigh suitcas * Pack personal items * Do laundry * Pack last things * get
food Nibtober Day 27 #nibtober2024 Went out for Mexican food the other day and I had chicken Mole with rice and beans. I really love Mexican food and I've learned how to make a bunch of different Mexican dishes. Mostly because it's hard to get good Mexican food in Europe
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 26 #nibtober2024 I play @elderscrollsonline and when I play at night, I tell my Dad that I'm going to go "kill Dragons." Now it's become A Thing and sometimes he'll tell me, "Hey, you gotta go kill all those Dragons on the
human rights Nibtober Day 25 #nibtober2024 The dominant thought at the moment is that transgender rights, women's rights, and queer rights are all seperate issues. In reality, they're not. These issues are all about BODILY AUTONOMY! These are all about how you can and cannot use your own body. It'
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 24 #nibtober2024 The morning air is feeling a little crispy these days, which in Florida is a huge relief. Soon, though, I'll be in Ireland (Northern Ireland, that is) where there is actual Autumn and cold air. And soon, Christmas Markets! Pen: Yiren 890 Ink: Diamine Oxblood
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 23 #nibtober2024 It takes so little to do your civic duty and vote. It's sad that voter turnout can be so low. 2020 was the largest voter turnout ever at 66%. 2018 midterm only had a 49% turnout, which according to Pew Research was the highest rate for a

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 21 #nibtober2024 Some days you like to feel a little fancy when you write, so that's when I pull out my @benupen. They are definitely one of my favorite pens. I miss having all my pens, since most of my pens are in Ireland, and all my inks. But
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 20 #nibtober2024 There are a lot of interesting birds in Florida. I keep thinking that one of the birds I see out the window is a crane of some sort, but I know that's wrong. What's funny about this bird is that it's legs are
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 19 #nibtober2024 Sometimes I wish I could bottle happiness up to have on the days I'm feeling down. Although, for some people, I suppose that's not off from reality. Side note-- I am leaving FL on October 30! I can't wait! Pen: Benu Talisman Foxglove
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 18 #nibtober2024 As much as I hope for a smooth transition between being here and getting to Northern Ireland, I know I'm still going to have travel anxiety. I always arrive early and give myself lots of time to get through TSA and all that. This time I got

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 16 #nibtober2024 Well, the plan is to be heading to Northern Ireland by the end of next week! I am so excited! Although, it won’t feel real until I’m on the way to the airport. Right now leaving feels abstract. I still have some things to do before I
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 15 #nibtober2024 Some life stuff I can just sail through. Other life stuff, not so much. I'm excited that sometime next week I'll be heading to Northern Ireland to be with my Wife after over a year apart. But the actual change and travel part can be
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 14 #nibtober2024 We haven't gone far afield, but at least in our immediate area the damage is signigicant, but not as bad as it could have been. Yesterday was my parent's 45th anniversary! We went (today) to a Carribean restaurant which was super good! Life here is
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 13 #nibtober2024 I wasn't sure what to write for today's word "studio." The only thingsI could think of are that 1) The TV studio ABC Action News 10 (@abc_action_news) in Tampa has the most exceptional weather team in the country (if not the
