There was going to be another post about writing here, but I've just deleted it because I don't think you guys are interested, and I wasn't really saying much apart from listing what's on my current writing list. Though just writing the draft has given me a couple of things to think about.
Anyway, today I played with felt tips, making groups of colours (sort of to see what diversity I had in said pens (not enough yellows and reds*; oranges and pinks seem to be actually the same colours), but also to make colour palettes. Because it's all well and good looking at them on the internet, but when you don't work digitally, it's not much help. It's given me some starting points to work from (although with the current idea I have in mind, I am having trouble, but I will work around it. I've only come up with it today, it can't be all fabulous off the bat).
(Also I haven't slept properly in a week, so nothing is going to be amazingly fabulous with this brain right now).
(Hopefully the final thing will be fabulous, because that's the entire point, to some degree).
I'm going to try to post progress to tumblr because a) I want constant feedback and b) if I save it all and horde it, eventually I'm gonna be like, "this idea is butts" and toss it in the trash. And so. This idea is not butts. This is an idea I've had off and on for over ten years and never done much with because my brain is butts (also the media has changed off and on over the decade, which has never helped. I think I'm sorted on that score now :) )
I'mma shut up about it now because I'm tired and I need sleep.
*But red ink seems to dry out the fastest, and I'd actually love to know the science of why this is.

If I weren't a poor graduate student I would buy myself ink and a fountain pen and do calligraphy.

Oh calligraphy is amazing, but I don't have the patience for it! I envy people who do.
