It feels very satisfying for my hands to be covered in ink. I'm working right now on late Christmas cards, and working on my calligraphy at the same time. I've almost got my Chancery perfect, except for a couple difficulties (lower case s, b, k, and p, and the top tails on capital letters). I think I'm going to try gothic before attempting roman seriff. Gothic lower case are complex but easy; it's the upper case letters that are crazily difficult-looking. It'll be quite some time before I feel comfortable doing those ones from memory (except D, A, I and L, which I use in my name, Lara's name, and the capital I).

I've also gotten some good work on my story fleshing out the beginning. I need to work on it some more, but I'm going to go watch a movie while I'm writing a couple more cards, and then I'm going to the 10:30 service at church tomorrow morning. Fun fun! See you, blogger, friends and family, and Merry Christmas!

It has very much been a Christmas season, but Christmas Eve and Day are for me fun time more than celebration time. I'm celebrating getting to write and work on my projects. Yay! [laughs] Au revoir, until again.
