I hope you get that fountain pen soon. <br /><br />My apprentice is a she and I can't really say what she's writing but she's very talented and very industrious. <br /><br />Have you bought a cover to go with your Kindle? I got one of the leather ones and to me that does make it feel a lot like a book.Brian Keaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754984212153946279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571218098538219550.post-63360810111702763522011-01-10T21:14:29.285+00:002011-01-10T21:14:29.285+00:00So many things to say about this post.

To begin with, Happy Birthday!<br /><br />I'm sure that reporter who idealized the use of the pen did <i>not</i> use one himself when he wrote his piece.<br /><br />I can't imagine trying to write anything more than notes without a computer, and I prefer a mechanical pencil rather than an ink pen. (I do keep my journals in handwritten form, but still, that's with a pencil.) When I sign my big book deal (it could happen!), I intend to indulge myself with the purchase of a fine fountain pen, but I'll only use it to sign my royalty checks and autographs for those appropriately sycophantic.<br /><br />So far I have a grudging respect for my new Kindle. I'm about half way through the first book I've purchased for it, and I suppose it's been okay. I still miss the feel of a book in the hand, the turn of the page, the placing of the bookmark (my children made me dozens of them when they learned their dad was a reader). I haven't tried the spoken word function yet. I don't have any trouble proofing on my computer screen, but it's a Mac so maybe that makes it superior for the creative mind in some way.<br /><br />100 pages of single spaced outline???
