Song of the Scryptwyrm by Almost Bedtime Theater is currently live on Backerkit... and I got a sneak peek!

Check out my review based on my playtest of the game here to get a first look at how the game works and what exciting stories await!

another deeply personal journal entry, a continuation of another I posted in February. They are two parts of a whole, something I had the intention of refining and editing but that became too daunting. So here it is, unedited and very much stream of consciousness:

Hi Fediverse! My #Introduction - new here cause I'm missing the days of seeing art and humor all in one place without so much garbage. Some of my big interests are music (esp Japanese music), journaling/stationery, art...been considering getting into web dev lately as another hobby. I speak Japanese (more or less) and am LGBTQ! If any of that sounds cool, feel free to say hi 😄

Hey, #fountainpen and #journaling people, I have a question for you:

I’m sure some of you also write #MorningPages. I started last year as part of a 30-day challenge and have been writing my three A4 pages five to six times a week ever since. I use a cheap Oxford college pad, but with their fountain pen-friendly Optik Paper.

Now, my question: What do you do with your Morning Pages? Do you go back and read them later (Cameron recommends waiting at least eight weeks)? Do you keep the notebooks? I’ve already filled four college pads but have never reread them and don’t intend to. That’s why I’m considering disposing of them while ensuring my privacy.

What’s your take on this?

My own cursive (I'm now 70) had seriously deteriorated ever since i bought a desktop computer 25 years ago. I got to a point where I felt really ashamed of it and hesitated to hand write any message in birthday or holiday cards.
I have a fondness for old things, and had bought a bunch of circa 1910 humorous postcards. I found the beautiful handwritten script (cursive) personal messages on the backs of the cards to be extremely beautiful and endearing. I secretly wished i could write even slightly like that.
A few years later, I attempted fountain pen writing. As a leftie it was not easy, but I kept at it and altered my hand/arm angles. I loved it! My cursive improved, even becoming better than when i was in school, better than ever before.
Lately I've gone even more towards the 1910 era... have been enjoying using a dip pen with metal nibs and bottles of ink. It really seems to click with my sensibilities. It gives me great pleasure to write in a journal, and I'm super happy when friends and family tell me how much they love getting my cards on various occasions. 💌🖋📮
My personal journey to reclaim my cursive skills has been so rewarding and enjoyable.
