Hi Vincent
Mrs. Mia Wallace greets Vincent Vega at the door with … a note in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
Preppy FP + Morning Pages on a Train
Trial run experimenting with pleasure writing on a train, & journaling to help get through life’s challenges
Little Black Letters
Morning pages. Brain dumps. Stream of consciousness. This kind of journaling is supposed to be uncontrolled messy nonsense. I did that for a whole year. This year with no commitment to someone else to do it that way I'm less consistent. // blurred for privacy &/or...
Pleasure Writing Videos?
Working on leveling up my pleasure writing blog media to include videos. Writing in green ink with a Platinum President fountain pen This videos was just a quickie from last year, I believe that's my Platinum President (M) fountain pen (that I've shelved for the time...
Jon Lovitz Fake FP Job
Ran across an unexpected gem within a gem of a movie: Rat Race. I was barely aware the movie existed and had no idea what it was about (malarkey & shenanigans) or who was in it (a whole bunch of people), but it has a whole bunch of elements I love in movies. I...

All Inked Up
I *might* have a few too many pens inked up at the moment (and be too tired to properly save the post I was *almost* finished writing just before I lost it)
In Bed With Icons
How in the world did I wind up in bed next to THESE?!?
Writing for Travel Prep
Why I prefer & enjoy making analog travel itineraries instead of relying on mobile devices and the internet on trips.
Dishwashing Gratitude & Golden Beryl Ink Spill
Looking on the bright side of an inky accident and housework I usually hate.
AI-Informed Pleasure Writing Visions
Visions of pleasure writing generated by AI and my wordy decadent prompts.
“New” Pen
Pretty excited to finally open and use this pen I bought about a year ago. Last year I established a system for rewarding myself for meeting certain goals; the rewards are almost all fountain pens. That means I bought them ... but left them virtually untouched except...
Fountain Pen Dreams
A couple of dreamy fountain pen aspirations I let my imagination indulge in.
