My writing increased this past week, mainly due to the three articles posted this week. All started as hand written drafts. I wrote the Aurora dry and the Krusac Legend is on its last drops of ink. I needed a thin nib with a dark ink so I inked up my Sailor Pro Gear Regency Stripe with Sailor Sei-Boku Blue-Black pigment ink.
