Writes H.G. Wells in The Time Machine: "Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life. I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future."

Quite apt for a solar eclipse week, eh?

Trying out some new paper...

https://feddit.online/c/fountainpens/p/1470888/trying-out-some-new-paper

Trying out a little paper I wasn't familiar with: Maruman Mnemosyne.

The quote: “When all else fails, write what your heart tells you. You can’t depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus.” Mark Twain

Pen: Asvine V126, Steel Nib
Ink: Diamine Writer's Blood
Paper: Maruman Mnemosyne

The paper did really well: no spidering, no bleed through. Of course, Writer's Blood isn't the wettest of inks. I'll try another pen / ink combo to see how well this paper fares.

Lord Byron writes: "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes, by the dip sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more."

Every now and then I like to share a favourite thought about writing. Here's one that rings true.
"A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
Thomas Mann
