If you are a writer but also a streamer and you use Scrivener, we have made a program that will give you several wordcounts (total, session target etc) as simple text files to integrate into your OBS overlay. It will live update as you are writing. 1.0 of "CountWordula" (yes that was my idea) soon.

I never "air dryed" my hair cause it looked too chaotic. Turns out I actually have wavy hair... It will lay flat on day two yes, probably because of my length. But that it needed all these years for me to realize.

@jmritchey.bsky.social To answer your question about cheaper Fountain pens to try out (can't answer on the original question as it's limited): The Platinum Preppy is an insanely good choice for its price.

This week I found a pigeon baby helpless on the sidewalk. Picked it up and let it rest with me at home before giving it to a foster place in the evening. I messaged them yesterday and it's doing great and will probably be successfully released once it eats by itself.

No Make up Saturday Tiia.

I had to go on a rant about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9w7...

I really dislike is how the Aquatica dev team views creators. Many of us have been following and supporting the game since 2015. We provided tutorials and guides where the game was lacking them. Did we have critique especially when Snail did shady stuff? Of course. But we go back as its our passion

My crochet sweater for autumn 🍂🍁 is finished. I can already tell it's going to be my favorite piece this year.

I'm frustrated. Found an ink store yesterday, went in there and they had no idea about ink and wanted to sell me dip pen ink for my fountain pen. Also told me Lamy fountain pens only work with Lamy ink.

If you are neurotypical, how often do you go into the cinema all by yourself or to events and how often do you make it dependent on friends joining? Cause I am wondering if I am making it really hard on myself thinking, I should go to new places by myself without problems.

Love the censoring to not make it in the fountain pen feed, but then the comments push it in anyway. 😂 For me I test low budget pens to show people that they can enjoy fountain pens without spending a fortune. Those aren't inked up permanently. The "good" pens I get as memories for good things

Got a rejection last night. I almost expected it, cause I had enough waiting time to doubt myself 😅 Back to the start. Resubmit to other publications or shelving it?

Dodged the rain today, but I am glad the trees got some water. Had to buy more yarn for some presents.

New cardigan coming along nicely.

German bureaucracy is sucking all life out of me. There, I said it.

Grabbed my fountain pen and finished the first learning sheet Kurrent

I finished this Cardigan yesterday. First time I did something more complicated and I think it turned out quite nicely.

Here we are!

Waiting patiently on my new Fountainfeder delivery. A new journal and two new inks. Don't need any new pens right now. All the pens I would like to have, are ex.pen.sive.

The day today was like a walk in the park. No actually. It was a walk in the park.

Now it happened to me :( One of my ink bottles started to build globs inside and the ink filled in the fountan pen is slimy and stringy. Time to give it a full clean and desinfect it (was a Pelikan 4001).

Let's talk about affordable fountain pens again. Crelando (right) (I think 4€) and Herlitz Tornado (left) (8€)

I submitted my Cosmic Horror story now please wish me luck 🎇

Did you know we have a Discord for Fountain Pen lovers, Writers, Book enjoyers? Nocturne & Quill when Netflix and Chill doesn't tickle your fancy. discord.gg/6BKYT7BHzu

So many platinum preppies. www.instagram.com/reel/DLZ7Qrn...

Many call BIC the killer of fountain pens. But what if...

Cosmic Horror Update. Already got feedback from the first group of beta readers. This weekend I will fix some things they mentioned and then send it to a second group of people and then I think my submission is ready.

If you are playing #ARK ASA Ragnarok, you might see a familar name on their wall of honour.

Refilled my Kaweco Perkeo with Magische Geistertinte from DeAtramentis. #fountainpen

Good: People are interested in Open Source projects and want to support it and contribute. Bad: People without any software knowledge hand in pull requests completly AI generated, full of bloat and security issues.

Surviving the summer (somehow) while putting polish onto my Cosmic Horror Short Story.

Don't hate me fountain pen people cause I bought a ball point pen. But at least it's Faber Castell

it's getting somewhere

I love the Mekanism devs

It's wild to me how different fountain pens write and behave. Also I still have pens switching to be my favorite depending on my focus and which ink I am using.

Need some body doubling for your writing project or any other work that needs to be done? We're co-working on twitch today. I need to finish some video scripts! twitch.tv/TiiaAurora

The Abyss gazes not back, for it sees nothing worthy of notice.

Fountain Pen Friday? Faber Castell Poly Smooth in black. 13€. Technically a broad nib, technically more an M. Nib has a light flex to it tho. Such a nice finish with a silky rubber layer. Super comfortable grip. 10/10.

When Bluesky went live, there where just two kind of people here. Those who used their invite codes to invite friends and those who sold them on ebay.

25 years ago I made a font of my handwriting. This week I made a new font of my handwriting now. Quite a significant change.

Writing down quotes <3 #fountainpen

Journaling with fountain pen and my almost filled notebook.

Co-Working / Writing Shenanigans on Twitch. Last sprint into the weekend, Deadline hunting together. www.twitch.tv/tiiaaurora

For sure the same model as this one. Two different stores, different branding. The pink one 99 cents the striped one 2.99€ Both fountain pens write the same, very pleasant. Even on cheaper paper aren't too juicy so no feathering and ghosting on the other side with standard blue ink.

So my hunt of cheap fountain pens found a new low price. 0.99€. It's the same model as my chroma one from a few weeks ago. I think they buy all from the same supplier.

I don't want candle light dinners, I want heated debates about the paradox of time travel with occasional kisses.
