Fic progress
31 July 2018 09:49 amNow on a new notebook (the ancient ledger is finally full: 90 pages at ~500 words per page: circa 45,000 words) which is much lighter to carry and has much thinner, more closely-ruled pages. This one seems to run at about 300 words/page, so at 100 pages that means I've got room for another 30,000 words in the story. I think I'm over halfway.
Three chapters done of Arctic/Nautical Raoul so far.( Read more... )By a strange coincidence, I came across a Parker Vector fountain-pen being thrown away that was identical to my own (it even appears to have the fine nib), and managed to scavenge a replacement lid, since mine had become distinctly sloppy and kept dropping off in bags, etc. I was a bit suprised that it was the actual metal lid and not the somewhat battered plastic of the nib unit that was causing the problem, but presumably it had become slightly deformed by being dropped too many times...
I'm keeping the other pen as a backup/spare.
