Been busy: final proof of YA book ready, other YA book revised and mailed to publisher, cover of adult Noir novel (Berlin) approved (end of year publication), and a fantasy/adventure book almost ready for publication soon. All in all four books in the works.

Terrible, isn't it?

Bought two vials of ink for my fountain pens: brilliant red and sepia. Using them with both of my Conklin pens. The red is rather pale, but I carry on.

#writingcommunity #writingandbooks ##authors&writing I've been asked to judge fantasy stories for a competition, and the level of incompetence is annoying (to use a polite term). They're in Dutch, and even the basic mastery of the language seems beyond many of the participants.

Yes, I am currently in the north of Spain, without Mac or wifi, but good weather. All well, except for probably inflamed left Achilles'heel.

Is this a sensible argument?
