    Nice looking bit of country, really enjoyed that, thank you. I can't understand how people can live without some wild country close by, but to each their own I guess. I'm lucky enough to live on property that includes a section of natural bush, as well as having a creek frontage and a large nature reserve behind us. Australian, so I don't really have worries about anything eating me, so bonus. Just got to mind where I'm putting my feet 🙂

    You might consider trying a different type of ink for the dip pen. Parker Quink is a good all-purpose ink, and I use it with fountain pens, but the way ink feeds through a fountainmpen requires a thinner ink. Some people have better results with a dip pen using a thicker, or more viscous ink. India ink is a dip pen go-to, but it's not fountain pen friendly, and there are other thicker fountain pen inks. You may also want an ink which is more permanent. If you got those papers wet, I doubt the Quink would hold up very well. Something like DeAtrementis document ink would be safer. Here in the U.S. the online retailers sell very small sample vials of ink so you can try them out. I don't know if you can find something like that in your part of the world.

    Wow. I got goosebumps. You have such a well developed voice in your writing. I'm saving this to watch piece by piece, it is so rich with visuals, style, and narrative. The balance between a structured story and a meandering exploration is so beautifully struck, a conclusion feels like a invatation, and a begining feels definitive

    Wow as a writer and multi award winning poet of more than two decades, I am so glad that I just found your channel and I agree wholeheartedly with content. In order for me to write well, I have to read well ie literature diet and watching my genre intake. Imposter Syndrome for me is a constant shadow, the carriage of internal mayhem allowed to grow organically from vine to vine or as it is chapter to chapter. I discovered quite intensely that in order for me to think well, overall I walk up to 40 kilometres plus per week. Walking clears the mental cobwebs and for the most part solidifies some mind bending creative narrative. So much so I have to jot thoughts down as soon as I am back home in the front door. As well I find your writing room very inspiring. I live for walking, reading, writing. I don’t smoke or vape, detest the thought of gambling my hard earned dosh and found alcohol once upon a time to be a total thief of creativity and bore. Work on what you believe in. Believe in your work. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yvette, 😊

    Quick question, I love to write in cursive too since I was trained in it in school. But then... do you really convert all of this to typing? I guess you have to right? In today's day and age? Or is the cursive stuff just for your ownself or private projects after your paid work (which I'm assuming in 2024... has to be typed)? Thank you! Glad I came across this video!

    • @thefantasystoryteller
