changelingOMG NEIL WRITES LIKE I DO. This is how I was handwriting NaNo this year. No lie:
I'm writing my novel with two different fountain pens (a Lamy 2000, and a regular Lamy) filled with two different coloured inks (a greenish one and a reddish one), and I'm alternating pens each day, which means I can see at a glance how much writing I've actually done that day, or that week. More than five pages in the same colour of ink must have been a good day. The Lamy 2000 days are my favourites because the regular lamy, although a good pen for signing in, is less happy writing a novel, and handwriting like mine needs all the help it can get.
Except, y'know, it was in two Schaeffers, or similarly priced cheapish nice fountain pens, because I lose things and am also Not That Rich. I wrote in dried-blood red and green and purple. Red and green were better, because purple bleeds more over other pages when you drop the book in the bath.
*does the validated writer fangirl dance, which is complex, and so involves two European lace fans. And a black tutu with blood-red sequins.*
