Hello! I am glad to have found this group. It is alive, and in this world of electronics and hashtags, it is great to connect with people who are still interested in connecting with others through the magic of ink (and forums). I have been dabbling on and off for years, cursed in my pursuit being a lefty, but I would still classify myself as a newbie. A few years ago I tried to train myself to write with my right hand and had some success but inspired by John DeCollibus, it is time to head south. My mom had amazing handwriting growing up and I can thank her for my love of pens and penmanship although my handwriting is rushed and usually illegible. Recently armed with some new pens and some ink, I have taken again to living life with black and blue on my fingers and a grin in my heart if not on my face. If you are in central Indiana, look me up!
