Qotw - 2018

[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

I thought that this week I would just use my everyday carry pens and also write as I do everyday.

A long quote! Also, that notebook page has such weird lining. Are those the French lines?

And also, are French lines better than 4-5mm lines for Spencerian or Italic practice?

A long quote! - says you who posts 100 times a day!

 

Seyes French lines. The blocks are 8mm x 8mm.

Each line is 2mm apart.

 

Not too sure if the pro's would approve but I enjoy it for all types of writing

I'm actually elated by the fact that it's a long quote, more to write, more material to practice with!

Ah yes. I don't watch television, I don't play video games, I mostly read and check the Internet for things when I'm indoors. And I’ve recently graduated, so I’m at home and I can check the computer regularly in-between chores and studying for PhD admission exams.

And thanks for the demonstration on the "seyes"!

Note: I copied from the post proposing this QOTW. However, the poet's name is actually Hilaire Belloc, not Bellac.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. - Laurence J. Peter

(That's the guy who came up with the "Peter Principle".)

It is not quote by Laurence Peter, this is quote from Samuel Langhorne Clemens - genius writer, philosopher and satirist, khows as Mark Twain.

but please, someone else choose next weeks quote. I am in the UK so it seems I am able to respond earlier than you folk in the USA

[Andreas Weber]

but please, someone else choose next weeks quote.

 

That would then be the next one to post.

Nice handling of the attribution

Btw. - when the expression "putting someone on" got into use Clemens had been dead for 50 years
