Trying out some new paper...

https://feddit.online/c/fountainpens/p/1470888/trying-out-some-new-paper

Trying out a little paper I wasn't familiar with: Maruman Mnemosyne.

The quote: “When all else fails, write what your heart tells you. You can’t depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus.” Mark Twain

Pen: Asvine V126, Steel Nib
Ink: Diamine Writer's Blood
Paper: Maruman Mnemosyne

The paper did really well: no spidering, no bleed through. Of course, Writer's Blood isn't the wettest of inks. I'll try another pen / ink combo to see how well this paper fares.

I still encourage anyone who feels at all compelled to write to do so. I just try to warn people who hope to get published that publication is not all that it is cracked up to be. But writing is. Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises. That thing you had to force yourself to do—the actual act of writing—turns out to be the best part. It’s like discovering that while you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the caffeine, what you really needed was the tea ceremony. The act of writing turns out to be its own reward.
