Some of My Favorite Inks – Vinta Aegean Armada

As promised, I wanted to share some of my favorite inks after that long series. Vinta Aegean Armada is, by far, my favorite ink to use in a pen.

Progress Today

Today I wrote 1280 words on a story for which I’ve only had a title and an idea since mid 2021! WOO! How’s your writing going? Need some cheerleading?

Welcome 2023

And with the turning, Janus looks from past to future…. :side-eyes my goal list: (are we ready for this? I’m not sure we’re ready for this.)

Given what I’ve seen and read of other Diamine calendars in the past, this is the best calendar yet for my tastes. Out of the whole run of ink there were 16 I’d be happy to receive as aContinue reading “Diamine Inkvent Summary – The Good”
