slowing down the writing...



Meet my new ring - large enough to be another member of the family. I've been craving something dramatic for a long time, and when I saw this one, it was love at first sight. What I hadn't expected was how different it would make me feel - not just the way I flounce it around like a star-struck fiancee but when I'm writing too. Everything has slowed down a little. It makes me more aware of how I'm making the letters, and reminds me how pleasurable the actual physical act of writing is - something it's all too easy to forget after a couple of hours at the keyboard.

I'll be painting my nails soon. I can tell this ring has plans. Big plans...

I've had a little break from blogging lately, but now catching up with what I've missed.

I like this post. I feel the same - I like writing using different pens and colours and on different types of paper and in different notebooks (I've got a bit of a stationary fetish, and once wrote a confessional piece about it!).

Its amazing how much the medium can affect the letters and thereby the words and thereby the whole...
