Nine Worlds

Going to Nine Worlds this weekend, which is smallish and local (though it’s still 2000+ people and I’m staying in a hotel to avoid evening travel, so I’m not really sure if I should call it either smallish or local…)

 

I’ll be on two panels: Writing What You Know (Friday, 10 am — I hope I’ll be awake by then…) and Breaking into Film and TV Writing on Saturday at 5 pm (much better time slot, hehe!)

 

I’m also doing two fun things: the first is the Fountain Pen Meetup set up by Aliette de Bodard. I’m brining lots of inks and pens for people to try — some beginner level pens anyone can play with, as well as my favourited to share with the others. 

 

This reminds me that I’ve never posted a picture of my Waterman 452 ½ after clean up—here it is, all nice and shiny!

 

And some other pens I’m taking:

 

From left to right: Wateman 52 Ideal, Waterman 452 ½, Swan Marbie Todd ½ (forgot the model, it’s an early eye-dropper, about 100 years old), Parker Lucky Curve Lady, Parker Duofold AF, and a Mentmore 
 

 

I’m also doing a Sword Punk session — historical weapons taster which I’m really looking forward to, especially now that fencing club has paused for the summer. 

I'll be catching up with some friends and meeting others I only know form on-line, so it should be fun. Looking forward to it!
