Still sick.
Bit worried about how many hits I'm still getting in my blog, presumable for the Script Analysis piece - when I know that I haven't finished it! I'll send a mail out to Scribies when I have. It holds together at the moment but it isn't finished!

There was a great idea from a lady called Alice in Cyberscribes today.

I will take up practising ovals a'la Bill Hildebrandt again when I've finished practising my spacing quote (bit rough doing both - a million circles then a million straight lines - does my head in) with a view to building up to flourishing and cadeaux, as in his book.

The ovals are still in pencil. last time I was doing them. I will transition to pointed pen when I can do them evenly and as fast as he says I should be able to (I forget how many per minute he says - but it's an awful lot).

Anyway, Alice was talking about how useful using a ruling pen was in teaching muscles re pressure and speed with ink because it's unforgiving.
I do have a ruling pen - just never used it.

And if there is one thing I'm shocking at - it's hand/eye co-ordination and having a heavy hand, so I'll take all the help I can.
