Hi everybody!

I was excited to find this site! I post on Rambling Snail pretty regularly and see some familiar faces (well, usernames) here too.

I have a relatively small collection of FPs but hope to change that. smile.gif My hubby and I own an online store that sells FPs and inks -- it's an attempt to make money from our hobby. I'm also a freelance writer and use my FPs to write all my first drafts longhand; I do my editing as I type the piece. Getting to use my pens and different colors of ink is a great motivation to get my work done! smile.gif

Anyway, thanks for welcoming me!

Yes, there are some RS regulars here. I asumem you have discovered PenTrace too.
Of course, this is by far the most pleasant forum biggrin.gif.

No need for hope. Coming here makes that a certainty! laugh.gif

I try to make a living from one of my hobbies, too biggrin.gif. Come to think of it, Iīve done thatmost of my life, anyway, even when switching careers biggrin.gif.

Thatīs what I do too. It is great fun to write everything down longhand first, or even just short notes. Preferably with different pens and different colours of inks, of course biggrin.gif.

BTW, you can add these links to your signature, so you donīt have to copy and paste or edit by hand anymore. Just look around "My Controls", and you should be able to find where it goes.

Warm regards, Wim

Thanks for the welcome, Wim!

Yep, I'm also familiar with Pentrace. Many of the same folks in each place, but each forum has its own "flavor" and attitude! I look forward to getting to know everybody here. (And will get off my duff and set up my sig line! blush.gif )

All the best,

Natalie

Welcome to the Madhouse ! biggrin.gif

Did you see we have a "Write Stuff" forum, lead by Kurt, who you must know from RS ?

Glad to have you on board !

Hi Natalie,

I had hoped that this would help motivate me in writing and it has...

snails. I expend so much energy on snails sometimes that writing creatively (or even technically) has taken a back seat. sad.gif

But I'm working on that.

Welcome to our little group. Look forward to more from you and do check out The Write Stuff forum as Denis suggested.

Regards,
K sm_cat.gif

Hi everybody and thanks for the welcome!

I did indeed see that Kurt is here, complete with his penchant for scary avatars. I don't write so much fiction anymore, but who knows, maybe I'll get creative! wink.gif

Hi Natalie!

Welcome to FPN biggrin.gif

We have another Natalie who posts here under the username "Doulton" so I will have to remember who is who! There is a "Natalie" who posts on Pentrace, but I am not sure if that is you or the other Natalie (or someone else!). In any case, it's nice to have you onboard. smile.gif

Hi Natalie, and welcome.

BTW, I quickly scanned your website -- keep in mind that in ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped as gods. They have NEVER forgotten this! At least my cats remind me of this daily.

Hi Natalie!

Nice to meet you!

Hi Elaine and Wim, all you do is open multiple tabbed browser windows in Firefox by pressing CTRL+T then goto each web site and click on View new posts, then goto options in Firefox and click use all as home page. it sets all 3 web sites/view new posts as your home page.



I hope that makes sense.

But did they look like this? LOL!


I did a dorky thing and made a page for the cats on my website this morning:
