Does anyone know?

 

Aside from NaNo and InCo, I haven't found any.  My google-fu skills are not terribly overwhelming, so I thought to ask here, figuring if anybody would know, the hive mind would.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Scott

The only other one I know of offhand is NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month, which is in April).  During the height of the pandemic lockdown, I was incredibly prolific for NaPoWriMo --  something like 38 poems in 31 days (counting the early prompt on March 31 for people in other time zones, because it's effectively international at this point).  Mostly because I was stuck in my house....  But I was pretty happy with probably somewhere around 2/3 of them.

Not called such, but similar, is "Inktober" (do an ink drawing every day in October and post them to social media).  I did it one year and posted the drawings here, but the last few years too much stuff was going on in my life.

I tried to do NaNoWriMo a few years ago, and the first few days went okay -- even though it started the weekend of the Ohio Pen Show.  But as the month went on, too much else was happening (including traveling out of town for Thanksgiving).

Amusing -- but I'm not sure how the July one would work for me, since I write in mine almost daily (although if I have to get up at the crack of dawn to get in line for an estate sale, morning pages get pushed back till breakfast -- generally at some diner after I'm out of the sale, instead of doing it first thing the way I normally do).

This year's InCo was slow.

 

Will NaCalLeWriMo give Mo?

OK, you've stumped me.  What's CalLe?

I wish July was faster so that I get back into the habit of journal writing, it's so helpful getting my feelings straight.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
