Haha :P She used to do a few in English. I want to contribute a bit more and this series is a good way to do that. Also I want to get going on a Dune series at some point, no surprise there :P

Ahh, calligraphy. Used to do that for a while in high school, but kinda stopped because apparently whoever designed our writing system really hated left handed people :ghost:
(the only recommended methods I found were writing under such a steep angle that it was ridiculously annoying to write :problem:

Yes I have to tilt my writing pad at a pretty ridiculous angle. Do you write with your hand over or under the line?

I'm over too, but oddly I don't have that problem unless I wanted to be pulling the pen rather than pushing.

With the broad-nibbed calligraphy I started on though I didn't have this problem; broad nibs tolerate pushing much better than the pointed one I tried (and I really don't like pointed-nib, at least at the moment!)

With my broad pens I always got "stuck" in the page to then jump free and make blotches or bad lines when pushing - maybe just bad pens :think:
Could be~ I've found the brand of nibs I'm using now, Brause, don't have that problem, while the Speedball nibs did
