Perhaps that's what I need to do now. Of course, I'm in that hard section of almost to the end of the story. Perhaps that's the real problem.<br /><br />I love how you found your voice for fiction writing and didn't let your family's idea of what writing should be stop you from telling your stories.Marci Baunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850775917897362922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-70824837562570001362018-06-28T01:57:21.373-07:002018-06-28T01:57:21.373-07:00Hi Victoria, I have awful hand writing and am so i...Hi Victoria, I have awful hand writing and am so in awe of your calligraphy skills. But - I do love georgette Heyer. She's probably the reason I took up play writing and then dialogue rich novel writing. anne stenhouseanne stenhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737658937717248241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-24886817101550588622018-06-25T13:02:10.121-07:002018-06-25T13:02:10.121-07:00I really liked the elegance and introspection that...I really liked the elegance and introspection that came with creating illuminated letters. It was sort of a meditation for me. I do hope you finish your story on illuminated manuscripts, Marie, it sounds fascinating and if you've already done the research...

I haven't done anything like that for years. And I have to say I love finger painting - I never minded my kids getting messy with it either.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-25822367882413087742018-06-23T23:40:30.414-07:002018-06-23T23:40:30.414-07:00I have done a bit of research about medieval illum...I have done a bit of research about medieval illuminated manuscripts for a story, and have been completely bewitched by the beauty of the calligraphy and the illuminations. Unfortunately that particularly story is one that I have had to put aside to give myself 'thinking time' because the words wouldn't come anymore...
