Carpe Diem Ad Muertum
Sieze the day, to the death. There is no potential that shall be passed by, there is no piece of glory to fall by the wayside, there is no soul to left unsaved by the brilliance of language. As writers, we are gods.
Calligraphy
Quick! I'm practicing calligraphy purely because I found out it's a talent I have, which makes no sense because my artwork is terrible. All that aside, with regards to the "quick"...

Give me something to calligraphize, and a theme, if you want. I'll see what I can do.


In answer to implications/accusations/innuendos/outuendos/question:

Yes, I realize it's typically a feminine pasttime. However, why waste the talent?
No, I don't have any real utensils. I use a mechanical pencil.
Yes, by not having proper materials I'm probably mocking the art. Whatever.
No, I do not have much experience. I have practiced some, just not a lot.
Yes, if I get good enough, I will charge Gaian gold.
No, I'm not doing so right now.

Something to calligraphize? Um...how about a poem by Emily Dickinson! *is shot* No? Okay... How about a poem by somebody else then, like Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"? I love that one. Or "Nothing Gold Can Stay". That's a beautiful one as well, and you can play around with how you want to do it.

I have an old calligraphy set from back when I used to take classes in Japan, with real brushes and ink and everything (well, everything minus the proper paper). If you like, you're more than welcome to borrow it and experiment.

Um... I was thinking more along the lines of a single line... but we'll see how this works out. sweatdrop Must needs practice e'er any real talent surfaces.
