Welcome. There’s a certain irony to writing a blog about a hobby that’s essentially analogue, but that’s a problem I’ll just have to get over. I thought my first post should be to thank and give credit to many of the wonderful bloggers who have informed and inspired me over the last couple of years as I’ve opened my eyes to the cornucopia of pens, nibs, inks and papers out there. These are the sites that I trust, that are the heart of the community. So here goes:

OK, that’s a longer list than I expected, and it’s not even including the many makers, writers and companies that I follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But hey, it’s a start.
