Don, thank you. I agree with you about a legal pad and getting somewhere else (thanks for reminding me, though!). Anything to rattle the cage and do something to shake it out! Oh, about the fountain pen -- don't I know it! I had to do an article about an 80-year-old fountain pen shop. Poor guy was being beaten out by the web discounters, but heck -- at $300 for fountain pens, it's a hard purchase to make!

Irish Sergeant: Oh, I said something somebody else already said? So sorry. I'll try to read everything on the site before I post it again. I was speaking in general, of anyone who has writer's block from time to time.
