Eva’s Byte #542 – Pen-ding
“The pen is mightier than the sword.” (credited to English author, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, from a play he’d written in 1839)
How many pens or swords have any of us seen lately?
As for me:
A consumer who conducts online transactions, and a writer who relies on Microsoft Word to compose my stories, the mighty pen lies dormant.
I happen to have a preponderance of signing pens squirreled away. A couple of unwielded Cross pens repose inside their case. Slews of commonplace ballpoint pens are waiting to skate across paper.
In the capacity of a writer, I do pick up a ballpoint to scribble spur-of-the-moment ideas on lined paper.
At this point in time, I’ve finished drafting chapter 22 (717 words) of my Contemporary work in progress.
*Whatever medium we use to convey the written word, may each of us express ourselves clearly.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
