Just 4 weeks. Wow.
Why, I don't know, but I think I've seen a Holland pen somewhere about some pen forum or listing, or maybe I saw it once elsewhere. Problem is, I've no idea where, and now I've got that little, isolated, irritating piece of gray matter in the back of my mind jumping up and down for attention. Then again, it would certainly be a
very rare find, and it's very much more likely my mind is just
wanting to think I'd seen something. It's going to drive me crazy for a few days trying to figure it out before I give up on it. I hadn't even heard most of the LE Waterman ink blot story, but now you've got Holland ghosting me just on thought alone.
Four weeks. Sheesh. The one and only research paper I wrote some 30 years ago took me 9 weeks to research, was almost 1/3 shorter, but not anywhere near as interesting. It did only take me 48 hours to write up after the research and aced my university class (probably because I'd snagged a rare interview), but thankfully it is sitting in the dark hidden away. I never considered it my best. Thank you for your writing.
