Well put! Quill and pen, indeed. I, for one, have grown too dependent upon my mouse and keyboard. Perhaps I should try actually WRITING again?

Well done, "my Muse is obviously back" friend. And I would be lost, especially without Longfellow, one of my favorites.

My God, Sage, you have given me an erection with your descriptive phrases. You, Ed, are back and thank goodness for dat.

Brilliant... This is right on the money.
Imagine a world without the likes..

Glad your muse is back;-) Well done! woof Rufuz!

Technology has its advantages, that is for sure, like no eraser or white-out required. My writing is so bad that even "I" can't figure out what I was trying to put on the paper. LOL
Take care,

I have written all of my six novels' first draft with feather quill and ink. Then second draft I did them on an old Remington Rand Streamliner typewriter using carbon paper, third draft on a word processor and the final draft on my computer I purchased just a year ago from the advice of my agent. The novels are all finished in Microsoft Word, the required format my publisher requests, and so all I do is pick one of my manuscripts off the shelf and send one every six or seven months to my publisher I signed a 5-book deal with. I have spent the last six years writing novels. I have been writing for over twenty years, and professionally for about 8 years. I make my own feather quills from the wild Turkey feathers I pick up on my property and I purchase India ink at the hobby store. Writing with a feather quill slows things down so the writer can actually feel the words. I love how it flows, slow and with great thought. Ed, this is a good write on the thoughts of our forefathers. Thanks.

You are doing pretty good youself Ed
