Hands Pens Detection

More From Jasper Fforde

First, consider the pen you write with. it should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. you don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. a ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. try out different kinds. don't get too fancy and expensive. i mostly use a cheap sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... you want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on paper.
Writing Hands Feel Good
Virginia woolf wrote, "across the broad continent of a woman's life falls the shadow of a sword." on one side of that sword, she said, there lies convention and tradition and order, where all is correct. but on the other side of that sword, if you're crazy enough to cross it and choose a life that does not follow convention, "all is confusion." nothing follows a regular course. her argument was that the crossing of the shadow of that sword may bring a more interesting existence to a woman, but you can bet it will be more perilous.

The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Discworld Pens Ifs
The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the redeemer to change men’s lives. as he said to the dead lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” come forth from the despair of doubt. come forth from the sorrow of sin. come forth from the death of disbelief. come forth to a newness of life. come forth.
Men Doubt Sorrow
I've got a pen, and i've got a phone, and i can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive action. i've got a pen to talk executive actions where congress won't. where congress isn't acting, i'll act on my own. i have got a pen and i got a phone. and that is all i need.

Two hundred romans, and no one’s got a pen? never mind!" he slung his m16 onto his back and pulled out a hand grenade. there were many screaming romans. then the hand grenade morphed into a ballpoint pen, and mars began to write. frank looked at percy with wide eyes. he mouthed: can your sword do grenade form? percy mouthed back, no. shut up.

I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two i know whether it is by a woman or not.
Writing Two Pieces
When i began writing these pages i believed their subject to be children, the ones we have and the ones we wish we had, the ways in which we depend on our children to depend on us, the ways in which we encourage them to remain children, the ways in which they remain more unknown to us than they do to their more casual acquaintances; the ways in which we remain equally opaque to them.
Children Writing Wish
I formed a resolution to never write a word i did not want to write; to think only of my own tastes and ideals, without a thought of those of editors or publishers.
Writing Thinking Editors
The world is always somewhat vicious. i take that as a given, but at various times in various circumstances that fact will be no more than a shadow or an echo behind some poem. other times it will be more manifest. i try to write myself into articulations of half-felt, half-known feelings, without program. i'm always working toward getting my world and, hopefully, the world outside of me into a version that makes sense of it. viciousness requires the same precision as love does.
