InkStains: April

InkStains is a random collection of stories - fiction and nonfiction of any genre - handwritten daily over the course of a year. When John Urbancik started this project, he aimed to write a story every day for a year. By hand. He found an inexpensive yet fancy fountain pen, started with a Moleskine notepad, and on 1 January 2013 set to writing. He took one mandatory day off monthly. Stories did not have to be fiction. Nonfiction, essays, reviews, memoirs - all genres - everything was open, so long as they were complete. These are the results: failures and successes both. Everything is included. He cleaned up grammar and spelling, and spent months typing up the almost 250,000 handwritten words
he did my best to strengthen the writing where it was weak. The author is very happy with a lot of the stories, and disappointed with others, but some are fantastic. (I'm biased. You decide.)
