InkStains Series 2: January: Carnival and Circus

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. The stories in this second series were written in 2015 with various fountain pens in a selection of Leuchtturn1917 notepads.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; 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.)
