And I was doing so well.

I must have been channeling the spirit of Charlie Brown.

Yikes.

My first scroll with my new pen and I made a blot. Right at the end of the text, no less. And I was so happy that I was unable to get the ink to fall off of the pen and then a drop of ink fell off in mid word.

Poo.

I had decided not to fix the mistake. I blotted up the excess ink with a napkin and just kept writing. I figured that anything that I would do to remove the blot would make the scroll look worse. Sometimes you just have to leave the mistake alone.
