Three things I learned today:
1. I hate pointed nibs with a passion.
2. Getting ornaments right is hard.
3. Roundhand will be horrible.
I ought to stick to Carolingian minuscules and my broad nib.
Oh, and another thing I wasn't aware of: while I associate Western calligraphy with fancy lettering from the past, the blogosphere's hivemind seems to file it under "things to think about when planning your wedding invitations".
Huh.
