Beginnings...

Well, here it is. My shiny new blog. I've been thinking about getting my own blog for some time, but never went beyond the thinking part until now. About eight months ago, my friend and I made a blog together for writing unofficial reviews for books, movies, and whatever else catches our fancy. This blog, however, I'm hoping to use for three main things:

• Discussing and rambling about my many obsessions and hobbies
• Something to (hopefully) keep me somewhat accountable as I attempt to write the various stories I'm working on
• As a journal to organize memoirs of the bigger (and smaller) events in my life

As for the name- Calligraphy and Courier New- I wanted something that related to writing, since blogging is writing, after all, and I hope to be a published author one day. I love the beautifully flowing scripts of calligraphy, and the word itself evokes images of the days long ago when scribes and monks would laboriously copy the Bible in their graceful, elegant script. Conversely, Courier New is meant to closely resemble the font of a typewriter, and makes one think of the days not so long ago that ushered in a new era of writing.

Thanks so much for stopping in! Please enjoy Calligraphy and Courier New!
