I started writing with a pen and paper those many moons ago before computers, but I rarely used a pen as fine as the one below. Common writing utensils consisted of stubs of pencils my kids left scattered around the house, or ball-point pens with an ad for A-One Plumbing emblazoned on them. Still, I wrote, and continue to write.

Old-fashioned fountain pen.

"The style is concise, readable and definitely funny"
"The Devil Wears Prada" meets Erma Bombeck in this humorous memoir that tells all the secrets of the Miller Family, Not even the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

With warmth, wit, and a sharp eye for the comedy tucked inside ordinary days, Miller celebrates the beautiful imbalance between domestic duty and creative ambition — the dead tomato plant that meant more than a paycheck, the chaos that became comedy, and the love that held it all together.
