{"product_id":"2940046443028","title":"InkStains January","description":"\u003cp\u003eInkStains is a random collection of stories – fiction and nonfiction of any genre – handwritten daily over the course of a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen John Urbancik started this project, he aimed to write a story every day for a year. By hand. He found an inexpensive yet fancy fountain pen, started with a Moleskine notepad, and on 1 January 2013 set to writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe took one mandatory day off monthly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStories did not have to be fiction. Nonfiction, essays, reviews, memoirs – all genres – everything was open, so long as they were complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the results: failures and successes both. Everything is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe cleaned up grammar and spelling, and spent months typing up the almost 250,000 handwritten words; 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.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Urbancik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170384036080,"sku":"2940046443028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046443028_p0.jpg?v=1763692912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046443028","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
