Sounds like writing! It’s okay, just let yourself write the way it wants to come out. It may be crap. But then you have something to revise, which is the next step! And the more you write (and read with attention to the writing) the better your first drafts will get.

Thank you! And, oddly, the link now works as well. Before I was getting a “no valid upstream” error. Excited to give it a listen!

I like the pitch, but the link doesn't seem to go anywhere for me... and a search for "Murmerstations" on Spotify doesn't yield anything that looks to be what you intend.

Don't blame yourself for reveling in the BEST SEASON! 🍂

It took me a long enough time to find “normal” pens I like. The thought of starting that process over for unclear gain is a strong disincentive.

It’s not the per pen cost for me, but the cost to gain basic knowledge of what to even consider. I think my highest barrier to entry is not knowing what I’m getting. I don’t want to buy a bunch just to try them and the sheer number of combinations of pen and ink is hard to spot a foothold in.
