Skating

    I've been taking a lot of notes for classes, and I use these free pens I got from my university. They have flowy ink, so the points just slide along the page like...kind of like skating but softer. I write my lecture notes in a regular, cheap spiral bound notebook. The pages are kind of soft and springy when I'm on the front side (if I turn it over to the back, I'm writing against the stiff cardboard cover).

    I just noticed today how strangely much I enjoy those two feelings, of writing with the right kind of pen on the right kind of paper. And not just for notes. Even with fun writing I sometimes, no, a lot of times really dislike the process of thinking of what should happen next and putting what's in my brain down so I can read it. But actually skating things onto paper is fun, as long when I have something to write!
