I should try writing with pen
Maybe that'll help me practice being okay with not being perfect
But with pencil I feel like I have more control
More friction - a pencil feels like I'm carving into the page
Like the way my hands touch clay
Pens and brushes make me nervous
It never goes into the direction I want it to
I like putting pressure on a page
I miss molding clay
Maybe I should get back into it
I'm going to keep using a pencil
I'll try not to erase
