Egging myself on is a reliable way to ensure I delve deeply into the ideas
my intentional self wants to think through. I’m prone to short, targeted
bouts of writing otherwise — especially during weeks off from teaching. The
perks of embracing the wider side of stationery life.
One of the perks of having a sizable pen collection is rediscovering what I
enjoy about pens I already own. A dopamine kick without a new purchase.
That feeling of “oh now I recall why I really like this” that follows
escaping my rut of choosing the same pens over and again.
