Top Comments of this video!! :3
The whole "I give myself permission to do nothing" reminded me a lot of a person telling me that creativity is made from boredom. You can only come up with stories if you have the capacity in your mind to do it. I have recently had a lot of free time and for whatever reason I discovered so much of my creative capacities I never thought I had. Before that I always thought that doing nothing is a waste of time. "Do nothing or write" is probably on of the best advice I ever got for writing

I have discovered one great thing about journals: you don't need to fill with text every bit of space from top to bottom and left to right.
You can 1) write on one half or two thirds of a page and leave the rest for comments
2) dedicate one page to one paragraph.
3) write only on uneven pages, leaving even for comments. I love this way particularly.
Plus I use stickers of different colours :-)

You are very lucky to live somewhere outside the Middle East. I am a girl from Iran and currently we girls are fighting with the government to get the right to wear optional clothing. Because they force us to wear headscarves and this revolution started last year when a girl was killed in the guidance patrol (by moral security police). Currently, as a girl who wants to have the right to dress herself without interference, I am not allowed to go to the library and many places like you. Of course, some cafes allow entry without hijab, but most of them are closed from the government for serve us. I traveled to Europe for a while and tasted freedom. Life is strangely calmer and less annoying when you do what you want and the road is smooth for you and no one constantly interferes in your life and work, does not humiliate you and does not deprive you of your most basic rights. Please become a good writer ❤

My school made us write all of our notes in fountain pen back in the day and I can very much relate to the ink-stained hands 😅 A word of warning though, I found that after 5-10 years all of my school notes had started fading, some of them just completely disappearing, so make sure you do your research and and get some better-lasting ink or at least not use fountain pen for something you are going to be sad to lose in a decade! 😕

I see first drafts as just tossing sand into a sandbox and then second drafts as making the sand castle so working in a notebook is great for me. It's garbage but I love having the initial ideas of my stories in pen form. It's just fun and it is great for just getting those ideas out of my head. I don't use fountain pen though just a really nice jotter parker ball point pen is good for me.
