I'm writing my novel by hand because it's such a freeing experience. I will never stop banging on about this because it really has changed everything. It’s hard to explain how liberating it has been. I sit here with my $2 A4 notebook and my bright yellow Lamy pen, and I write. I let the words spew out. I don’t worry about whether they sound amazing. I don’t agonise over how the sentences are fitting together, I just write. I'm about 50k words in and it's so amazing to have this tactile object I can touch, run my fingers over, feel my own scribbles. 💛
