@Appleblossom poetry and grief thesis sounds really interesting!! it sounds like quite a heavy subject area too, but definitely very meaningful. what sort of music are you working on at the moment? do you play instruments?

@rav3n it was only a gel pen so I shouldn't have used it but I couldn't be bothered getting up at the time to get a proper one.

ohh i see! @Gremlin24 there's been times when i've written cards or drawn something in gel pen... and then the things i drew/wrote get imprinted onto my hand and spread onto other parts of the paper 😬 its so hard to be patient with the gel and let it dry fully sometimes!

@rav3n i have that problem every night when I use them to colour. Don't know why they can't just dry super fast 😂.

ugh i know right!! feels like we need to use gel pens under a fan or something @Gremlin24 i used to have instant dry gel pens (in black though)... it was not instant enough for me 😅

@rav3n even sitting under my aircon they don't dry quick enough 😂. Instant still isn't quick enough, like it's gotta be dry before it hits the paper 😂

haha EXACTLY how dare they call that 'instant'!? 😆 @Gremlin24 guess its the same with instant noodles and stuff, they say 'instant' yet it takes me at least 5 mins to get it ready.
i reckon 'instant-if-you-have-patience' gel pens would be a more accurate label
