Doodling is great for the brain. Teachers and public speakers: if your students are doodling in class, or your listeners are doodling during your presentations, let them. It helps them concentrate and actually reinforces what they’re learning. Time and The Guardian have written on it and cited various psychological studies.
Today is Day 11 of 30 Days of Creativity. I feel like I’m running out of juice, when it comes to this project, to be honest (though maybe I’m just getting to the half-way hump)—but today I at least did some doodling while watching old episodes of “The Office”.
I find that having great pens makes all the difference. A good pen really makes you want to draw. (And everybody has a different favorite kind of pen.)

It’s nobody’s birthday in my life. I just like colours.
Have a great Saturday night!

Veronica and I were just looking at old stuff we all gave dad when we were ickle. I guess he got you new markers at some point (you were maybe 8 or 9) and you drew him a nice picture with them and wrote on it “I love getting new markers”. Your comment here about good pens making all the difference made me think I should share that it seems you’ve always thought so!
I never write without the right pen. Yesterday, I didn’t have the right pen, and I ended up writing (by accident) all over my parent’s couches. Sigh.
[...] 11. I doodled some cartoons and published it (which I don’t normally do): “Just a Few Doodles”. [...]
