For those bored/curious enough to see how I made this. Pretty standard. I sketched in standard #2 pencil, then charcoal pencil, then ink (standard Amazon micro fineliners), rubbed charcoal into paper for shading and texture. Took pic w phone. Imported into Photopea (free knock off of Photoshop) to add my text and adjust size/colors/textures.


























A drabble a day does sound like a great creative fiction exercise. I know some authors impose that they write at least a page a day, but probably the closest I came to that was forcing myself to write a journal entry a day. I guess it helped ease up my perfectionism somewhat, but in the end, I think I write better fueled by inspiration.
Same as for learning French, really. For example, the DuoLingo app / course sort of pushes the idea that doing a lesson a day will lead to great things, but in fact doing it that way takes ~15yrs to complete the A1-B2 coursework, i.e. the first 4-5 semesters of a college language course.
My word. oO
