There is a great kids book called The Dot by Peter Reynolds. A kid is convinced they can’t draw. Art teacher has them start with a spot, just one mark, their creativity grows from there. Great book for anyone in the arts who needs inspiration and confidence.

Most writers had a slew of pencils handy and a “lucky pen” for final drafts. :)

The blank page is the number 1 reason, the pencil’s No.2.
