I have quit using a pen. I don't think that I have ever written out the perfect greeting card, birthday, sympathy... I always screw up, try to fix it, make it worse, then scratch it out. It is very frustrating. Even using a pencil you can tell that I had to erase something. Sometimes I make it all the way to my signature and then screw that up? 😣
