But in that, I started doing that a bunch of years ago, probably also from you.

And you see people's layouts or their spreads and you're like, oh, I need to make it perfect.

And then you get to the place where you have to cross stuff out and like, well, I need a new journal now, because I had to cross stuff out, it doesn't look perfect.

But when you start writing in your Bible and you're like, oh, I misspelled this word.
