For the first time, I've flipped the canvas I've worked on upside down.

It's an interesting feeling. Neglect the fact that I'm writing basically a page of writing out-of-order, have you ever tried to write anything upside down? And then have you ever tried to read upside down? Reading upside down is fairly easy, writing, not so much. 'N's/'U's get you. 'S''s get you. It's a good exercise to do once in a while. It makes you consious that you are writing each individual letter and stops you from automatically writing a word.

Break you out of a complete lockdown on how you write. Going left-right, up-down seems almost natural - but its not; someone somewhere made a conscious decision that THIS was the way, and no other way was correct.

I should write my own story putting letters and words all around the page and only making sense of it all when the letters and words receive proximity.
