What do y'all do?

My wife is a writer and I enjoy creating music.

Is there something, in particular, that you like to use (software, hardware, tools, utilities, etc.)?

My wife writes using whatever, she's been collecting fountain pens more recently and I'm thinking of getting her a typewriter.

I like to use VCV Rack for music, probably the most engaging way I've created music for myself.

I do a lot of digital art. I draw sometimes, but my motorskills leave a lot to be desired (I draw with my wrist, not my arm, and I have shaky hands); so if I'm doing anything more than sketching, I need to draw in Procreate so I can keep retrying each line until it looks how I want.

Because of this, I usually stick to vector art, which is much cleaner regardless of motor skills. I lucked out and bought Illustrator when it was CS6 and not Creative Cloud, so I'm still using that and will likely continue to use it forever (I hate consumer SaaS with a passion).

I've been pretty impressed by what I've seen around here <3
