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'm getting back into writing right now! writing fiction used to be a big interest of mine, but i lost confidence in my abilities and eventually developed anxiety around writing basically anything at all. i've mostly worked through that though :) my goal is to have a piece of writing of any length that i can say is complete.
my favourite method is writing by hand, specifically in cursive. i'm probably going to switch to using my phone with a bluetooth keyboard, though - i have fragments of a bunch of different things and can't organize them easily on paper.
also, sometimes i draw, paint, or do linocut printing. making prints is a lot of fun! i've made band patches as well as original pieces. for mediums i like both linoleum and softer plastic blocks, but not the really soft ones as they tend to flake. but maybe it's that my cheap speedball carving tool isn't sharp enough lol
Are you interested in short fiction or larger works? My wife started out as an erotic fiction writer before she moved to the US where we met but she's writing women's fiction which I have enjoyed very much.
i've really only done short stories except for a silly thing i did for one nanowrimo. i'd like to write something novel-length at least once, though!
