Yeah, I learned that the hard way. Started setting clear boundaries with clients about response times after hours. Even put it in my email signature that I don't answer work stuff past 7pm. It made a huge difference.

Oh man, that's the best kind of feedback. My beta reader once said my hero just felt "angry all the time." So instead of saying he was bitter, I wrote a scene where he meticulously untangles a knotted fishing line instead of just cutting it. That one action showed his stubborn control way better than any adjective. Your radio fix is perfect for that.

What do you prefer, graphite paddles or a wet marver, when the glass starts to stick? I like a damp marver because it gives me that extra second to fix the shape. Too much water though, and you might shock the glass and crack it. Finding the right amount is a skill that comes from doing it over and over. Personal choice seems to play a big role based on what you are making.
