I am glad that I set out on this Journey. This post comes a bit late but I have pushed my skills a bit. Up until now my abilities have been minimal (mostly passing the pen between fingers and around my thumb).
Since starting this inquiry, I have managed to advance my skills to things such as The Twisted Sonic (first trick) and can alternate going back and forth around my thumb (second). These are small things that can eventually add up to become complex maneuvers and combos.
I am very excited about what I have already been able to advance on and am looking forward to what I will be able to do next week.
