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.

There's a fantastic community on Reddit, /r/prisonhooch, that has lots of info and some of the simplist, easiest, least expensive ways to start making your own alcoholic stuff. You can start with a jug of plain store bought apple or grape or pretty much any fruit juice, some yeast (even plain ol' grocery store bread yeast,) and some sugar. It's really fun! & A whole lot safer than I thought it would be before I started diving into researching about it.

There are also cider making and homebrewing and other related communities there that are great, but the one I mentioned is, in my experience, the most welcome to newbies and is not prickly or elitist and weird like some of those booze making communities are.
