Mistake 1: Interview mode
Ten questions feel like homework. Share first, then ask one or two genuine questions.
Mistake 2: Oversharing too soon
Depth is good; dumping trauma or private data on letter one is not. Pace intimacy.
Mistake 3: Expecting chat speed
If you expect instant replies, you will feel rejected by delay. Embrace the SlowInk rhythm.
A better default
One scene from your week + one feeling + one question. Stamp it. Send it. Wait kindly.
