2. Inktober is a major time commitment
3. Inktober can be an ego booster
4. Inktober can be an ego crusher
5. Inktober is not a competition
6. Inktober can be a big distraction
7. Inktober can mess with our emotions
8. Inktober can be very expensive
9. Inktober is a money-maker for some people
10. Inktober can make you a better artist than you imagined
