Thanks! Yeah, it can be a bit challenging to figure out. You basically have 4 main options. Roughly from easiest to hardest they are:

1. Just run in a circle around the enemies while dragging the quill with you.
2. Make most of a circle and then throw the quill across to finish the loop.
3. Make most of a circle and then dash across to finish the loop. You do have I-frames during the dash so it’s a good tool in your arsenal.
4. This is the hardest one, but also the most satisfying. Get some momentum by dragging the pen within your spell circle radius, and then click and hold to let it fly. The pen will make its way back to you, but by moving somewhat perpendicular to the direction you threw it and adjusting your aim direction you can make it take more of a looping flight path. It is even possible to get it to miss you on the return and orbit a bit (but you must keep holding the mouse button to do that).

I have uploaded some GIFs now which demonstrate some of these techniques.
