Not long ago I was experimenting with this process of drawing that yields an effect of printmaking. It involves layers of ink on Plexiglas (0r, in my case, plastic wrap taped to the table surface), objects for scraping into the ink, paper for printing and pencils, fingers, etc. for making marks... Multiple prints can be taken, but each one is a ghost of the one that came before. I think what I really dig about this is the simplicity of the process, and the way it invites minimal mark making. A morning goes by and lots of prints are made, most of them not very good, but as always, it's better than not drawing.
