New Paragraph / New Line Using Apple Pencil or Gesture

I am trying to use the apple pencil for serious writing, but it is insane to me that there is no gesture or scribble movement for new line or new paragraphs. I can do this with dictation, why not with the pencil? It is beyond absurd that I need to flip open the little pencil palette and go searching for a carriage return button every time I want a new line. Writing a certain space below the current line will start a new line, but that is not reliable and is tricky. Simple drawing the return symbol should work. Drawing a '/n' glyph would work fine for a new line. This should at least be something that can be added by the user. We should be able to customize our own gestures or glyphs. THEN you'd have a **** of a feature.

Try tapping just below the first letter in the line and a next line should show a cursor to type the next line. it took me a few try's to get it to work.
