Hey creative people! how are you all doing? Hope you all are doing awesome!

I finally wrote a letter yesterday (after trying a couple of times) and realized how long it had been sence I had actually written.

Is the written language becoming dead?? If I only could teach my kids either typing or writing I would go with typing… lol… what do you guys think?

Yep, my handwriting is looking like some awkward font that no one would ever use on his computer, lol :P

This is becoming a big problem… I was writing a small note yesterday to paste on the refrigirator. I had to rewrite it 3 times so that the inscriptions were legible :P

Great post topic!! :)

Reminds me of the last time I wrote a hand letter…. into the second paragraph my hand was sore :)

Seriously, much easier to type, text, email or talk but much more meaningful if handwritten! Serious all most do these days with B-Cards etc. is sign their name or send an e-card haha!!

Oh times do change don’t they?

Wait… aren’t we writing right now? the paper disappeared, but not the language :)

Anyway, Wherever I go I almost always take a pen and paper to write down any ideas that may pop in mind. It’s alot more intuitive than using a computer to write down things quickly.

Later on I may organize the doodles on paper to actual excel sheets or pdfs.

But nothing beats pen+paper :D ...yet

I use MindjetMindmanager to organize notes taken the old fashion way! :) You are right though, there is nothing like taken hand notes.. much quicker to capture concepts and fluid ideas!

The old fashioned pen and paper style is dying – even the way we write is changing, with texting we’ve developed a new shorthand. I tend to write everyday – I journal all my doodles and ideas and I have a prayer journal which is kind of overflowing at the moment. (But my handwriting is scruffy enough to make a teacher balk)

You know I have found these http://www.moleskine.com/ to be the only notepads I use anymore… whether sketching or taking notes at a conference or whatever…. they are great and durable. I usually get the cheaper smaller pack of 5 that come bundled together and as I fill them up they go on the bookshelf…. Hard to find good notebooks these days :)

use the very same brand :) I never quite gave up on classical writing… although I would rather type anything in class on my trusty laptop (goes MUCH faster, and slightly tidier)
