Ha! That’s a pretty smart response to the prompt. More effort on the part of the writer – more physical and mental effort – and more effort on the part of the reader too. Now, duck and run because your handwriting will be analysed by graphologists…
Thank you Mara! Having done a very quick check of my own handwriting, it would appear that one possible conclusion is that I may be “emotionally withdrawn” or perhaps even “expressing rebellion”. On balance I think I just have poor handwriting. So back to the (drawing) writing board?
Thank you Lois, it was so hard actually writing with a pen again, although recently I even wrote an actual letter on notepaper with a real ink pen and plan to do so again soon!
I did read this, and enjoyed! I have done similar exercises in the past and was surprised (and a bit scared?) how tiring it was for the hand. That’s really bad, how we are losing this skill. Your post is inspiring, I might get back to do this again, thanks to you!

Intriguing. I also understand that a slight tilt of your writing to the left means a pessimist person. I approve.

Wow, what a humbling response to my scribbling! I wonder what other skills we are losing as we become more and more digital?

A very clever way to respond. Writing on a blank piece of paper instead of the keyboard. This takes the term “free writing” to a new level.

Thank you, it felt very different, and sometimes the old ways were not so bad!

Sometimes being the operative word in my case. I am a fan of the reliable keyboard.

Fair enough and writing is painful by hand!

And very slow too.

generally yes although I have a preference still for my moleskine notebook and pen in meetings… 🙂

not me sir. I type faster than I can write with a pen. Give up the pen and pencil a long time ago.
