The slower flow of the pen and maybe the different appearance of the final words on the page changes the content and style. I know I should experiment more with this. Thanks for the reminder about trying new (old) things.Andromeda Romano-Laxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988887975016816552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996753044552511588.post-79332009860323785392011-10-10T20:08:53.472-08:002011-10-10T20:08:53.472-08:00Kris,

We both, however, write longhand, using the back of bank statements, solicitations, invitations, or just about any blank paper we can get our hands on. In part our approach has to do with our remote setting and not wanting to run down our battery bank by having the computer on more than necessary; partly it is our age (yes, we are even older than you); and partly it is a resistance to succumb to the all-digital age. I think there’s an intimacy in using paper and ink that computers can’t provide, just as looking at natural light is so much easier on the eyes than a harsh white screen. <br />Anne CorayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
