if i'm not on a time crunch, i will always try to hand write the first draft of all my creative writing projects. this makes me take it slower, think more about the words i'm putting down. it also acts as the first round of editing whenever i type it into my computer so i'm one step closer to a finished project. there's some so much more satisfying about being able to look at the progress made on a story that is hand written rather than typed in a computer.
Slows you down to think about what you're communicating. Improves hand strength. Is quite romantic imo. Keeps alive a slowly fading art form. I keep a notebook that only gets cursive text, and I use cursive to write all my notes to friends and lovers. Imbues words with a kind of magical human intention that I definitely feel. As per my example, even cool if you do it messy.
so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
