It's probably just as well, since my handwriting is terrible.<br /> On the other hand, I can only handwrite poetry. Suspect it is something about the matching the pace of getting the words down to the pace of the mental processes.<br /><br />Good luck and enjoy Delhi.steeleweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077739629921574784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-53194160167430771842009-11-12T16:06:15.645+00:002009-11-12T16:06:15.645+00:00Yay for your writing speaking to you.

(copyright T Pratchett) How wonderful, congratulations!<br /><br />I've just rediscovered longhand - maybe it's just the change of scene, but I find it's making me concentrate more and the story actually flows (rather than me having to squeeze the dry old bones of every word till blood flows).Gillian Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775401199564200537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-60420904131104063632009-11-11T16:56:03.333+00:002009-11-11T16:56:03.333+00:00Thank you for putting that thought into my head.
