Yes, I forgot a period somewhere up there. English majors aren't robots. I also cut off the word 'Twitter'. Don't be mad Twitter.
Let's make this a cool, new blogging thing. Forget the keyboards, bloggers! Pick up your pens! (But you'll probably need a scanner, so don't completely turn your backs on technology.)









I've been seeing this idea pop up in a lot of the places I lurk. I definitely concur that the pen/pencil makes all the difference. My handwriting seems to change on a daily basis, and it vacillates between cursive, printing and some sort of tweaked-out hybrid with cursive and printed letters in even the same word. Yeah. I might do this, too. :)

Yay! for handwritten anything. This is why I love cards, and notes, and cards with notes.
(And I hadn't seen this before! I'm pretty much in love with this idea.)

It's funny because today I blogged about Amelia's handwriting!
We make our "W"s the same. Cute!

This is great! Totally stealing. Although handwriting things is just going to make me think of my wedding and I'll probably start scrawling my address in the post 3437 times, like I did on the back of our invitations. And RSVP cards. And thank you notes. Wait, I got carpal tunnel syndrome just THINKING about that.

Awesome! I'm totally doing this:)
Mine wont be as legible as yours - but I will use a good pen because I absolutely agree about the quality of the writing and the pen are directly linked!

Oh GAWD, Holly has the cutest handwriting ever so now I'm not sure I even WANT to compete even though this idea intrigues me.

I'm loving this! I can't wait to come up with something myself. I have a strange love for handwritten things.

I just finished posting my handwritten post here, about ten minutes before I read this. I even said the same thing about how what writing instrument I'm using affects how my handwriting looks. (Totally crappy with pencil and standard ballpoint pens.)

I saw this on Swistles site and over at Chris Cactus' site and had contemplated playing along. I just might join you.

Yes. My handwriting, while never actually good, is infinitely better when I use a fine tip ball point pen, preferably a black one. Yeah, I know - high maintenance much?

YES my handwriting definitely varies depending on the writing instrument.
Also, you should totally do a stick-figure picture of Kyle.

So fun, and I totally agree that my writing depends on what type of pen I use! It's pretty interesting, but so true! :)

Handwriting TOTALLY depends on the quality of the pen. And, I may try this!

I saw Swistle's post and thought I would do one too. You have inspired me to join in for sure! I'm pretty much a pen whore, and a bit of a snobby one at that. We believe we have discovered the perfect pen in my office, and I will definitely use when I get around to writing my post.
Posted by: Deanna | Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 02:30 PM
I did this too! And as I look at my own post, I think I needed a better pen.
Posted by: nonsoccermom | Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 02:54 PM
Deanna, what pen is it? I must know!
Posted by: She Likes Purple | Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 02:55 PM
This is SO FUN. I had to do it myself. And I was only *slightly* carried away.
Posted by: Dots | Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 03:48 PM
I love your handwriting as does my mommy.
Posted by: Natalie | Thursday, November 05, 2009 at 10:07 PM
That's a fun trend, it gets so much more personal to see someones handwriting, maybe I'll try it sometime:)
