There has been a lot written recently about handwriting with some commentators questioning if it will become obsolete in the next few years. Gaby Hinsliff, writing in the Guardian on February 27th, considered whether handwriting was necessary anymore. She suggested that most people write directly onto a computer, tablet or smartphone. I find it liberating to write a first draft in this book. I love the feel of the pen touching the page, moving along and creating patterns that communicate, even if it's only communicating my thoughts back to me at a later date.
