Write-O!

I'm not usually a big meme gal, but I keep seeing this fun little handwriting meme around blogland and I enjoy seeing it each time, so I figured it's high time I join in the fun. The meme originated here. I first saw it here, and most recently here. It's simple. Write out a pangram, sign it, then post a picture of it. I think I can handle that!

Handwriting fascinates me. I'm not a handwriting analyst or anything, but I do kind of think one's handwriting is indicative of one's personality, to a certain extent. (Don't ask me for specific examples, because I don't have any.) I think I also find handwriting fascinating because I am a writer. I enjoy writing. Both the physical action handwriting something, and writing as a hobby. (At one point, I actually thought I wanted to be a writer. But that was a long time ago, and I digress...) I've enjoyed writing ever since I was 3 or 4 when my grandma taught me how to write in print and in cursive. I still have fond memories of us sitting together and me practicing my letters on that newsprint paper, the kind with the two bold lines and the dotted lines across the middle. :)

I still write. All the time. It's been a while since I've written any short stories but I'll still bust out an occasional poem here and there. Sometimes I leave little notes for B before I leave in the morning (I discovered that he actually keeps these, I saw some when we moved). I write oodles of notes to myself, and lists galore. They're everywhere- strewn across my desk, on the kitchen counter, in my bag(s). I still write and send cards and letters. And I still use an old-school day book (no palm pilot or Blackberry here). I do a lot of work on the computer, but I think I will always still write. It's just in me.
