The Cash Trio

Although it may appear like handwriting is becoming inessential, it’s a skill that still is primary in many areas of life. A written letter imparts more importance than a typed letter; e.g. an invitation, an apology, or an application for a job.

One might believe it’s a recent fad of people eschewing penmanship and using a computer instead, but way back to the late 1800s, there were complaints that hand writing was being overlooked due to the invention of those times : the typwriter. Nowadays, the blame is being connected to the ubiquitous utilization of computer keyboards.

However, there is still a healthy need for penmanship talent in both the business world and academia. Penned letters are seen as far more authentic, they show the author has deliberated over her words, while demonstrating more respect to the recipient. During this modern era of letter templates, the hand-written missive has never been more powerful.

I must admit to something. I’ve oftentimes been caught red-handed with my own bad penmanship – made even worse due to decades of reliance on my computer keyboard. In situations where I’ve had to put pen to paper, my writing’s been almost illegible at times. That’s just not professional. What did I do? I wrote as often as I could, and my handwriting improved greatly. Therefore it’s smart to improve your penmanship through sheer repitition.

One more tip is to find a pen you are comfortable with, and it must accept refills. Recommended pens to refill with include the notable mont blanc fountain pens. This allows you to better your penmanship with a single pen.
