Often, I prefer analog writing in my Moleskine notebook, particularly with a Papermate Flair M Felt-Tip Pen. When recently explaining to Amy why I enjoyed it so much, I had a realization: I type around 120 words per minute at my peak, which means that my typing often leaps my brain’s ability to come up with sufficient words to write. Creative writing often ends up being a choppy, overly calculated process. I especially love this particular pen for its dynamic writing feel, but something about it feels artful. Due to penmanship being inherently slower than typing, it creates a constant flow. One sentence moving seamlessly to the next without interruption, so writing seems to come out… differently. I’ll use this category to post a series of hand-written ramblings from my Moleskine journal, unedited, word for word.
