Man, I remember why I didn't like doing term papers. Lines through words, tiny scribbles, arrows from one spot to another. Haah. <br /><br />Typed up those pages which turned out to be a smaller number. I was feeling so proud of myself. 15 hand written = 4 typed. <br /><br />I have two styles of handwriting, rough drafting and turn in quality.Mildred R Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859939075587298735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-57736798920955941832014-08-29T13:01:44.563-05:002014-08-29T13:01:44.563-05:00My handwriting is reasonably legible.

He then pays someone to type them up, though I would do it for free.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-89018895546706350812014-08-29T09:49:43.756-05:002014-08-29T09:49:43.756-05:00D.G.:

It always amazes me how much of a written page a scene takes on paper when it is but a blip on the computer screen. <br /><br />I pray your husband is doing much better. Thank goodness for the internet. In the past, we were left in the dark with our medical problems.<br /><br />My face is healing well now. And I am wearing my Stetson fedora to work (Aussie style)!<br /><br />Elephant's Child:<br />My right eye fluctuates in how good its vision is, so I've taken to using the trick John Ford, and blocking the right lens of my glasses as I am doing writing this.<br /><br />The eye doctor doesn't have a clue to what is going on. Sigh.<br /><br />As the years progress, it seems our bodies delight in robbing us of what we once took for granted.<br /><br />I am sorry to hear of your loss of fine motor skill. MS is something else to live with. My Stetson's off to you for doing it so elegantly. You are right: condolences and letters of love have to be hand-written! :-)<br /><br />Thanks for taking time to comment. It means so much to me.Roland D.

Love letters and condolence messages leap to mind.<br />How if your poor face going?Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-75331154729961232522014-08-29T00:01:01.405-05:002014-08-29T00:01:01.405-05:00I've usually resorted to handwriting when I wa...I've usually resorted to handwriting when I want to slow down my thinking about a scene or a new chapter. Handwriting seems to be a dying art. Except for book signing, when only a handwritten signature will do. <br /><br />In addition, I'm also researching brain functions to better know what I'm dealing with medically. There is a lot that is NOT known about the brain and it's interactions and processes.<br /><br />Hope you're all better now and wearing a hat.D.G.
