Remember them? Perhaps you don't, if you're under 20, that we used to write in longhand..yip, everything joined up and stuff!
We even could write in CAPITALS, Italics, or with a really nice Special Pen, in 'olde English' script.

The click-click of a keyboard or SmartScreen may convey emotions, but what can be conveyed when written from the soul, using your body is in a completely different league, and it's a pity it's pretty much a lost art.
I ask all those budding writers out there, to attempt to write a few pages, 'the old way' and see the result.
But, make a effort, in choosing your paper, your instrument, your subject, and the colour...
