The Art of Writing: When the Pen Replaces the Laptop or Tablet
In an age dominated by digital devices, where typing on a laptop or tapping on a tablet is normal, the humble pen often finds itself relegated to occasional note-taking or signing documents, or the occasional Christmas card, yet the act of writing by hand is far from obsolete. In fact, it offers a unique set of benefits, both practical and creative, that digital methods can seldom replicate. This article explores the art of writing when the pen replaces the laptop or tablet, examining its impact on creativity, mindfulness, and the writing process itself.
Putting Pen to Paper
I am considered what the vast majority of people might call an inveterate fountain pen user, and as with anything a person has a passion for, you need the correct tools to optimise your experience.
