Intro - Good penmanshape

Time for a Handwriting Workout!

By Campfire Park

Welcome fellow writers!

My name is Cap'n Killivine and you guessed it:

Loneliest pen makes his case

I'm getting into good penmanshape. After years (actually, close to a decade) of doing nothing but hen pecking at a keyboard and texting with my thumbs, I'm back to what I do best -- handwritten letters. Not that I'm where I want to be yet. Getting into good penmanshape takes work!

So what do you say:

Let’s both be writing together friends, me and you.

Time for a Handwriting Workout!

Time for a handwriting workout with Cap’n Killivine. Why? Because in the age of smart phones we’ve all but forgotten the fine art of penning handwritten letters. Do you remember the last time you received a non-bill or non-junk spam in the mail. That’s right, I’m talking about a real bonafide letter from a friend. More than likely its been a long time. And mostly because you’ve spent the past decade texting and emailing each other back and forth. But was there ever a better exercise than handwriting a letter to a friend, by for the writer and the person waiting on the receiving end. That’s where Penmanshape comes into play. A letter can be as rejuvenating as it can be salve for what ails you in life. Granted, a letter will not move mountains, but it can help steer someone, both the writer and the receiver, to a more human level. There’s just something about holding a handwritten letter in your hand. You’ll read over it twice or three times. It’s a gift whenever you get it every time.

I don’t know much, but I’m inclined to spill whatever I do out at the campfire
