Although it may seem like penmanship is becoming inessential, it’s one that is still today crucial in numerous walks of life. A written missive communicates more importance than a typed missive; for example an apology, an invitation, or an application for a job.
One may think it’s a recent fad of people shunning hand writing and using a computer instead, but as far back as the late 1800s, there were that hand-writing was being disregarded due to the typewriter. Nowadays, the blame is being linked to the use of computers.
Nonetheless, there is still a healthy need for penmanship ability in academia and the business world. Hand written missives are considered as more honest, they evince the writer has carefully thought out her words, while demonstrating more deference to the reader. During the era of templated responses, the penned letter has never been more potent.
I have an admission to make here. I’ve oftentimes been caught out with my own bad penmanship - made even worse due to years of relying on the keyboard. In situations in which I’ve had to put pen to paper, my words have been a sloping scrawl. That’s just not professional. So how did I overcome this problem?How to resolve such an issue? I handwrote more often, and my handwriting greatly improved. So it’s smart to polish your hand writing through sheer repitition.
One more point is to acquire a pen you are comfortable with, with refills. A great pen is the better-known mont blanc ballpoint pen. This allows you to better your style with the same pen.
