Although it might appear as though hand-writing is becoming inessential, it’s one that still is key in numerous areas of life. A written letter conveys more gravitas than a typewritten missive, like an apology, an invitation, or an application for a job.

You may believe it’s a recent fashion of people shunning penmanship and using a computer instead, but way back to the late 1800s, there were that hand-writing was disregarded because of the invention of those times : the typwriter. Nowadays, the charge is being linked to the ubiquitous use of computers.

Yet, there still exists a strong demand for handwriting talent in in every area of day to day life.

During the age of “canned responses”, the penned letter has never been more powerful.

I have an admission to make. I have often been caught red-handed with my own poor hand writing – made worse by decades of relying on the keyboard. In situations where I’ve had to put pen to paper, my writing’s been a sloping scrawl. It doesn’t look good. So how did I get over this problem?How to solve such a problem? I wrote whenever the chance came to do so, and my writing improved greatly. So it’s advisable to improve your penmanship through sheer repitition.

One more point is to find a pen your hand is comfortable with, with refills. A good pen is the renowned mont blanc pen. This allows you to polish your hand-writing with a single pen.
