... you write homework during your school days? I must admit that I am a perfectionist when it comes to writing, either on my notebooks not only doing homework before. The result is I got good handwriting up to this day. Lately, I sometimes write my personal phrases or quotes daily. Are you like me? Do you still write with a pen and paper?

When I bother to write anything on paper, I print it. All in caps... I have no problem with that. Other people might complain because my printing is roughly the same size as a typewriter types. I CAN write larger than that but unless I concentrate on writing everything large, the size of the letters goes back to small after a few words. *shrug* Most of the time I write everything into Notepad in my phone.

I honestly feel more relaxed when typing using modern gadgets than writing in a notebook.

@DaddyEvil I also do the same thing. I am still looking for a nice notebook to write my quotes or phrases.

@Shavkat If the pages are loose, I'm liable to throw them away because I don't like loose paper lying around... Things I type into my phone stick around.

I write very quickly on the paper,i won't write the words very carefully.As long as i can reconginze them,that's fine. But in some ways,i'm a perfectionist.On the poetry and personal hygiene,i always will try to make myself clear and make my poetry perfect.Sometimes,i'll be sleepless.It's a torture,but it's also the price if you really wanna be somebody

I do believe that it is difficult to write Chinese characters. That includes the calligraphy, right?

My handwriting is really bad. Some say I write like a doctor. Sometimes, It's only me who can understand what I have written. I tend to do shorthand - my own way - too. lol. I tend to be a perfectionist at home though. I want everything to be in their proper places. and not one item out of place.

It sounds like you are a principal in the house. If I do not want others to read my notes, I write them in Russian characters.

I love writing. I still keep a diary or a journal.

I still write with pen and paper--though, mostly with pencil, so that I can erase mistakes.

When I was in high school and university days, I take notes with a mechanical pen. It was also the same reason. For my quotes or phrases, I prefer a black pen. So that it will not be erased and passed on to the next generation.

@Shavkat When I go to the grocery store or run errands I write with pen and paper things I need to do.

@Shavkat I find it easier to write it down than go to the computer and type it. I just have to be able to read my writing.

I do occasionally although I normally type. My mother and grandmother had the most beautiful handwriting. Mine is not that good though. I used to do shorthand and it makes you scrawl when you write just to get the speed.

It would be easier to write with pen and paper instead of putting the fingers in the wrong place on the keyboard and making a mess of what I'm writing. I try to be a perfectionist with my writing. I know I'm not and still have a lot to learn, but knowing I'm doing my best makes me happy.
