Cynthia has posted the 6th Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper at the Journaling Arts blog, here is a snippet of one of the posts:
In Defense of Handwriting (plus tips!) | Happenchance
Why Have Good Handwriting?
Besides assisting my admittedly puny mind, I would also argue that good penmanship increases the usefulness and impact of whatever I write. If I’m taking notes on some topic, and I take the time to make the notes look decent, I get a lot more out of the notes and feel less resistance to go back and reread them.
Writing neatly will initially take a few moments longer, but it will save time if and when you need to read over what you’ve written. If you’re typing something you’ve written by hand but struggling to decipher the words, squinting, struggling, turning the paper upside down, you’re spending a lot of extra time. Had you written a little slower initially, reading what you had written would be far simpler.
Bookmark that carnival page, there is a lot of great information there. (My own contribution is here Pen, Pencil & Paper – a pen review)
