I love writing letters and I noticed how no one writes anymore. So you know what, I thought it'd make a great story idea. I’m actually writing an article on this for my highschool newspaper.

Since I was graduated in College as an IT student and got work, I didn't use my hand in writing instead of typing and now what is the result? My typing are more faster than my hand writing. That's the effect if you always have a typing than writing. I really enjoy this. :) THanks After reading with your blog, I tried to test my hand writing and guess what I discovered?

Very much a lost art. And yes, it is art. No spellcheck, no erasures. Freeflow. How many can really flow, freestyle, just letting it out. And commit it to paper. And one's penmanship is so unique. No /s/ or lol or :-). Maybe an extra cross of the "t" or a descript underscore. So important to, not just relearn the art, but to share it. Seve Very cool. Very much a lost art. And yes, it is art.

I loved hearing your story about your pen pal. I had a few of those that lasted a pretty long time growing up. <br><br>I read the article I linked to a few times here in this post about comparing the eras and not just letters, but the written word and how this affects history, and I knew I had to write something. I was so surprised at the response from everyone! It was even a post that was a draft for a longtime and I forgot to publish because I thought it had all been said - but it obviously resonated with a lot of people. Maybe letter writing isn't completely gone :) Thanks for sharing! @Cooper I just read it – it's beautiful. I loved hearing your story about your pen pal.

If I recall the emails correctly, there are still a large number of us who are carrying on some semblance of a tradition in that regard.

It's not weird at all - I have all my love letters stashed away and even with ex-boyfriends, I will not throw them away. They mean a lot.
