My grandfather had a highly artistic script, and yes, it was hard to read. Typewriters may have dulled our eyes to the beautiful curls and swirls of yesteryear.Davalyn Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07790903623368896086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-8470537153562997772019-06-17T13:13:35.264-04:002019-06-17T13:13:35.264-04:00I've always said God invented typewriters (and...I've always said God invented typewriters (and then the computer) because no one could read anyone's handwriting. That's certainly the case with me. In the past, handwriting was taught, and my father had gorgeous handwriting. He bemoaned the fact that the skill was not passed on in the schools.

I took typing way back in Jr. High, and that skill is probably why I'm a writer today. I don't think I'd have the patience to write a book by hand. I used to own an old Remington.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-20624857306963328672019-06-17T08:43:24.454-04:002019-06-17T08:43:24.454-04:00Hahaha, Connie.
