Otherwise, they're pretty much lost to me. I've always wondered what my most-rushed scribbles would say about me to a capable handwriting analyst ....Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401873777944815512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-24777223381482342992014-08-27T13:09:12.153-05:002014-08-27T13:09:12.153-05:00What April said!

I have to go over them right away after a talk I've listened to & redo them in hand-print.<br />For a phone message or anything like that at the get-go I have to hand-print. And I love pencils, pens, crayons, colored pencils. Something about the hand moving smoothly across a great variety of papers. I love paper too much, too, I guess.<br />My leisure note-taking is my best when reading a book or in the library or taking notes from the internet & I can take time to hand-print & underline, make boxes, swirls around the notes etc.<br />As for composing in longhand, I would have said no way but once when I had eye surgery & couldn't bear a computer screen, I created an entire picture book of poems riffing on hats in longhand. Not saying they are anything more than fun, but it made me feel so good to still be writing.<br /><br />I didn't know about the computer separation for EH & as I think my cranky one is headed that way, I can imagine what a weird time that was.<br /><br />As usual, I'v written too much!<br />It's always cool to visit with the TAs.jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-68636212844249942692014-08-26T10:24:18.819-05:002014-08-26T10:24:18.819-05:00Oh, Penny, you made me snort my V-8 at the picture...Oh, Penny, you made me snort my V-8 at the picture of you hurrying past pens to find the exactly-right pencil. <br />Marti, glad you liked it. :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401873777944815512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-49307998922436672412014-08-26T09:27:16.472-05:002014-08-26T09:27:16.472-05:00Picturing you in all white ala Emily Dickinson cra...Picturing you in all white ala Emily Dickinson cracked me up, Jill. And I think you're the first TA to mention dictation as a writing method, so you've expanded the options I originally considered!<br />And Penny, love your comment:<br />"Penny is picky about her pencils!" <br />:-) Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-4070297139603369952014-08-26T07:40:03.471-05:002014-08-26T07:40:03.471-05:00This series of posts has been so much fun to read....This series of posts has been so much fun to read. I prefer the keyboard for sure. It's so much faster to get my ideas down before they slip away. <br />I will jot notes on any sort of paper available or dictate into my iPhone if I'm out walking or don't have paper. <br />But when jotting, I want a pencil. I will pass six pens in my house while repeating a line just to find a pencil. Basically, I love lead. But NOT dull lead! So, it needs to be a mechanical pencil, preferably with a cushioned grip! <br />What can I say?
