  • Trying to understand the question, I’ll try my best.

    I don’t really write except for out of necessity at work, maybe taking occasional notes, and writing my meal plans and grocery lists. Most of that is not by hand except for the meal plans on a whiteboard on the fridge.

    My mind says what I want to write, slowly enough for my hand to keep up. If I’m typing on a keyboard then it’s closer to a natural speaking speed. My mind doesn’t really wander because I’m either too focused on the physical handwriting, or whizzing through typing up an email.

    I don’t really pay attention to how it looks in the moment, but always notice when I’m done writing by hand that it looks almost exactly like it did when I was 5 years old and first learned to write. Bonus if a few letters or words turned out looking accidentally more adult-written, but it’s a fluke. I do pay attention when typing and catch typos in real time, then correct them when I’m done the sentence.

    Writing isn’t my outlet. I have other things for that.

    Ergonomics aren’t usually a thought unless I was writing something long by hand, which is rare since finishing school.










  • Pardon me for checking your post history, but I noticed you’ve posted in the Canada community and therefore you might be Canadian. Is it possible you’ve been eating more local fruit this year due to boycotts? I wonder if there’s some relation.

    I noticed my Ontario blueberries were very sweet this year, compared to the imported ones I’ve had in the past that could be somewhat bitter or tart. I have no evidence if this is a reason why they’re sweeter though, I’m just guessing.
