Would anyone be interested in starting up an Agora Road pen pal program? This would be for exchanging handwritten letters via the mail. Anonymity/privacy is an obvious concern, but I think it would be possible to do everything via post office boxes. They're relatively inexpensive to rent, at least in the US, and I would be willing to put up with the expense for the chance to exchange letters with some of you guys. The topic came up in another thread, and I decided to throw out the idea and see what everyone else thought of it. Let me know what you think. Good idea or bad idea?
This thread is also dedicated to anything handwritten or having to do with handwriting: letters, journals, notebooks, scrapbooks, postcards, handwriting methods and styles, pens, stationery, etc. What kind of handwritten things are you interested in?
I've kept a handwritten journal off and on for the past three years. It's nothing fancy, just a way to keep track of my thoughts and get some writing practice. I use a fountain pen (a cheap disposable Pilot) for completely practical reasons. My arm gets tense really quickly when I'm writing, and the fact that you don't have to press as hard with a fountain/gel pen helps a lot. I also find it much easier to get any kind of writing done when I'm not in front of a screen filled with distractions.
