How frequently do you find yourself writing or printing?
- Not very often. At work I scratch a lot of out with a pencil but at home I write (as a playwright) on my macbook.
Do you enjoy writing?
- Writing, as in the act of cursive? No. In fact, ready for this, I NEVER LEARNED. I'm not terrible at it; my signature is fascinating though.
How do you feel about the quality of your cursive?
-Not great. haha.
Are you bothered by others' penmanship?
- Occasionally, but I recognize that I'm no better.
Did you have to take an assigned penmanship course?
- Nope. One of the first years not to in my part of the world. I was also the first year that grade six was cut out. the first to have enforced kindergarden. We were the guinea pigs for the state of education in New Brunswick.
At what age did you stop focusing on your writing legibility?
- Very early, if at all. I know that little things have changed in my printing stylistically. My lower case A's turned from those "d"-styled a's to the one's you see here [a]. My uppercase E's are more in the style of a C. etc.
Have you trained yourself in caligraphy or other artsy writing forms?
- I used to play with them, but like most things I've "attempted" in my life I gave it up pretty fast.
Do you feel that handwriting is a dying art?
- Yes and no. I think there is some sort of anti-progression movement in art right now. At the same time, digital is the new signature. People hack systems instead of training their hand to forge signatures. I do believe there is a need for people with "old fashioned" skills. Those skills are usually universal and not dependent on the million variables that come with technology.
