That people could be so passionate about cursive handwriting? My new post at Merc went up only yesterday and it's garnered 8 comments so far (frankly, I didn't expect any). And thank you, Mrs. Schmaltz (may she rest in peace). She taught me cursive in grade 2, and a fine job she did of it.

There is nothing like writing cursive with a fine fountain pen. Sheaffer has forever earned my goodwill by replacing, free of charge, the nib from a pen I received more than ten years ago. And they included four cartridges of ink! They also make Bics, which is the only pen Mr. B. will use.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall Mrs. Schmaltz teaching me cursive, too, when she became a substitute in later years. No doubt I can also thank her for my fine schoolteacher's hand.
When one uses cursive, each word is a miniature work of art. And, since I am trying to become a writer, words are my art in every sense. I wonder if God implants in every writer's heart a love for the physical act of writing?
Yes he must. I guess I can now safely admit that I do cursive just for the joy of it. Names, lists, birthdays, the months of the year, the days of the week, scripture verses, random phrases. Just for the beauty of it.
