Writing - Briallen

Memories of learning to write…


I remember sitting in class with my thick, easy-to-hold pencils spending hours tracing over the dotted lines of letters that took up two big lines of the page.



My writing skills now change on a daily basis. I find that because my work involves typing to much, that my hand will ache after I write for too long. And the position of my wrist changes the entire style of my writing.

I have at least 3 different styles, but most are very neat. The best one I call my OCD writing, which is when I write slowly almost artistically, creating each letter on the page. If you read an entire page, its quite squished together but perfectly neat to the point it becomes quite hypnotising.



I am a very quick ‘typer’ and ‘texter’. I find that electronic writing is much more efficient for me and I can type accurately at around 80-90 words a minute.

With writing I prefer to write slowly. I get frustrated with things such as quick moving classes, which require brief messy notes. I enjoy being able to write slowly and neatly. However, I tend to just scribble what I need to down in things such as lectures, then go back and re write it in a neater form.


My only struggle with blog posting is that I want to write too much. I find that when I really think about learning to write I discover past memories, which had faded until they almost didn’t exist.
