Handwriting

I love the learning/pleasure values of calligraphy. I handwrite study notes and more, including letters (old-days mail, not e-mail). Mostly with fountain pens.

I fell in love with Zettelkasten, and wonder what share of followers handwrite their notes, in the original Luhmann way.

  • I shift back and forth as needed. I use analog slip notes for more exploratory processing and digital tools for more polished writing.

    I'm not sure what the percentage is, but I'd guess no more than 20% (that's the engineer in me, wanting to estimate on the basis of a very small sample set). But you will find there is a vigorous and healthy discussion by those with paper ZK on this forum.

  • I'm a fan of the haptics of handwriting, and enjoy the occasional calligraphy project myself. I get my fix elsewhere, though; in the Zettelkasten, I'm happy with typing :)

    Do share some cool pens if you like, though! We haven't had any fountain pen porn here, yet
