Can you use a pen?

In IT nobody talks about this, if you haven’t wrote anything what happens to your hand writing!?

I tried to write something on my whiteboard, no spellcheck no copy paste and the handwriting was awful.

Have a lovely week all

Yes, I have a moleskine and I love to write on paper.

I don't usually write the actual article, because it feels like duplicate work to write down on paper and then copy it in a digital form.

On the other hand, it's perfect for sketching out article ideas, having a rough outline, brainstorming on article titles, ...

Paper is the ultimate distraction-free smartphone app.

Those Chinese people are great inventors.

Fun fact: the catholic church prevented paper to spread in Europe for centuries because they felt that only animal skin was noble enough to receive the word of God.

Pro-tip: once I'm done, I take a picture of the paper thing and send it to a whatsapp/telegram group for easy retrieval, this way the information is easily available everywhere.

Oh I love moleskin, I used to have a few back in my artist days. Have you seen those paper tablet things I forget the name looks like paper but it’s a tablet.

I send stuff via WhatsApp to my partner to annoy her, it’s a two for one.
