This is my fourth year to blog on National Handwriting Day about the event and finds me sharing two new penmanship videos and a resource page from among the emails in my inbox today. One new video is by Goldspot Pens, and the other by Jet Pens. Furthermore, Write_On has a resource page for suggestions on who to write while at the same time getting to practice your penmanship.
If you are new to my blog, you may not be familiar with National Handwriting Day.
From my 2016 and 2017 post – “the unofficial holiday was established in 1977 by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association. The day January 23 was chosen because of it being John Hancock’s birthday and because he was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence.”
From 2018 – “… you will want to check out the Campaign for Cursive… In addition, over at Stationery Matters, “… these ideas of what to write about today: “Craft a note. Draft a letter. Transcribe your thoughts. Practice your signature.” Lastly, their article concludes with linking over to pencilsandpens.org…”
