    I write with pen and paper all the time. Because I'm paranoid, there are no login IDs or passwords on any computer I use. I have a "little black book" for each of my businesses and personal accounts with all that info in it plus any other information I refuse to store electronically.

    I haven't used pen for a while now and when I used it to fill a form yesterday, my handwriting's awful.

    YES! I don't have a good handwriting way back when I was still in school but now, Oh My Goodness!!! LOL My hands shake when I try to write. Guess we all need to practice writing using a pen and paper again.

    Yeah, I have to admit I'm in the same boat. I can print "ok" but my cursive is gone.

    I also find that I can't spell very well when writing but my fingers seem to be much better when typing... go figure.

    This happens to me sometimes. Especially after I've spent a few weeks without writing.

    Spelling and legibility are down the toilet!
