Thinking with a pen
Ok I finally succeed to post during this busy period.
I have been working this morning on my thesis. The pen in one hand, being concentrated on my paper: I thought to write this post (obviously I was not so concentrated haha).
Let’s focus on handwriting. Sometimes it is really inspiring to forget the computer and start thinking with nothing else but a paper and a pen… feeling the paper, hearing the pen scratching the paper, crossing out some words, writing some others… just being thinking.
I really need that to stand back from my life and take a time to think. In fact, I never read back my notes; it would be really difficult to read it back anyway. The act of thinking on paper is something that I just find rewarding.
As my friend JP told me, paradox: “You are blogging about writing with a pen.”

Even if we think that we are more connected with our thoughts when writing on computer because of the quickness of the execution, it seems that in reality, we losing a part of our personality with this technique.

You’re really tracing your mind on a paper when you writing with your hands. I’m doing it more often these days and I can say it’s true.
Even in design, designer who are sketching by hands before are more incline to produce intense and sensible design.
