And we are ALL writers, are we not?
You may have already read my thoughts about writing by hand. If not, keep reading! :-D
In short, I mainly discuss how C.S. Lewis disliked using a typewriter because of the noise. He prefered pen and ink! Well, our keyboards are quieter than early typewriters to be sure (though, I find vintage typewriters quite nostalgic). Nevertheless, whether you are journaling in a notebook, banging away on a laptop (or a vintage typewriter), I believe writing is good for the soul. It helps me think about what I truly mean to say.
And you do not need to be good at it, friend! Though, we will all get better with practice. In any case, just ignore the grammar alarmists in comments sections and WRITE. Please don’t misunderstand me. Grammar is important, especially in certain situations such as writing an academic paper or a news article. However, the fear of grammar can scare us from the beauty of writing. Don’t let that happen to you, my friend! Just pick up that lovely pen (or laptop) and have a go!
Much like C.S. Lewis, I do love writing with a dip pen and ink. It is more challenging; however, it slows me down so I can think. Moreover, there is no distraction from emails, texts, or media. In our fast-paced world, it doesn’t hurt to slow down a wee bit. And if you would like a tote bag to remind you, this one features me sitting on some books. If you didn’t already know, I am a wren! More on that story in future posts. My best human friend, Eleanor, painted this picture of me in watercolor. I hope it encourages you today!
Happy writing!

PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Shipping and Processing: There is no charge for shipping. The average shipping times in the U.S. are about 8-11 business days. This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
Returns policy: All sales are final; however, if we made a mistake or the item arrived damaged, please contact us immediately. We want to make it right. Thank you so much!
*Please note: The fonts on this tote bag are slightly different from the fonts on the mug and shirts for writers, as they are produced by different manufacturers. I do plan to design the 100% organic cotton version of this tote bag, which will match the mug and shirts exactly, for those who would prefer it, so please visit us again. Thank you so much for your patience and God bless!!
