When did you last write?

I write most days. My husband refuses to use his mobile phone for anything other than calls and the occasional text message and photo. I write him shopping lists, and write down any messages received via phone calls when he's out.
I must also write a birthday card for grandson 1 who is 15 today.

Thinking about it, most of the writing I do these days is in greetings cards or on shopping and ‘to do’ lists. We do pub quizzes once or twice a week, and I’m usually the one writing down the answers, all in capitals though so the marker can read it. I can’t remember the last time I wrote a proper letter. We always send postcards to the grandsons when we go away though - they like the novelty of something addressed to them dropping through the letter.box. It does always seem strange to be actually using my handwriting!

I write a letter a few times a year to an elderly friend and I notice a deterioration in my handwriting each time. Presumably lack of practise and aging. I don’t feel as bad when she writes back and her handwriting looks as spidery as mine 😄

Daily, making notes, lists, drawing diagrams.

Letters less frequently. I have a friend, who after a lifetime designing and implementing computer systems in the defence industry and air traffic control, has gone cold tukey in retirement. She has a mobile phone, I am not sure it is even a smart phone, butno computer, tablet, ipad or anything else, so I now have to write to her.

With a pen or pencil? Most everyday. I love lists.
On the computer, I write three to four hours a day.

I would say in a week i write about 3 times...always notes, (shopping).
I had a friend who corresponded via letter .... he was 90 years old and didnt own a mobile phone. When my husband and myself went to visit him in Torquay while we were on holiday, he showed me to q drawer in his cabinet which had allll the letters i had written him. He loved to receive a letter. He passed away 2 years ago and now i do not write to anyone because everyone uses text, WhatsApp, Messenger or whatever.

I write daily and sometimes with a fountain pen in my journal.

I last wrote about two minutes ago. I keep a daily diary/notebook. Not events so much as thoughts.

I write regularly in my gratitude diary, corny I know😁 Three or more things I’m grateful for. I have always written poetry and keep a special book for that. Regular postcards to family, I enjoy writing them and prefer writing to the telephone. I’m in the wrong age…
Written lists, as if a note is made on my phone, somehow it’s not real and Im likely to forget it.

i wrote to a friend a couple of weeks ago in response to her letter to me.
I am always writing shopping and to do lists and i also wrote letter to my GP about medication as it had to be written not phoned in.
Yes my writing is not what it use to be sadly.

I keep a diary, write down recipes, makes lists and draw most days.. I love receiving letters and cards but it happens less and less nowdays

I write all the time.
My memory is shocking, and if I dont write things down, I just forget.

I keep a notebook for occasional thoughts and quotations, poems etc. My handwriting is not what it was but at least I can still do it!

I treasure a cache of letters to and from late DH which form a wonderful snapshot of the people we once were and which I hope DGD will one day value.

I only write cards nowadays.

Daily - I have a Diary. Kept one for years, but these days there’s not much to write about. Went shopping, went shopping , went shopping 😂

Earlier today, diary, then notebook of things to do this week and rough menu for the week.

I write lists and memory joggers. Apart from that just birthday/Christmas cards

Almost daily
Diary, notes from marking, comments on children’s, work, and notes on cards. I don’t write lengthy letters much any more though.

Always write shopping lists and birthdays cards. Wrote to John Lewis credit card company yesterday asking for a higher limit, they halved it when they took over from previous company. According to Experian my credit rating is the best you can have.

I am a dedicated list writer so everyday. We also do 2 crosswords daily.

Yesterday I wrote thank you cards to two regular customers who had very kindly given me retirement gifts. On work days I wrote screeds in the handover diary.

I write lists daily and jot down notes when taking phone calls.

I have pens and paper scattered all around the house.

I write a page a day journal and have them filed all neatly in order in my study/cum office. So if the police came and asked me where I was on the night of the murder I could tell them approximately what I did. Having said that my handwriting is very difficult to decipher and I tend to write in between and over the lines.

I find it much easier to write on the computer because I can see the words in front of me. Words make patterns on the paper and patterns in the mind. Its not a skill I would want to lose.

Shopping list, birthday card and envelope, reminder chalk board in the kitchen for adding anything we’re running out of.
All within the last day or two.

It’s over 20 odd years ago now, but when I was first facing OU exams (4 essays to write in 3 hours) I was so unused to handwriting anything more than a shopping list, I had to consciously practise writing (legibly!) at length. Which was a tall order, since my handwriting was never great shakes anyway.
My hand actually ached at first!

Occasional greeting card and I write all my lists and reminders on my mobile now.
