I will make it my Reading Journal with the books I will read throughout the year. It will last for much longer this way and will help me organize, optimize my reading. <br /><br />Yes, there are certainly merits. The nostalgia is one aspect I also enjoy feeling from the whole experience. There is a special sort of connection once you sit down to write by hand.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532015897568050849.post-23925024284977365042009-12-12T16:01:03.762+02:002009-12-12T16:01:03.762+02:00I love botanical themes, too.

The problem for me is, they're often so beautiful I don't feel what I write is worthy of being recorded within the pages. <br /><br />When I think of the masters who wrote in ages past, Tolstoy and Dickens come to mind first, didn't they work by hand? I think there are merits of that method that word processors cannot touch. Like you said, at least your thoughts don't run away with you before your hand can get them down.<br /><br />We have one computer in our home, too, but fortunately I don't need it that much as I have no aspirations of being a writer. I can't even leave as many comments on bogs as I'd like to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
