Sometimes, it is good to get back to the basics. Ivory © has
been selling their soap using a version of that by-line for
well over 100 years. Sometimes, it is good to put down
the iPhone © / iPad © / Smartphone © or tablet, and
pick up an old-fashioned pencil and piece of paper.
There is nothing like the feeling of smoothness
when opening a brand new pack of paper. And,
nothing quite compares with a freshly sharpened
pencil, poised above a blank sheet, ready to
create the story we have in our heads.
I don’t recommend using paper and pencil
all the time. It simply is not practical in our
ever-growing world of technology. But, I
would recommend it when we need to
slow down, and let our words flow in
a gentle, cursive flow.

Take some time to
reconnect to the
foundation of writing.
Who knows where it
might lead.
