Today is National Handwriting Day! And while it doesn’t mean that we have a day off, as a journalist, it’s still important to me.  Using a pen and paper to write and create ideas has been the foundation of many great works.

According to David Baker, executive director of the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association, “Though computers and email play an important role in our lives, nothing will ever replace the sincerity and individualism expressed through the handwritten word,” the International Business Times reported.

In honor of this day, Penguin Random House asked its followers to tweet their favorite quotes (hand-written, of course)! Friends and family of mine have decided to share some of their favorites with you, too!
