introducing “The Write Way”

June 12, 2019 By Carol

“If you can’t write it yourself, then get someone else to write a letter for you.”                  -Willie Perdomo This one sentence could be the mission statement for my fledgling new business- The Write Way. If people can’t write those thank you notes themselves for whatever reason, be […]

Gift Ideas: Carol’s picks

November 29, 2013 By Carol

November 29, 2013 One passionate letter writer I met told me that she always makes a gift of thank you notes.  Isn’t that a WONDERFUL idea?  One always has good reason to be grateful for some kindness.  Perhaps you need to thank the person, people who cooked that delicious  meal you enjoyed yesterday. Thank you […]

The handwriting of The Declaration of Independence

July 4, 2012 By Carol

July 4, 2012 This holiday gives me  a perfect opportunity to discuss the lovely handwriting behind The Declaration of Independence.  Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft.  Corrections were made by Adams and Franklin and then the document was passed on to Timothy Matlack to engross. Timothy Matlack  (1730-1829) was a delegate to The Continental Congress […]

How to Choose a Pen, Part I

September 12, 2010 By Carol

September 12,2010 Choosing a pen that feels “just right in your hand” is actually more challenging than it sounds.  Most stores have pens entombed in plastic, or locked behind glass.  If you get lucky enough to actually get your hands on a fountain pen, it will most likely not have ink.  Lovely catalogs tease us […]
