20. Keith Grinsted - I've written poetry, articles, blogs, ebooks, reference books, all sorts. And it all started with handwriting. Oh and I still use a handwritten bullet journal!

Handwriting & You!

Keith Grinsted
Energiser

Passionate about well-being and dealing with loneliness whether living alone or working or running a business alone.

As The Energiser I help small businesses deal with the challenges of the new reality we live in.

As a freelance business writer I write ebooks, articles, and blogs on a range of business topics.

I also ghostwrite for business owners.
​Speaks About

• Writing by hand allows the writer much more freedom of expression.
  
• When you have a blank sheet of paper and a pen, or a pencil, you can write in any direction.
  
• You can write upwards, sideways, or downwards. However your mood and your thinking take you.
  
• You can be as creative as you want to be. You can add drawings, diagrams, doodles whatever you want.
  
• With a computer screen you can only use the characters available to you on the keyboard, and you can only type in straight lines left to right.
  
• There's little scope for creativity. It's very constraining.
  
• Many of the ebooks I've written over the years started out as handwritten notes.
  
• Sometimes even written in full in long hand. Then typed up later.
  
• I use mind maps a lot of the time. To create order to my thoughts, and even to use as an aide memoire when when being interviewed for TV or radio.
  
• I started off as an avid reader when I was little. Then became a prolific writer.
