Don’t Doubt Yourself – #PowerToThePen Entry

I’ve recently been participating in #BlogChat on twitter and came across an interesting idea that’s going on: the #PowerToThePen campaign.  Basically, the task is for bloggers to write a post using good old fashioned pen and paper, and then post a picture of the blog instead of typing it up as you normally would.  I chose to write an open letter to my younger self (14 years old). I have to say – even after all of these years of typing for practically all forms of written communication, pen and paper still feels the most natural for “true” writing.

    Eric love the post, and love your point about trusting your judgement! I finally learned this one as well, I think we all need trial and error to get there! Great stuff!

    Thanks, Mack. Trusting my judgement is still a work in progress for me. I know I should be doing it but executing that concept is sometimes easier said than done!
