Thanks for all the replies; I guess we'll see if it makes a difference. I only started writing again on May 27th, so I haven't gotten anything back as yet. The last time I wrote to someone was back in November -- Patty McCormack -- and she even responded with a hand-written note to my type-written letter saying how nice it was.

Hand {up} but my handwritng is aweful too. So what I try to do is treat my letters like a drawing, i.e. I draw my letters out...making sense? For some reason I can draw letters out nicely than I can write them normally :neutral:

I used to type because I've had many hand injuries (fractures even!) and besides that my handwriting is just really weak. But I found that most people did not really reply and so I began writing but it also may have to do with the fact that I'm more savvy on sending postage and stuff, plus a bit older. I always apologize for my handwriting unless I'm having a "good" day and it looks alright.

I handwrite. I just don't think typed letters look as nice as handwritten! It's just a personal thing for me :)

Years ago (before I had a computer) I used to handwrite everything. Now it's all type written.

I send handwritten letters all the time. Aside from it being more personal, I simply like creating my mails the traditional way. I'm an amateur artist and I like doing things manually. If relevant, I add some doodles or drawings. :lol:

My letters are always hand-written, because I'm older than most of the celebrities whose autographs I request and my handwriting looks young.

I hand write! {up}

I always hand write, I find it more personal and it shows you took the time to write it out, but I think if you type a letter and explain why you are typing, then its alright. Problem is they don't always read the entire letter and might not see your reason..

I used to type all of my letters when I first started writing five or so years ago but in the past couple of years I've handwritten all of my letters. To be honest with you its not really affected my responses either way in my experience, but I like to feel as though I'm making more of an effort by handwriting each individual letter now - even though it takes me well over an hour per letter to pen readable handwriting, either way whether I've typed or handwritten them I always seem to apologise either for typing it because my handwriting is so messy or apologising for my messy handwriting :P
