Today, January 23rd is National Handwriting Day! It was established in 1977 by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association to promote the consumption of pens, pencils, and writing paper. The date chosen is significant because it is the birthday of John Hancock, the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. Celebrate this annual event by putting a writing utensil to a writing medium:
- Journal
- Send a handwritten letter to a friend or family member
- Write a short story or poem
- Try calligraphy
- Write a love note for someone you care about
