I learned that there's a word for people like me who like writing: graphophiles. And guess what you call the fear of writing? Graphophobia . Not that I could ever put myself in that position, because to say I "like" writing is an understatement. I just love writing, anything from letters and postcards, to short stories (which I never finish), to lists (which I never follow), to taking down thorough notes during speeches/classes/sermons (which I never go back to). I have more pens than I could ever use in one lifetime, and more letter pads than I could ever find time to actually send. But apparently that's to be expected, because graphophiles not only love writing, but all things related. So I guess now I have something to blame for my immeasurable amount of papers and envelopes and pens and more pens collecting dust. Did I mention I have a lot of pens?
As a bonus, here is a fascinating blog entry that's basically a short list of links to a few things graphophiliated (that's my own made-up word: graphophile + related = graphophiliated! No one can ever say I didn't contribute to the English language! ;-)
