Reading and Riting

Maybe I should make myself a biorhythm-type thing, because I notice definite phases between reading mode and writing mode. At the moment, I am in reading mode, devouring all kinds of books and written works like there's no tomorrow. But early this morning, still lying in bed (for a given value of "early"; it's Sunday, after all), my mind began constructing sentences again, so I guess writing mode is just around the corner.
I also think that when I start writing again, I will start with longhand, just so I don't forget how to write. In these days of computer keyboards, who is still sitting down and actually writing something with pen and paper? But someone who bakes her own bread, makes her own bath bombs, and knits stuff should still be able to write by hand.
Mass-production, globalization, a Maccy D's at every corner of the world? It's no wonder we cherish the home-made, self-made, hand-made, individual things in life. Even if bread could be gotten cheaper at the shops, and even if one sleeve is slightly longer than the other.
