[…] I want my friends to appreciate the art of writing, as I do with each post I write. Anna, from In Honor of Design, wrote this post about how the art of vocabulary is quickly being replaced with snap-chats, text […]

Amen to this! We come from similar backgrounds (my mom was an English teacher as well) and share the inability to excel at math and science (high school chem was the hardest class of my life). While I love photography and Instagram as much as the next girl, my favorite blogs are those with compelling written content. And I’m with you on Snapchat. Ew. I’ll join you in paddle against losing the art of language!

This makes for a really interest article for me to share, will get on that over the next week. I'm very much with you actually, I started my blog 6 years ago and so much has changed since then. So has my style, if I'm honest I do enjoy writing more personal posts but they're few and far between for me these days. After reading this I think I'l challenge myself to incorporate more, because, you know, it actually means something doesn't it? Snap Chat, no thanks, sounds like a breading ground for dodgy behavior! Really made me think this, you've done your job! Buckets & Spades

This was an excellent post, Anna! It is tough, especially when blogging has such a casual atmosphere. I always feel so self conscious when I know that my older relatives read my blog and probably think I can’t have learned anything in school ever because I write conversationally, and there are quite a lot of run on sentences/poor sentence structure. And I worry about my younger cousins or maybe someday my boys reading the blog and thinking they can write that way in school, too. I want to write a disclaimer: I may write on my blog without a care in the world, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy a good sentence diagram in English class! Ha!

to be honest i have felt so old & crusty hating against instagram and the decrease in comments on my blog but I’ve decided to continue blogging. I love it– it’s my space and like you, it’s my call to go the opposite of where society is heading. xo

I’m a little late to reading this, but so grateful for this post Anna. You are wonderful with your words, I love to see the way you write. I often feel I’m not challenged enough to write well, and I don’t know why I haven’t been using my blog to express it more, but this is a good reminder to do so. Always inspiring : )

I love this because it could not be more raw, authentic and true. I left my career in Marketing behind (literally just at the beginning of this year) because social media overwhelmed me – and while my company saw more and more ‘likes’, the art of interaction was completely lost.

Since then, I’ve made my way back to the handmade community, and hopefully, telling stories through the nostalgic art of pen & pencil. There’s something so real about it, and definitely much more meaningful.

Anyway, it’s always good to read that people share the same sentiments. Btw – I *hate* snapchat, haha.
