What is National Stationery Week?
For those looking to get involved in National Stationery Week for the first time, you’re probably not too familiar with the concept. The week is all about appreciating the art of writing by hand, encouraging individuals from all around the world to share their passion for handwriting.
Technology has changed the way we live our day to day lives, and as a result, writing by hand has become more of a rarity, with many opting to use a keyboard or their mobile device instead. National Stationery Week attempts to bring back the simplicity of writing by hand.
Don’t forget to join in with the seven daily themes for National Stationery Week 2018, these are:
- Monday 23rd April: #makeanote (managed by Nuco)
- Tuesday 24th April: #penandpencil (managed by Staedtler)
- Wednesday 25th April: #stationerytheworldover (managed by London Stationery Show)
- Thursday 26th April: #workhappy (managed by Mustard)
- Friday 27th April: #aplaceforeverything (managed by Santoro)
- Saturday 28th April: #getstuckintocrafting (managed by Crafter’s Companion)
- Sunday 29th April: #signaturesunday (managed by AT Cross)

How You Can Be More Imaginative?
One of the hardest things about writing is getting started. You can find yourself staring at a blank piece of paper, tapping your pen, waiting for the creative side of you to emerge. Luckily, there are ways to help get your imaginative writing out. Here are some of our tips:
- Change your scenery – the simple concept of changing your environment can help you adapt a different creative frame. A coffee shop is a great example.
- Write what you know –your writing will feel more honest when you’re writing about a subject you know. This could be anything you’re passionate about, such as films, fashion, music, or inspiration from your own life.
- Let your writing speak for itself – overthinking can pause your writing and you can spend longer planning your words than writing them down. It doesn’t matter if your writing isn’t perfect, as long as you’re getting them down. Have we inspired you to get involved in National Stationery Week?
