I have to use the Times New Roman font or a similar font for most of my writing, particularly my academic writing. However, there are situations when I compose a piece that Times New Roman just doesn’t work for me. Often, I prefer to choose a different font when drafting a piece of writing, particularly when the words aren’t flowing. For some reason, changing the font seems to give me some freedom, although I really can’t explain why this makes a difference. Maybe the “fun” fonts make the process of getting words onto the page a little less intimidating. Maybe the feeling of informality makes me feel less pressured about writing.
I love all of the fonts available in Google Docs, which is where I do a lot of my drafting. I especially appreciate the names of many of the fonts such as Gloria Hallelujah, Covered By Your Grace, Crafty Girls, and Homemade Apple. I wonder why particular names were chosen for each font. Why did the creators of the fonts choose these names? What’s the story?

I never thought to change the font while writing to help the flow! What a great suggestion… I will definitely look up those fonts you recommended. 🙂

Some of those i’m going to have to check out. I agree that changing font often gives me a boost.

We are font sisters! I used the same technique during March for the SOLSC. I found that if I opened a Word doc and set the font to Segoe print, the words flowed more easily. Maybe because it looks a little like handwriting? I never thought to wonder about the names, though. Now, however, I am wondering. Think I’ll google “segoe” and see what I find. 😉
