I just adore the feeling of calling off handwritten cards. Plus, it leaves
room for notes to yourself and fun things like COLOR CODING! (One of my
projects over the holiday was to clean out my digital dance collection and
then put all the best ones onto color-coded cards for myself.)
As everyone said, use pencil if it works for you. However, I find pen more
legible, in general, and the number one thing you want on your contra cards
is ease of readability, no?
Of course, you could try making a handful of cards in pen and a handful in
pencil and use 'em for a while, and see which you like better and whether
they stand the test of time!
Luck,
Maia

Hi Emily. I have my cards backed up on the computer,
but use hand written
cards. The cards are written in black ink, but if I need to change
something, I use white-out, if that's why you want to use a pencil. I like
the hand-written cards so I can add notes to myself while calling if I
notice things that I could have taught or called in a better way.
Bottom line is, the system you choose for making your cards is very
personal, and whatever works best for you is "right".

Hi Folks,
The most basic of questions... does anyone write their dance
cards with
pencil and if so, have they found that they smudge???
I'm quite a new caller and am a stage where I am figuring
out my dance
organization. Until now, I've been keeping my dances
on the computer.
However, I do almost everything on the computer and I really
like the idea
of having my dances on physical cards I've written out.
But... I want to use pencil!
Is this a no no????
Thoughts???
Emily
