Asked by Wiki User

Well first of all, I would suggest deciding upon a medium to write with, which would depend on your canvas. If you want an impersonal type, then Microsoft Word or something like it, then whatever font you'd like. Then, depending on what canvas, decide the medium, could be a pen, pencil, calligraphy pen, blood, whatever floats your boat. Then, let your heart take over.
