I want my daughter (aged four) to enjoy writing by hand. It's part creative, part practical, but I also think that humans have a connection to the physical act of making things, or marks, that will take a (very) long time to go away, and that we will yearn for if we stop.

That said, I love making things, drawing, painting etc, but have terrible handwriting, and mostly hate doing it! My teachers never let me get my "pen licence", so to this day I much prefer a mechanical pencil.
