Dear u/demure,

Great post! That is some mighty fine handwriting you got there! You should be very proud! As you can see I'm still writing on a 3rd grade level. I hate my ugly scrawl!!! My SO does calligraphy and it's almost embarrassing to practice with her. I consider this lack of skill one of my greatest flaws. I curse these fingers that scar paper like a dull knife...

I think handwriting is extremely important to us. There is something pure in putting quill to scroll. A mind/body connection you just can't get on a keyboard. My mind is clear but my writing is muddy and it bothers the hell out of me! But I digress...

Anyways, great topic. I hope my penmanship hasn't hurt your eyes too bad. Take solace that your hand flows freer than mine. To Hubski I ask what one can do to better their writing skills? Is there any hope for me? Is the pen really mightier than the sword?
