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?
Dear camarillobrillo, Your handwriting is not so bad! I like the mix of capitals within your lowercase -- it adds texture to your print. To better your writing skills? Honestly, I kinda just sat down one day (my writing looking quite atrocious as of three years ago) and spent a large amount of free time working out a script method that worked for me, and kinda have been improving it throughout high school. Best of luck!
You actually improved yours over time? That's inspiring. I don't care if it does take three years, you make me want to pull out our calligraphy practice book with newfound gusto.
