I have a thing for notebooks, I never throw them away, like ever. I still have some workbooks from preschool and kindergarten.

Call me weird, but lately I've been trying to improve my penmanship, and relearning cursive.. Its a slow process, but I'm kind of enjoying it. :p

How are you going about that process? My handwriting can be difficult for others to decipher, and I'd love to improve. Are you learning through repetition, or using some sort of resource?

Repetition mostly. Pages and pages of the alphabet, numbers. Loops and circles, too. It helps to draw out the letter shapes using your whole arm in the air, if that makes sense. It helps build muscle memory.

I've been going through and highlighting the sets I like the most and try to recreate them.

Biggest piece of advise I've found online -- and something I struggle with -- is to slow down. When I'm on a roll I can't even decipher my own chicken scratch. Lol
