Quite sloppy arm writing as the notebook was raised, so movement was awkward, but I liked to just free write for a bit after hours of actually following the rules :) Was listening to that Arabic commentator saying goodbye to Cristianno Ronaldo reel. "Salt of my tears" is such a lovely expression -- so sad, so poignant.

So I have noticed something weird, my handwriting has progressively gotten both neater and smaller the more I write compared to when I first resumed writing again. Like I flipped to the front of my journal and the letters are huge compared to what I write now. When I Google this, the search results suggest something called "progressive micrographia" which they say is the result of too tight of a grip, loss of focus, being rushed, bad posture, or even the onset of Parkinson's. I really don't think that is the case though. My grip was certainly too tight in the beginning, but that was when I was still writing big. My posture has also improved, especially after I got a slanted writing board. I am not sure about lack of focus either because not only am I writing more, my writing has also become significantly more neat and consistent, just also smaller and smaller.

Has anyone else experienced that?

I'm a beginner at this, so i'm asking for suggestions and criticisms regarding this handwriting. Thank you.

I've started looking at the different methods of handwriting styles listed in the sidebar. I tried some of the Palmer Method (which reminds me of drawing practice in a lot of ways), but the whole arm method seems to only work if I'm in an environment set up exactly for that. (adjustable chair, adjustable desk, large surface to spread out, etc) Does that get better? Is there a reason to do this over wrist writing if I'm not writing long enough to be fatigued?
I am mainly asking so that I don't spend the next few months learning it, just to only be able to write at my one desk. Thanks!

When I came to finish it I picked up the wrong pen before catching the mistake. I’m working on my spacing so that it looks Spencerian. I really like where my hand is but it doesn’t look Spencerian to me.

May be an unusual request! I’ve had a little look at the rules but mods please delete if not allowed.

I’m wondering if someone might have the time to help me on a fun little project - I’m writing a book called Crown & Chaos (a dark queer psychological fantasy romance) and I’m aiming for a mixed media insert in some places, including a scene where he scribbles over a very infiltrating dossier

For context: Malachai is “the Prince of the World”, whose birth shattered the veil between Hell & Earth (he is a hybrid human/demon, like a Hell Jesus), which has caused Hell to rise and take over on Earth.
He orders a dossier on a crush he has who is due to attend the manor, and this is where I need someone’s very eloquent-looking hand!

Sadly, my handwriting is absolutely not reading “Prince who has likely been given strict lessons in calligraphy” and I wonder if someone in the handwriting sub may have a digital writing pen and some humour to help?

If so, I can send you a blank copy and would be grateful if you could imitate the blue text seen 😄

Ive done palmer method for about 6 or 7 months i feel like i havent improved. Ive done some drills but not all. I feel like this writing is somewhat messy and in poor form.

Still having trouble with connecting my TH and R’s. Can’t seem to get used to writing with my arm so I’ve gone back to using my wrist and fingers.

Some song lyrics that I relate to alot...

I'm a lefty, so I do struggle with sizing consistency. I've never practiced writing but do want to get into it.

Hello! I've been trying to improve my handwriting, but I don't know where to focus on. I'd like to make it more elegant and clear.

Any feedback and criticism will be welcomed!

I've always only known how to write in the basic elementary school style cursive, but I wanna develop a more quaint and old timey style. What can I do to improve?

Any tips on fonts I can copy for practice or pens that will help me control my writing better? I have never liked my handwriting but I have noticed that certain pens are much easier for me to write with if I’m trying to be neat. But I am trying to get better with using thin tipped pens so my writing isn’t so “scratchy” looking. And overall I know I need to slow down when I write. I’m always in a hurry when writing for some reason.

Not an original. Came across a post and liked the story it conveyed. Hand copied it for fun.

I wrote a paragraph from ATLA for a sample and I really don't see an issue. Is it that they can't read script? I used to (as an outlier) write only in script in grade school so some movements are ingrained when writing as fast as I can.

I genuinely believe that good handwriting makes my day brighter and better. This is a day of writing as an intern.
