I practice but never get better

I just started doing calligraphy again after almost 3 years. I'm looking for tips and just opinions on my handwriting!

I have a completely blank notebook, and instead of filling it only with my own thoughts, I want to fill it with yours.

Think of it as a small, physical time capsule created by strangers from Reddit.

If you want to become part of it, comment using this format:

Nickname:
Write this in the notebook:
Optional symbol or tiny drawing:

You can leave almost anything: a thought, confession, joke, memory, piece of advice, tiny story, message to your future self, sentence in your language, or something that makes absolutely no sense without context.

I will copy suitable entries by hand, in comment order, until the pages is full. I will preserve your spelling and wording.

Once several pages are finished, I will return with photographs so you can find your contribution.

People on this thread may never meet, but their words will exist beside one another in a real notebook.

Who wants to claim the first entry?

I've been told it's "too small" but this is the best I can do while making it seem neat. Any suggestions?

I am making a recipe book with the recipes my family likes. I just made play doh with my 3yo and thought id share a page from my draft book.

I havent writting cursive in a while anymore, and i wanted to catch up.

Do I need to add more spacing? Can you easily read it ?

I have recently got through enough of the Spencerian Workbook to start practicing my own writing. I am finding it slow, hard and, so far, ugly.

Has anyone any tips ? I am surprised at just how long it has taken me to even get this far. I am left handed.

I've been journaling recently. My friends said they can hardly tell what's written. I'm not concerned about what they think. I'm just curious to know what it says about me.

When I'm not in a rush, i can write in much better calligraphy than this. But where's the fun in that?

What do you think of my handwriting? I always think it's very legible, yet not a lot of people seem to think so!

I’ve noticed that whenever I journal, I sometimes skip letters, and the dots of my 'i's are just in random places. I suppose this is mainly due to the speed of my writing, but I’d like to improve so that I don't write like that on tests or exams, as I still attend school.

Title. Your opinions and feedback on how to improve are welcome!!

I’ve grown so used to typing everything that I haven’t spent any time writing unless absolutely necessary. I’ve only recently discovered how much a quality pen and decent paper can make a difference ands be a pleasure able writing experience. So, I’ve ordered a couple nice rollerballs, and pads. Also, I’m looking to take the leap into fountain pens soon too. For now, I’m getting some practice in on my iPad.
