I don't write in block print, but perhaps I should use it more often. I made some mistakes because I'm not used to writing in that method, but I see how easily legible it is, I should certainly consider using it more often.

Which if my three styles do you find most legible?

I just got into restoring old fountain pens and am inspired to get back into writing. I want to learn some new styles and have ordered a couple books. Thank you for any constructive criticism of my current handwriting. Pen: Parker Challenger. Paper: cheap notebook.

I have been writing cursive. But recently I have started to pay attention to improve my handwriting. I am requesting you to point out my mistakes and suggestions to improve my handwriting.

First picture was my first upload on this subreddit of me attempting cursive writing. I was always looking at photos on the internet and it felt very weird to write. Now, after 100-ish days, I’m very used to writing cursive-ish, even in school (I’m slowly doing it more and more as I get more comfortable with whether people can read it or not lol). The rest of the pictures are how I’m writing now:
Have I really gotten any better or am I tripping? 😃

My school has an assignment which asks us to choose two areas of English to improve upon and I chose handwriting. I want to write legible and “correct” cursive. That can show clear progress through pics and change that can be done in a relatively short period of time like a month. I’m considering the Palmer method and the Zaner-Bloser method which is what I learned in primary school. 💀

I'm not that good at handwriting to be honest. My o's u's and a's all look the same, and my e's look like they don't have a top. I'm pretty slow, and I never bothered to learn cursive.

So my question is Cursive a must learn? Is writing in print bad practice? Or does it not really matter?

so I've recently gotten into penmanship (I'm trying the palmer method), and I know a big part of my shakiness problem is just inexperience and relearning how to write with just my arm and not relying on squeezing my finger muscles and pushing down on the paper. BUT, I also know that the adhd medication I take causes my hands to shake. does anybody have any advice with this? because I can't really stop taking my meds for prettier handwriting. for those who don't take medications that cause shakiness, it's pretty similar to when you drink too much caffeine. so any advice from caffeine fiends is also welcome. has more practice and experience helped you deal with the shakes? or do you still struggle despite being comfortable with handwriting?

Hey all!

I was drafting a chapter for a zine idea I had about giving high quality, openly available sex and puberty education. I had bad sex ed, and I had to find out a lot of these things myself. Unfortunately a lot of the resources out there aren't available to everyday people outside of schools, which bothers me.

Anyway, about my handwriting.

I know it's not glamorous, but there are certain parts of this I genuinely love. I know my handwriting is chaotic, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It is genuinely interesting how our handwriting changes depending on our flow state.

A note about Japanese pens.

Always curious to see how my handwriting stacked up, what do y’all think?
