I had to teach myself how to write in print when I was 18, because my cursive was unreadable. Print was only slightly better.

People ask me once in a while, how come I can draw fairly well, but my writing is hardly legible. teehee.

People ask me this too. Then I show them my calligraphy skills and they wonder even MORE what's wrong with my normal writing.

For those of you lamenting your handwriting, if you're willing to put in the work, go here: http://palmermethod.com/ It will help.

Interesting. I wonder if it would help with drawing too

No idea. I can draw fine, but my handwriting sucked for years.

Sometimes I write things and can't read them back; sometimes I find old things I wrote and I'm super impressed. Still shitty but legible.

In my case, so many hours saved, it's faster, and took minimal time to learn

I like that there are other people who like handwriting. There is something artistic about it.

There are a lot of people that like handwriting. It's just that most of us can't fucking do it.
BulbasaurMagnus1984
I write in cursive all the time. My English teacher during my senior year told me that my handwriting was hard to read but he didn't 1/2
BulbasaurMagnus1984
Want to tell me not to write in cursive. So we comprised and I just spaced out my words. In fact that's all I write in is cursive 2/2
IndyFoxBlue
I also write in cursive all the time. Someone once said "that's cute" to me like I was fucking stupid.
BulbasaurMagnus1984
I'm sorry you had to hear that! Cursive is a wonderful thing, kudos to you for also writing in cursive!
IndyFoxBlue
High Five!! I'm obsessed with handwriting. Now, if I could just get it to stop hurting my hand so much.
BulbasaurMagnus1984
-hi five!- I have the same problem, but it also hurts less than printing in my experience. Plus, it really sets aside your work from others'

I practiced so hard in primary school, had to do extra work on my handwriting at home with books and stuff. Still suck
OSCgal
Like, making circles over and over again? Or straight lines? I sucked at cursive for years b/c they never made us practice just the 1/2
saltypond
Heres some examples. I write in capitals otherwise it's illegible /a/k6Z7c
saltypond
Workbooks with activities and tips. Like tracing letters then having to do it by yourself.
OSCgal
basic elements, starting with how to hold a pen. 2/2
saltypond
I don't think I was ever taught how to hold correctly either, if I was it wasn't enough

I came across some of my grade school stuff today. My penmanship has managed to sustain the same level of messy legibility for 20 years.

I can't remember the last time I wrote something that wasn't on a work form - and yes, I have thought about bringing a printer to work.

mine is a b with a v in it, nobody cares anyways

Mine is typically the first initial followed by scribbles that generally take the shape of the correct letters, but not actual letters.

I've been writing cursive for about a decade, and I can barely read my own notes. It's a lot faster than lifting the pen off the paper.

True. Being skilled in typing is far more important today.

Bad handwriting is a defense strategy sometimes. Makes it harder for your peers to cheat off your paper.

I'm going to be a doctor so it's imperative that my handwriting be a cross between chicken scratch and hieroglyphics.

Yes. i'm wondering if a change in writing (overwriting/underwriting) would help though it would be hard to make such a change.

I got you fam. My handwriting's a hot mess and I end up with ink on the side of my hand on a regular basis.

I'm left handed. Neatest handwriting in my social circle.

Kinda, got forced to write with my right hand in nursery/primary school, I now can't write for shit with either. Oddly I still write with1/2

ToShellWithYou
Catholic mom wouldn't let me write with my left hand, so I'm "right handed" for writing...except that I do cursive with my left hand.
ToShellWithYou
~25 years later and I'm not sure if I do it out of spite or if I'm the one who ended up burned by it. Fuck fountain pens for cursive.

Hand hurts after writing two paragraphs?
ArdentLeaper
My hand hurts after 1. I hate writing.
twinkledink
Writing in cursive can hurt your hand after a short amount of time if you're not used to it. Cursive requires a lot of loops and shit.
voiceafx
I used to write in a journal every day. Switched to cursive because it hurt my hand less.
WallpaperProblems
Hear this teacher! Stop making us write god f*** essays on cursives (I just need to vent)
lethalhedgehog
Personally, I love cursive. It's far faster and my hand doesn't get tired so it's an easy choice. I don't understand how people use print!
WallpaperProblems
Well I have quite a problem with Coordination, and they fucked my writing early on so for me Computer is the only writing I am ok.
lethalhedgehog
You get used to it quite fast though
twinkledink
[1/2] Not always. I tried to write in cursive for a while but never got used it. I was so used to writing in print that I couldn't naturally
twinkledink
[2/2] just write in cursive. I eventually gave up.
lethalhedgehog
Oh we're you older then usual learning it?
