Bought a nice birthday card, spoiled it with my crap writing. Ugh.

Donā€™t know if anyone else has that problem, but if I donā€™t write regularly my hand writing goes downhill and I canā€™t seem to write half decently unless Iā€™m seated.

People who have effortlessly beautiful handwriting give me so much envy.

effortlessly beautiful handwriting

Gramps always used to say "good handwriting is a dunces accomplishment". He was a doc so checked out.

In combination with bad hand writing, I feel like my messages never live up to other peopleā€™s expectations.

Computers and smartphones have ruined my handwriting. Scribbling hand written notes while working doesn't really count in keeping up my penmanship. I do know the pens to use to make my writing look somewhat OK.

The quality of my handwriting is entirely dependent on what I'm using to write with. A bold pen, chalk, dark grey lead pencil or wedge tip texta: great. Fine point biros and my writing looks terrible.

Rule lines to write on

get a nice pen

plan what you want to write

practice before you do the final copy

( my everyday writing is absolute shit but I can do nice writing if I put some effort in )

I hate my handwriting

Absolute same on lack of practice. And I used to have envious handwriting.

To add to this, who else can't make their signature repeatable anymore? Signing for things is such a nuisance when it's actually checked.

If my signature is written correctly it's a sure sign of a forgery.
