Bought a nice birthday card, spoiled it with my crap writing. Ugh.
Donāt know if anyone else has that problem, but if I donāt write regularly my hand writing goes downhill and I canāt seem to write half decently unless Iām seated.
People who have effortlessly beautiful handwriting give me so much envy.
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 peopleās 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.
