And are you happy with your handwriting?...

My handwriting is squarely OK. I've played with different styles over the year, but I am trying to pick up lettering and calligraphy. I think though I have some habits I may need to break first to make the process a lot easier.

Poll incoming

..no I’m not happy at all....my handwriting is awful...but I think it also reflects that life tends to be a rush, for me anyway... so I’m always feeling in a rush when I’m writing....it can be more neat when I have more time...actually, we spoke recently about journal writing, Maru...and I have to say, a positive about that was that it gave me more time to ‘kick back’ as it were...but then my head and thoughts weren’t clear thinking, so my handwriting was still awful.....I had to rush stuff onto the page, while I still had them in my head because often those things became completely lost with treatments etc...



...anyways, my mum always had the most beautiful handwriting...I was totally in awe of it....she can’t and doesn’t write now because she has dementia plus something equivalent to Parkinson’s disease, so she’s too ‘shaky’ to write and keep a pen or pencil steady...my dad also actually had lovely handwriting, it was quite calligraphy-ish in its style...so I come from a fine heritage of great handwriting and am a bit of a black sheep with that.....actually my eldest brother has beautiful handwriting as well...beautiful in that it’s very pretty in style but not very readable though...

Though I can NEVER grasp writing in cursive, I still use block letters today...

[bots]

mine is dreadful

[Shaun]

I like mine but it's probably objectively 'not very good'.

OK. Can be very good if i take the time, but I tend to scribble what I mean. Still readable though, not like ****ing doctors where it just literally looks like a 2 year old has got hold of a crayon to write your medical report. **** knows how other staff read them

You just described my writing

[Gstar]

Nice and neat

Messy handwriting is actually a massive pet peeve of mine. It can also be dangerous if you work in healthcare

[Marches]

Awful

[Cherie]

Good if I take my time, but practically illegible if I don't

[Cherie]

Also Maru, Americas seem to be taught a type of cursive script (which is lovely) at least all my American cousins seem to write in the same vein, not sure how you are taught at school..

[Babayaro.]

It's actually really good

[andybigbro]

Mine is ok when I take my time. When I used to write for exams it was all a messy scribble

I should of spent more time looking down than looking at girls

My niece is 36 so you are too old

that said it's funny that your writing looks like that it might be the way it is taught in schools or something, like my post to Maru all my american cousins have more or less the same handwriting..

Chicken-scribble, yet still totally legible, if that makes sense. It's easy enough to read, but not pretty to look at . I very rarely write anything more than a few scribbled notes by hand these days anyway.
