    Hey I wondering if someone, or something, could help me with my handwriting. I don't like it very much and want my writing to look more appealing and better. i hangout with lots of girls (I envy their handwriting except bubble letters) and they always tell me they can't read my handwriting lol. As shown my writing tends to connect a lot. I'm a fast writer and could care less about neatness, but now I understand the importance of it xD. I'm trying to write cursive now because of it.

    Tips and help would be great biggrin.gif

    Nobody can read cursive. Cursive sucks. Don't write cursive. I've been trying to improve my handwriting for a while because I realized neat handwriting isn't necessarily slower, but it's easier to read (for notes and such like). Basically I take my time writing whenever I can, and it's working so far. I'm too busy lazy to upload a sample of my handwriting but I write my a's like this: α .. IMO it's fastest. Good luck!

    EDIT: BTW If you're in dire need of help you could try typing up something you're studying and printing it in a font you like in a light gray color, then trace over it. It's good for studying too. smile.gif

    Thanks! I'll try doing that. Cursive to me looks really nice... imo. A lot of people i know can read cursive and all my teachers write it.

    i use a mix of cursive and print... and its pretty good i think
    if you use print as an old person, it might not seem very sophiscated. especially if youre a prof or teacher

    just try to write well and be conscious of your penmanship all the time
    it might take a while, but itll work

    Cursive looks really nice if you can write it well.

    I started to improve my handwriting in 5th grade when I implemented the following three things:

    1. Using curved Y's instead of the standard two-stroke ones
    2. Writing smaller
    3. Holding my utensil closer to the tip

    I would post a sample of my handwriting but I can't find my webcam at the moment.

    Yeah, I'm trying to write smaller now and I'm also holding my g2- pilot at the very end of the grip ( love the ink).
    I've been trying pretty hard improving and i actually think i got a lil better biggrin.gif

    Just write slowly for a while, but form your letters well. Over time, you'll get faster, but you'll still keep the good letter form.

    Hang out around with people who right well (girls and guys who actually used their handwriting books) and attempt to copy their writing style
