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

    Don’t know if anyone else has that problem, but if I don’t write regularly my hand writing goes downhill and I can’t seem to write half decently unless I’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 people’s expectations.

      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 )

      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.

      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.

      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.
