n the last days I have been thinking a lot about my handwriting. I
ave never had a pretty handwirting in elementary school and it got
orse around 5th/6th grade.
his is probably due to my need to improve speed to keep up with the
lass. It has never been clear to me at the time though.
o after all these years I try to recultivate -- that probably means
elearning -- my handwriting. Otherwise this tool is not usable to me
t all.
here does all this interest to handwriting stem from all of a
udden? Well I restarted taking notes again. To make these notes
un, I use a technique called sketch notes[0].
hile learning to structure the notes with graphical elements is a
un process the underlying problem is still evident: My handwriting
lows me down or is not readable (even by myself!).
o I will work out and retrain my handwriting. I already have found
ome useful resources. 'Writing in italics' is about the closest I
ave found on the internet that resembles a fluid handwriting style.
do not want to mimick any printed or 'block' letters. I want my
riting to be fluid and neat and readable.
o there's a nice list of resources on the handwriting reddit[1]. I
specially like the 'Better Handwriting for Adults'[2].
s all crafts this needs physical practise. There are some nice
enmanship template papers to print out for the excercises [3] and
or your notebook[4].
o I invite you -- my dear reader -- to join me on this journey of
mproving the handwriting.
