A few words on what to expect from this course and how to use it to your advantage.

One thing to keep in mind before you begin: This course is self-paced. Download the workbook, watch the videos and read the text, but be prepared to put in lots of practice to hone your skills. Feel free to watch every video in one sitting, or spread them out over the course of days or weeks - according to the schedule you're following.

There is a practice schedule I've included, which can guide you to a daily routine practice for 45 days. You can choose to practice 10-15 minutes every day or even more if you like. It's completely up to you, and how much time you can dedicate to improve your handwriting. Of course you can choose to create your own schedule, and that's completely fine as well.

I encourage you to use the prompts and ways of practice I've included in this course, to practice and have fun. You can also take part in the monthly handwriting challenge we have on Instagram, where you can interact and get inspired by other people that take part too.

The important thing for you to understand is, that you need to put in the work in order to see your handwriting change and become better. And I promise you, if you practice enough you will see results!

So, let's get started!
