I am an avid writer of journals and a paper and pen planner and I really want to do good legible writing, but I tend to rush through my letters and words because my brain talks faster than I can write. I want to get it all down fast but in the end it looks messy, inconsistent and rushed. It really frustrates me because I admire friends and people with beautiful consistent handwriting.

This is taken today when I started the course. It has been how I have written all my life.

This is my Inspiration, taken from a friend who writes with Fountain pens like I do*

Form: I noticed that my letters are inconsistent, the heights are different and the connectors don't connect.

Size: I tend to write to different sizes. the letter sizes are different.

Slant: I tend to write straight on and kind of slant to the right. It looks a bit too straight

Legibility: I think my writing is legible, but when i go fast and over time, I feel that it goes crazy and cannot be read anymore.

My PLAN: is

1. Keep a writing journal and pay attention to my letters as I write it.
2. Do drills and exercises and writing challenges
3. Be consistent in the sizes of my letters and slow down

I will post as I learn

I can see some improvement after the class. I did the drills, pangrams and necklaces and that really helped round out the letters that I need to work on. I still struggle with the size and consistency, but I can see prettier letters on the page.

Here are some of the drills I did. I hope that I can achieve better handwriting soon.
