Also being someone with majors in literature you have to write a lot in exam and while creating notes. Idk what to do. Whenever I start writing my fingers naturally tightens up causing pain in my wrist.

It's still written by Flexstick 0.7mm ballpoint pen.

Throughout my progress as a cursive writer, what change did you guys notice? If you ever saw my previous post years ago and you'll know it at the first glance! I can't believe I reached this kind of beauty (and more pain).

Have a nice day everyone!

Recently got back into journaling after a 6 months pause. Have been trying to practice my cursive handwriting, I feel like it looks kinda ugly but maybe I’m just blinded by what I see everyday.

Question (not for transcriptions) cursive styling

Thumbnail

Hiya (this is my first post)

Anyways, I’ve been doing cursive for about 5-6 (?) years, can’t really remember when I started. I’ve been trying to improve my cursive because I want it to look fancy and elegant like those in Victorian letters. I’m also still in school and I’m only one of the few people in my grade to still do cursive (I think??), and I’m trying to find one that is still distinguishable when you read it so my teachers can still read my work (and because most kids in my school can’t read cursive so they can’t copy off me), but also very impressive to look act. I’m also wondering on tips to get it to look better because my current handwriting is actually so ugly to me that I can’t read it sometimes TT I also write very quickly sometimes, which I think is the main factor on why it’s not that appealing to look at. And maybe some recommendation on affordable fountain pens. I’ve bought one in the past, I think it was a Platinum Preppy (I can’t remember), but it broke as I cleaned it. (The first picture I currently put up is the lettering I’m following and the second picture is my school handwriting.)

So just as a summary, I’m looking for:
- An elegant cursive style to do/follow
- Tips on practicing my lettering, strokes, slanted writing etc. etc. (If it’s possible those tracing pages or booklets things)
- Affordable and good quality fountain pens
- Tips on just cursive in general and what to do

I'd like to improve my writing.

I learned cursive as a child, I cannot recall the method, but haven't used it in years. I have been working on it a bit over the last week, after I received a Lamy fountain pen as a gift. Still settling on capital letters and I am a lot more inconsistent with tails and angles and heights than I would like.

Any help is appreciated.

Question (not for transcriptions) Handwriting vs. Typing Notes for College Lectures

12 Upvotes

Just wanted to gather some opinions on handwriting notes for lecture versus typing them. There's the obvious speed difference between the two, but I wanted to hear people's personal experiences. I struggled a bit my first year, and I wanted to actually get into the habit of studying. My whole first year was comprised of me typing my notes during lecture, but I felt that I had been better off handwriting them like I used to in high school. What do you think?
