Penmanship?

[Laddy]

I can't. My hands shake so my penmanship in general is awful. :cookie:

So how's your writing/drawing skills?

[Jowy]

godawful.

[Tigmafuzz]

My regular handwriting is nice and completely legible and my regular penmanship (cursive) is a bit fancy yet still completely legible.

I bought a fountain pen a few years ago and studied penmanship because it was interesting, so :greenie: but it wasn't bad before that either. Only my cursive changed a bit.

[Alpha2099]

I can't draw worth a lick, but my handwriting is pretty darn good.

[Bunny]

I had insanely good penmanship when I was in high school. Now it looks like I write with my toes.

[Denmark]

the quality goes downhill when i haven't written much in a long time (such as now) but usually creeps back up if i have to write a lot for any reason (this happened when i was still in school)

[blackmage_nuke]

I use pencil

[Lonely Paper Star]

My penmanship is pretty good. I still get a lot of practice with it. I bring a notebook nearly everywhere I go. I just like writing out my creative endeavors first instead of just typing it (even though a lot of it ends up on a computer eventually).

My drawing is just okay. I'm sure if I practiced a looottt more I'd be decent, but I'm not that motivated. xD

[Chris]

My handwriting is perfectly adequate, but my drawing skills have diminished somewhat over the years.

[Clo]

I think I have nice handwriting. I see a lot of horrible handwriting on a daily basis though. :|

[Jinx]

People tell my I have really pretty handwriting. Sometimes it's just shit, but only if I'm being lazy. I like my handwriting, because it's pretty unique. I loop and carry over a lot of letters.

My signature is horrible, though. Sadly, with the letters in my name, I just can't make it pretty.

[Shauna]

My handwriting is atrocious. I don't mind so much, it's still readable to myself and others. It's all good.

[Slothy]

Handwriting? Please, I print mother fuckers.

And by print I mean my printing has taken on some bastardized form where it's not really printing because I don't lift my pen/pencil, but it's not really handwriting because it doesn't use those silly fancy letters they taught us in elementary school. Despite being sloppy as hell though, it is completely legible if you aren't someone with even worse handwriting that hasn't seen a properly formed letter in a decade or two.

[Jinx]

Handwriting? :P Do you mean CURSIVE?

[Slothy]

Yes. Handwriting is the local slang for cursive. Don't you know anything Tifa's Boobs?

[Iceglow]

my handwriting went right downhill when I barely had to write anything out, now I'm constantly there with a notepad making notes when I get troublesome calls at work or when I'm whiling away the time between calls. My handwriting is improving dramatically again, I recently re-discovered my ability to write incredibly small on the page whilst still making it clearly legible to the most blind of people (excluding my housemate Fi who is so blind she makes a mole look positively like it's got eagle vision).

[Shauna]

Yes. Handwriting is the local slang for cursive. Don't you know anything Tifa's Boobs?

Since when? Handwriting and cursive are different for me. :p Cursive is the fanciest of handwriting.

[Hollycat]

I was told all throughout high school my handwriting resembled a childs doodles.

[Jinx]

Handwriting is all encompassing of both cursive and print.

[Unbreakable Will]

I...I write like a five year old who's penmanship is terrible for a five year old. :roll2

[Slothy]

Since when?

You realize when I say local I'm not talking about the forum right?

[Shauna]

Omitting words like local from my reading makes things easier for me. Apparently. :3

[Slothy]

It's okay, I skim absolutely everything I read too.

[Araciel]

Why in the holy world of fuck would I have to write anything by hand? I have a keyboard and photoshop.

Also I have a signature which looks nothing like letters.

[Shorty]

The S in my signature can be made out. Everything else is just scribbles.

My handwriting is extremely rushed, sloppy and loopy. Also, I can't write in a straight line to save my life.

[Jinx]

I love people who are left-handed.

[Shorty]

I am left-handed.

[Raebus]

I can draw fine but my penmanship is awful. D:

[Jinx]

I am left-handed.

hey gurl :aimkiss:

[Shorty]

Man, you dudes here have been doing it wrong the whole time.

[Araciel]

Being a lefty sucks cause you get ink/pencil all ovar the hand when writing :@ keyboard 4evr!

[Raistlin]

My handwriting is pretty sloppy. And considering that almost everything I've handwritten in the past 7 years has been notes that only I need to read, I have had no incentive to make it more legible. It's about convenience and speed.

[Jiro]

I do lots of notes and idea spitballing on paper which is, y'know, alright. Not the nicest but it's mostly legible. But fuck man my hand hurt yesterday during that exam, trying to write that quickly and consistently was killing me.

[Criminally Vulgar]

Learning cursive crippled my handwriting ability. I went back but all that was left was arthritic scribbles and big spaces between each word. It's been this way for a very long time now and I'm looking for help.

[snacks]

I can draw, but my handwriting skills are so so bad that I just give up halfway through a signature.

my handwriting is mostly like that, though it depends on the type of pad I'm using should've pictured my scribblings at work today where I was bored and jotting down whatever song lyrics came to mind or thoughts that's pretty interesting.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Even when he has to write it by hand, Steve gives us a novel. :p

[Flaming Ice]

I can't. My hands shake so my penmanship in general is awful. :cookie:

So how's your writing/drawing skills?


Don't know ...just want that cookie :jess:

[Slothy]

Only for you Shorty:

[Pike]

I block-print like an engineer. It's legible and I like it that way. Cursive is an awful thing and needs to be ooked in the dooker.

Huxley hand wrote me a letter once and he writes like a girl. :aimkiss:

I love cursive. I write fastest that way because my thoughts tumble out of my head really quick when I'm doing creative writing trout. ;______;

And you should show us an example of your writing!

[Pike]

P.S.: We joke about Iceglow, but I actually have handwritten three full-length novels. I was so glad when I got my own computer; I actually type my books out now. xD

I do what I can.

I'm gonna go eat worms now.

[Peegee]

I have legible handwriting. Some people say I write 'like a girl' but I don't write at all like Shorty and she's the girliest girl girl ever.

(now she's going to pound my face into the dirt)

Quick Shorty! I'll hold him down.

That's what she said.

[Tigmafuzz]

eric what the smurf does that mean

It's Voltaire, woman :freak:

[Shorty]

I can see that, thank you.

[~*~Celes~*~]

My handwriting is okay, i can't draw worth a darn though. I don't even pretend to be able to.

[Jowy]

it was that or the lyrics to "livin' on a prayer" by bon jovi.

[Denmark]

I think you made the right choice there; Bon Jovi sucks

[Jowy]

that statement is debatable.

[Denmark]

down with New Jersey

[Jowy]

I can get behind that.

[Clo]

I wish schools still taught cursvive, because its actually really useful to write that fast

[Aulayna]

I think you made the right choice there; Bon Jovi sucks

I used to think you were cool.

[Lonely Paper Star]

I wish schools still taught cursvive, because its actually really useful to write that fast

O_o So wait, they don't?

[Jowy]

Personally, I didn't have to use cursive after seventh grade English. I could barely read what I wrote down half the time anyway!

[Jiro]

You know what's even faster than cursive? Shorthand. Why not go all the way and just learn how to mentally make words appear on the page!

37540

[Aulayna]

They used to drill cursive into our heads pretty much up until high school. Then all of a sudden they stopped caring.

[Denmark]

I was taught cursive in like 3rd grade, then no one forced anything on us. My handwriting has developed into a part cursive part print mishmash

[Pike]

Why not go all the way and just learn how to mentally make words appear on the page!

Typing is close enough to that for me :jess:

[Lonely Paper Star]

I would used to sometimes purposely make my writing unreadable so that I wouldn't have to lend my notes out to anyone.

[Pumpkin]

They taught us cursive in grade 2 and 3 and told us it was mandatory and we would need to know it. Well they lied. I don't personally know anyone who writes exclusively in cursive. I mean sure we can all do it if we wanted to, but no one really cares enough to do it. Plus it's usually harder to read people's writing if it's in cursive.
