Improving Your Cursive Handwriting

[@amathystlightmoon4875]

I started practicing my handwriting during highschool out of nowhere because it soothed my anxiety. When I was 18, while working at a store, an elderly men got very surprised and complimented my cursive handwriting with "you just don't see it like that anymore". Then it struck me that I'd unconsciously development a skill, and such diligence and care is actually appreciated. Today I study chinese calligraphy as well, very fun.

i was forced to learn cursive in grades 4 & 5. i absolutely hated it because it seemed so mundane & useless to me. it was hard to read & hard to write. as i’ve aged, i’ve become thankful that i was taught. it’s a lot faster to scribble in cursive during college classes & a plus is that no one pesters you to take a photo of your notes. my boyfriend bought me a beautiful journal & fountain pen as an early birthday present. it came in today & i found myself watching this video. it only confirmed what i knew i had to do anyways; practice. my cursive is scratchy & messy. it is riddled with extra loops & lines due to a habit of writing too quickly. my hands are always very shaky, so i must learn to not fight but incorporate the trembling somehow. good luck to everyone who is practicing!

I was taught cursive in school and I quickly learned to love it a great deal more than printing. I now find myself being one of very few people who know how to write in cursive. I often get compliments from strangers about how beautiful it looks. But the truth is I have used cursive for so long that I can't write in print anymore. If I try it usually ends up barely legible. But I still love cursive and I enjoy sometimes just writing what ever comes to mind just to keep my practice up and my writing as well done as my teachers taught me many years ago. It's a shame that schools no longer teach cursive. But I guess with learning about computers becoming the most needed skill these days I can understand why.

[@dr.mckenna7901]

I was only thought how to write in cursive. During high school I transitioned to print because exchanging notes was hard for literally everybody else who wasn't used to it and even some teachers had a hard time reading it. It's been about 15 years and I almost completely forgot cursive. It's in the past few weeks I'm trying to transition back, but I really have to slow down and pay attention to every letter.

A nice elderly woman gave me a card, and I wrote her a card in return in cursive, and I was saddened to hear that she didn’t think I’d be able to read cursive, let alone write with it.

[@Rujewitblood]

That's the only way I was ever taught to write, always kind of shocks me when I see people write in blocky letters, I just assumed everyone wrote the same way, was never even taught printing, but I remember at some point in school they told us we can write however we want from now on, and I think that's when my handwriting started going terrible, because there wasn't any focus on it anymore, just speed

[@selenaphillips6750]

I am 16, and my grade was one of the last in our school system to be formally taught cursive in elementary school. I got the hang of it pretty quick and have always thought that it is beautiful.

[@spongebobsquarepants8403]

Dear CJ, A few months ago, last year I came across this video and I was bedazzled by your penmanship. Starting then, five months ago I wrote in a diary in cursive for the first time in years. It was hard to write and hurt my hand writing this way. But as the months rolled by and I wrote in my cursive handwriting every night before bed it gradually started to improve. Slowly but surely I watched my handwriting evolve from what I first learned back in 3rd grade to what truly is my truest and prettiest handwriting which I can call my own. It's slanted to the right, some letters curved and some dynamically moving through the lines of my paper, like a roller coaster I can now write fast and write good thanks to practice. I come back to this video and though I'm not as impressed with your penmanship and the magic is gone I can say that the lesson you taught me is still here, you have taught me the biggest lesson I ever needed to learn in life. That getting good at anything is as easy as getting started. Now I have started learning other things like guitar, sketching and other things. I come into it knowing nothing and slowly get better as time goes by and I can't thank you enough for the advice that has made my penmanship, as well as my life so much more beautiful.

I was very excited about this because it was like writing with feather of bird in old times ( old scriptures are written like this). Then i got fountain pen...i was very specific about my pens...sometime i used to modify the nib of my pens. it was really fascinating. and i was the only one in the class who wrote with fountain pen in school and the college.

[@elise2182]

I’ve always been pretty clueless and unobservant, but I remember it coming as a complete surprise when I realised at uni that most people don’t write in cursive. Maybe it’s because I was schooled in a mixture of French, English and Arabic schools, so my handwriting kept switching between spiky script to loopy cursive. Then 3h-long exams became a thing and I quickly discovered that writing cursive was MUCH quicker, so I deliberately made myself change the overall ‘look’ of my writing with my teachers’ comfort in mind, such as making loops short and round rather than long or spiky. I even developed my own shorthand and code during lectures to get more on the page faster. This caused quite a bit of frustration from classmates who asked for my notes and couldn’t easily read them, but almost everyone who sees my writing compliments it regardless of legibility! To this day, I don’t really know why, because I never put much effort into neatness and as far as I’m concerned it’s irregular, spiky and difficult to read. But apparently it looks piratey, so I’ll take it!

Watching the video around 1:18 I now notice how your whole hand glides over the paper - instead of just writing with finger movement, you use whole hand movement. Up 'till now I've been writing with finger movement (I believe from ballpoint pen bad habits), and really struggled with your capital letters and making those beautiful curves. Switching to whole hand movement I can instantly see an improvement on my curves and slant angle. So we learn. :-)

I never wrote in cursive until I started going to college, and it really helped me write faster. My notes and diaries are also pretty to look at so it's a win!

[@yosoyroman875]

I’ve been taking my notes in cursive, and I can say that I’ve certainly gotten better. Sometimes I notice I rush, but as said in the video focus and not rushing is key.

[@CJCS]

+Logan Pickering Pick a style you like and copy it diligently. I wrote 1-3 full pages of cursive everyday for a year to get to a point where I wasn't embarrassed to show it. In the years since, I still tweak the letters. Also, whenever I find I'm getting sloppy or too casual about it, maybe once a month or so, I'll sit down and slowly, with focus, write a practice page of text. That helps keep me from developing any bad habits.

Lol, this is one of my most terrible problems, I write cursive letters very slow in our class, that's why on the last 30 seconds where we have to submit our writing, I haven't finish to more sentences which forces me to write in print. Too bad I had deductions :( I'll try improving it

[@Bluejeans0701]

I am a Japanese and I am a translator. When I write English texts, I always write in cursive. I have written it since I started taking English classes back in 1988. I have googled "The Benefits of Writing Cursive" and found that we should write in cursive more. I will continue writing in this traditional method. Thank you for posting this clip.

[@irisxxxxxx]

Andi Carter I am also left handed and I only write with fountain pens. (we had to from our teacher when I was six, that is how we learned how to write, with a fountain pen) It is easy, you just need to get used on it, you need to write with your hand above your letters :) Because I never learned writing with anything else, that is my natural way of writing, even when I write with a pencil or something. I also know lefties that write with their hand underneath their letters, but that feels weird to me. But really, you just need to figure it out, it is really not that difficult :)

[@briarbriar]

irisxxxxxx Usually I write with the paper completely horizontal and underneath what line I'm on...Not sure how well that would go? If it would work, then I would absolutely love to write with a fountain pen! It would make my half-cursive look nice lol

[@ThePaintballerforlif]

When I write with a pen of any type especially when writing cursive the paper is usually canted at a 45° angle with my hand above the line I'm writing...... God second grade was a bitch when it came to writing.

[@HeYxITSxDiAnA]

Andi Carter Umm.. I am actually left handed and I can write with a fountain pen ,pencil and whatever I use ... It is not difficult . But i actually observed that I write above or below the letters ,never next to ...maybe that is what you have to do :) P.S : You do not have to buy a ”special” pen for lefties , you just have to know the tehnique I guess ..

[@daisylozano2940]

I've been writing in cursive for about 2 years now and when I was just starting I learned that writing the closed letters, like 'e', 'a' , 's', etc, small, and the open letters, like 'p' , 't', 'd' , 'l' , 'k', etc tall and long made the writing look neater. Sorry if it's hard to explain, it would be easier if i could show you all 😝

[@DayDreamer2192]

I just found this and I want to thank you for leaving in the moments when you add little corrections to letters as you go. I find myself having to do that a lot as I practice and it makes me feel A LOT better about my progress to know that it's seemingly quite normal!

[@terminalspines]

Did you base your personal handwriting off of a particular method? I love those caps, but they definitely don't look like the standard business writing method.

[@CJCS]

+TXDRMST The basis is Roundhand. That said, I played around with a lot of variations of capital letters. I wanted to have loopy flourishes, legibility, writing ease, and consistency through the hand. Some letters have two or three variants that I switch between just for fun. So the caps are based as much on various calligraphic hand as they are on the cursive styles of Roundhand.

I remember writting somewhat cursive since first grade. Not actually cursive. Like writting "e" and "a" together, etc. Then slowly as I'm in 6th grade, my hand writting got more cursive kind. That helped me to be the fastest writer in class. Although I think I always wrote fast so my hand writting became cursive . I didn't make time for myself to learn cursive. But I just learnt one letter at a time, once I've mastered it, I learnt another. It was fun when I wrote extremely fast and in a slanted style so other couldn't copy my notes. But now I want learn cursive!! Because I think that kinda hand writting actually describes me. Writting fast and aesthetically is one of the things about me. I was here for inspiration. Thanks!!
