I've been consistently embarrassed by my writing and drawing (cursive, block, white boarding, etc) since I was a kid, and I can't seem to get any better. My wife's penmanship in any situation is... great (stunning by comparison). I can read stuff she wrote 20 years ago - I have trouble rereading my own notes from 2 minutes ago.
- medstrom 6y agoWriting love letters and other notes to my girlfriend prompted me to look up videos on handwriting. It honestly doesn't take long -- in preschool it was torture, but as an adult you can achieve big gains in an hour.
- owenversteeg 6y agoWhat videos did you use? Other people here, what did you use? I see there are a ton of options - Getty-Dubay is mentioned below but there seem to be many other similar systems.

- intergalplan 6y agoThat loopy-style cursive they taught us in school was so damn ugly, even when done perfectly, and not especially fast. I never understood why they were making us learn it. Its existence only made any sense to me whatsoever when I learned it was designed with a fountain pen in mind.
- intergalplan 6y agoI have writing samples from second grade. My writing was much more legible then.
- JasonFruit 6y agoI improved my handwriting markedly by teaching my children handwriting. Knowing I was setting a poor example for them was motivating.
