If you don't mind me asking, how did you make the switch? I've been writing cursive since early childhood and "chickenscratch" would be too nice a word for what my handwriting looks like.
Every time I've tried to change to print, however, I inevitably get stuck on the fact that I write like a child for months and months before any improvement can be seen. It's just very embarrassing to hand someone a note that looks like it was written by an elementary schooler who just learned their letters.
- Aeolun 4y agoI find the quality of my non-cursive writing increases by leaps and bounds if I can just manage to make myself slow down enough.
- Dalewyn 4y agoBetween chickenscratch cursive and elementary school print, I would prefer the latter. Why? Because I can't read chickenscratch cursive, but I can read print no matter how badly it is written. Writing is fundamentally a communication medium, so if the resulting text is unreadable your writing does not serve its most important and fundamental purpose of conveying yourself to others. As for how to improve: Slow down and write more. That's really all there is to it.
