#Sweden brings more #books and #handwriting practice back to its tech-heavy #schools

anyone have any creative ways of improving their handwriting in their post-education years?

more frequent physical writing is probably sufficient for avoiding regression (I've definitely regressed 🙃), but interested in methods for actual improvement

Curious--Has anyone else tried or successfully managed to change their #handwriting ? Has it been a positive change for you or do you revert back to bad scritchy scratchy habits?

One lesson I've really learned from those younger and perhaps more neuodivergent than myself is that I don't need a reason for my fascinations, they can just *be*. So the fact that I'm suddenly interested in getting my #FountainPens running again – even though they won't suit what little writing by hand I do – is okay. I just want to use them.

A Chinese note, I found and later framed. I haven't deciphered it yet, but in the second line I see an ear and the color white. #Chinese #calligraphy #handwriting #handwritten #FoundNote

My #handwriting and #FountainPen story, in response to @MsHearthWitch and other folks who have asked:

As a kid I learned Zaner-Bloser cursive teaching script[1] in U.S. elementary school and then proceeded to never use it again. (Ballpoint and pencil just aren’t really suited for cursive.) I switched permanently to print, then oblique italic in early adulthood, which is still my daily handwriting.

Mostly, when I write in Japanese, it looks like it was done by a toddler writing with the pen in their mouth.

But sometimes it feels like someone else takes over. #japanese #kanji #handwriting #夢 #下手書道

I’m not sure what this means. My block letters are less legible than my cursive now.

Is this signature written by hand directly onto the book, or is it a printed version of a handwritten signature? I want it to be the former, but my colleague thinks it's the latter.

It's of Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature
