Answer 1

For some fortunate people, good handwriting comes naturally, while others struggle to make their writing at least legible. Here are some tips which are sure to get rid of your handwriting woes.

* First of all, find a pen you like to write with. Finding the right pen might take a while, but it's definitely the most important step. But, remember that a costlier pen doesn't necessarily mean it's better for you.

* The second most important thing is of course, a good notebook. Choose the ruling which you are most comfortable with - be it wide, college or narrow.

* Now, find a sample of some handwriting you like and want to imitate. This will give you a goal. However, this is not mandatory.

* Now get to writing. Slow down your writing considerably. Always remember that legibility is more important than aesthetic beauty.

* Observe your writing very closely. Are there particular letters you write in unique ways that are not legible? If so, practice more standard formations for the whole alphabet. Concentrate on overall letter formation, the slant of each letter and the beginning and ending of your strokes.

* Move on to complete words once you've made it all the way through the problematic alphabets. Pay attention to character spacing, the way your letters flow from one into the next, and also the spacing between words.

* Try to make writing a habit. Write letters instead of e-mails whenever possible. Keeping a diary is extremely useful.

* Try writing with your non-dominant hand. This will slow you down, help you think about the writing process and also make your real handwriting look great in comparison.

* Develop a test sentence for yourself and write it every week. This will help you gauge your progress at the end of the month.

* To truly improve your handwriting, you have to put in a big effort. Remember that practice makes perfect and you can be sure to reap the benefits for a lifetime.
