Deciding the Reason for Improvement in Handwriting:
Different reasons motivate different people
so maybe it’s a purely aesthetic thing for you, or perhaps you want a new,
creative challenge.
Some might wish to improve their penmanship
as according to them, a good handwriting aids their sense of authority at work
especially if they’re at a management position. Understand the exact reason so
that you can more accurately and determinedly home in on your goal—like a
well-focused laser beam.
Looking at Your Own Handwriting
Before improving your handwriting, you must
be familiar with what kind of handwriting you are currently having. To know
that, pick any topic, or write stream-of-consciousness thoughts on a piece of
lined paper.
Form a paragraph. Write naturally and forget
about what’s perfect. Like this, you will get an accurate sample. When you’re finished,
you can take a step back and objectively start to analyze your handwriting as a
beginning point.
Knowing what to look for
Examine the paragraph you have just written
on the following factor:
- Shapes
(loops, curves, hard corners, etc.)
- Slant’s
degree (the angle in which you write the letters)
- Alignment
(upward or downward angle, any overlapping with other letters, etc.)
- Spacing
- Size
- Line
quality (hard to read, heavy pressure on paper, etc.)
- Identifying
Your Imperfections
Conduct an honest and hard assessment of
the way your handwriting currently looks. You will come to know a few mistakes
as nobody is perfect at first. Practice brings perfection.
Here are some mistakes which you might have
made while writing:
There may be some letters which are too far
apart or squished together
There may be a crooked alignment
There might be too steep an angle in your
letters
The shapes of the letter shapes may be hard
to read or even illegible
There may be some letters that are too
faint or pressed to hard into the paper
The best way to improve writing speed and handwriting
in 40 Minutes is to abide by all these best practices.
