I honesty felttired just looking at that text.
> I am sure the last time I wrote I did it as a novelty. I did it because I was penning down something that held a certain value to me or maybe I just thought that actually writing it down will make me feel more connected to it. Even as I type down the word “writing” the first thought that comes to my mind is actually typing on a keyboard. Whenever I have to write something down I use a KEYBOARD. This honestly sounds…
I used to keep a pad next to my desk to work out difficult programming concepts. I probably used it once a month at most.
I write more now because I try to keep handwritten notes of to-dos, but even then I had to force myself to use a pen, and not one of the million digital note-taking apps.
It's not a question of whether one is better than the other, it's just that keyboards and phones are under the fingers of a large segment of the population for the majority of the day, so people don't even think to use pens.

That was bugging the heck out of me.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy... fox?
Not great.

I'm not sure why it sounds like a humblebrag to you. I believe many people, especially those of us on our computers all day, go days at a time without writing with a pen once, except maybe to scrawl their names on receipts.

I recently started working on fixing my handwriting, which was often so bad that I couldn't even read my own notes. I found an excellent free resource, Handwriting Repair: The Italic Approach http://briem.net/8/2/205.html After going through the beginning worksheets a few times, I've already made a tremendous improvement. The overwrite with zigzag and trace zigzag approach actually works quite well, even though it se…
Thanks, that is a very nice link! I'll give it a try, being a lefty with horrible handwriting. Do you know if that font is anywhere on-line? The author suggests not focusing on the letters at first, so I was thinking: what if we make a scrambled character generator that creates work-sheets with non-words to trace? This might help with the unlearning process.

I chose architect style handwriting and it looks really cool. I only use it for filling out forms or other similar things where other people really need to see every letter.

Instead of imrpoving my existing (sloppy but fast) handwriting I learned a secondary way to write that is much slower but very clear and easy to read. It was fun and I'm glad I did it. I only did about 20 minutes of practice everyday for a week or so. I chose architect style handwriting and it looks really cool.
