I am doing my best to improve my #handwriting skills (printing, not cursive) for no other reason than I often can't read my hand printed notes when reviewed later.
Remediation is a tough road given the decades of bad printing habits. Any suggestion on skills and/or techniques would be sincerely appreciated. Most of the YT videos I've seen seem to be focused on equipment; I think I am good on that front.
@mstarace I disagree.
#CursiveWriting ruined my #handwriting and teaching people to use an actual keyboard blindly is - unlike cursive - an actual skill universally desired if not demanded or expected.
J. Norman Collie said your greatest skill is reading own handwriting. 😂 Is he right? We break down this funny, relatable quote.

I've always believe in learning #cursive #handwriting
I continue to take notes the old fashioned way and not by #typing
The debate continues
Hace muchos años que apenas escribo a mano (apenas es apenas literalmente) y si ya tenía malísima letra (era un inútil hasta con las cartillas de caligrafía), ahora cada letra me sale de un tamaño y aspecto diferentes.
Pregunta para los que aún conserváis las buenas costumbres: ¿sabéis de recursos online, libros o materiales que pueda usar para rehabituarme y volver a coger ese buen hábito como adulto de 50 años?

Well, I also have a Jinhao Dadao and my handwriting isn't as regular as yours. Could it be because of the fountain pen color?

When I spoke at the Arabian Business Awards a few years ago, I showed a slide describing research that shows meetings literally make people dumber: a study published in Transcripts of the Royal Society of London found that meetings cause you to (during the meeting) lose IQ points.
A bunch of people in the audience took photos of that slide.
The same was true when I presented a slide describing research published in Journal of Business Research showing that not only do 90 percent of employees feel meetings are unproductive, but when the number of meetings is reduced by 40 percent employee productivity increases by 70 percent.
A bunch of people took photos of that slide, too.
Both findings seem easy to remember, if only because the research confirms what most people feel about meetings: Most of the time, the only person who thinks a meeting is important is the person who called the meeting. But what if you really wanted to remember that meetings tend to make participants dumber, and tend to negatively impact overall productivity?
Or, more broadly, have a better shot of remembering things you really want to remember? Don’t take photos.
In a study published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, researchers evaluated the effectiveness of a variety of memory-boosting strategies: taking photos, typing notes, and writing notes by hand.
As you can probably guess, people who wrote notes by hand scored the highest on subsequent recall and comprehension tests, even when people who took photos or typed verbatim notes were allowed to review those items before they took the tests.
Or maybe you couldn’t guess that: The researchers also found that “learners were not cognizant of the advantages of longhand note-taking, but misjudged all three techniques to be equally effective.”
So why does taking notes by hand work so well? According to the researchers:
Longhand note-takers mind-wandered less and, in turn, demonstrated superior retention of the lecture content.
Which makes sense. Taking a photo requires no “mental participation” at all. You don’t have to consider, synthesize, decide how you’ll capture the information in shorthand, etc. Typing notes verbatim — for example, transcribing a lecture or meeting recording — is more of a process than a thought exercise. The focus is on accuracy, not retention. (I can type fast enough to capture everything someone says in real time, but that doesn’t mean I remember any of it without reviewing what I’ve typed.)
Maybe that’s why Richard Branson carries a notebook everywhere he goes. (Literally: I’ve seen him with one at least 10 times.) Summarizing, putting concepts or ideas in your own words, deciding not just what to write, but how to write it — all those things engage different parts of your brain, and therefore improve your retention and recall.

EIN Presswire: As National Handwriting Day Approaches, New Data Resource Challenges Classroom Myth (PRESS RELEASE). “The interactive resource, published by Handwriting Success, provides the first comprehensive, state-by-state overview of handwriting education standards and related legislative mandates across all 50 states.”
https://rbfirehose.com/2026/01/25/ein-presswire-as-national-handwriting-day-approaches-new-data-resource-challenges-classroom-myth-press-release/If someone knows of an on-screen handwriting input application for linux - like a keyboard but for handwriting - please let me know.
The ones I found are based on tesseract OCR, which targets typed font, or use Wine to run Microsoft's Surface software. Neither is a proper option.
Kind of shocked Gnome or KDE don't have one for their on-screen keyboards.
Glorious Handwriting Day!
I wondered how long it would take me to handwrite one of my chapters. And ouch! I give up. It's lovely, and meditative, but that is not as easy as it seems. I'll manage it one day. Just not today.
It does seem fun to add the letters within the novel as handwritten in there.
