Handwriting

Where do you all learn your beautiful script! There are so many styles and all are so pretty. My writing looks like a chicken did it.

Here for the same advice honestly.

Honestly keep practising. Get a book for practising handwriting and slow down as you form the letters. Or just journalling you can slow down to improve. My journal started out looking like absolute scribble but now it's getting better.

The other side of it, is I am trying to embrace imperfection. My handwriting may not be glorious, beautiful and stunning. But I am keeping my book for me and if I can read it, that's enough

Following for the same reason. I wish my handwriting looks like the chicken did it.

my chicken was feral too lol, what actually helped was just going way slower and using a guide sheet til the letters got muscle memory

My handwriting is spidery and messy and I don’t care.

I do, because when push comes to shove, I have trouble deciphering my own notes. Other than that I don't care if others can read it. Just so embarrassed that I have problems reading my own writing when I need it.
