So I've been hitting the books again. And in this time around, for maximum retention, I am forcing myself to handwrite all my notes.

But I have learned that I am horribly out of practice at writing. My brain seems to fart and write the wrong letters all the time. And all I seem to have around are pens. 😅 So I've ordered myself some pencils to clean up my notes. For now. I still kind of prefer pen, but if I keep fucking up while I'm writing......its just a mess and I have Kind of have horrid chicken scratch to start with. Never really been the neatest in my penmanship.

Anyways, just kind of musing at the fact that I feel like I'm so bad at handwriting.

Phones fucked us for sure. It's the same for me. 🤣

slow down. think about each letter in each word as you're forming the letters with your pen.

in modern times hand writing is done rarely so the muscle memory is gone. when you slow down and write the common words and common letter combinations over and over again, you will get the muscle memory back and be able to write quickly again.

Slowing down is actually a really fair point. And Maybe doing some practice again.

it is really weird feeling in the beginning when you write slow. it feels like your brain is sooo slowww...

you can also practice with pangrams which include every letter in a sentence. the most well known being the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

In government school, my 3rd grade teacher gave me detention to practice my penmanship where I had to spend the hour really slowing down to focus on each and every letter in print AND cursive. It definitely rewired something in my brain because now, my elderly friends and neighbors compliment my handwriting when I send cards or leave notes. 😅 So, uh, punish yourself!
