This is the thread where everyone posts their handwriting and everyone else makes fun of it.

If you write your works on pen and paper, go ahead and show us an excerpt as well. If not, just post a meme sentence.

I have shitty handwriting too, but I still mostly write by hand because it gives me time to think. Text seems like I'd be writing too fast. Besides, if you're writing for yourself, all that really matters is that you can understand yourself.

How do I improve my handwriting. I was never really taught handwriting at a young age. I have god awful handwriting and it makes me feel unintelligent.
>>
>>8121038

>>8120392 here, my handwriting used to be a lot messier but I put in some effort while taking notes/doing homework assignments to change my style. A lot of it actually started because my math was hard to read, so I started putting a tail on my u to differentiate it from my v, I curled my t because it looked like a plus, I crossed my z because it looked like a 2, etc. Things ended up getting curlier in general from there for speed/consistency reasons. But yeah, just be mindful of it and put in some work and it'll start looking better.

Also, I just noticed that my high dots on i and : slash down towards the next letter, that's kinda neat.

My handwriting really warps across different alphabets, so decided to post Russian, English, and Farsi to demonstrate.

You're really cool if you know the source material without looking it up.

(Also become space-conscious at the end, so don't judge the last line of Farsi writing).

Jesus, your Russian handwriting is awful, and I feel ashamed for recognising Brodsky - by the way, pretty sure you fucked up the first line, there is no "знaчит" in the original text. And it's spelled знaчит, not знaчeт.

Your handwriting is alright. It's pretty unusual to hear about people writing letters like this in the 21st century. Why do you do this as opposed to communicating electronically? Is it just nostalgia, or do you tend to compose your thoughts a lot better when you're writing by hand or something?
>>
>>8126023

what the fuck you piece of trash this letter is disgusting
>>
>>8126041

You can't do anything decent with these fucking devices today. The pace is cocaine-binge fast. Pencil and paper force you to slow down and concentrate. It's amazing how many typographical and spelling errors people still make with proofreading tools encoded into practically everything. They aren't paying attention when they type. Their fingers work faster than their brains and the result is sloppy, disorderly prose. And there's no art in it either. Calligraphy is all but forgotten today. I am not a calligraphist, but I do enjoy writing handsome, legible things.
>>
>>8126023

Now that I look over it again I see a few possible edits that could bring improvement

>That while sober you behave as though drunk and indeed worse than drunk...

Grammatically less confusing; acoustically, somewhat less pleasing.

It doesn't matter. Whole letter is meant for the waste bin anyway.

I've always been told, since around middle school, that I have serial killer handwriting. I'm now 27 and just the other day a coworker, watching me scribbling notes down, said the same exact thing.

from one of the crit threads:
You want to say something but you think you don't think you can find a way to form a foundry and assemble these thoughts and words within your own capacity. A capacity unprotected and only approximated in the brains of the you and the brains of the ones you want to say this to.

You want to search for that node, the node that straightens your bearings in what you think you don't think you can achieve but still reveals itself to be something that you, you very much want to attempt, before the null. Sensing nothing but an indefinite yet finite decay that leads to this before the null. The you, before you lose all of your self in the what-you-don't-think-you-think-you-can-comprehend, something like that, even if it's only her.
