How to Improve Your Handwriting Style

Everyone has always told me that I have great handwriting- but, I'm sorry, I disagree. There's a different between style and sloppy; after a while, it transitions. Having good handwriting is a good skill to have. But here's a fun fact- people who write sloppier tend to be more intelligent because they have so many ideas, that they can't write fast enough to transfer the ideas onto the paper- I feel like I tend to have that, but I try to keep my handwriting neat, attractive, and unique. But if you're having trouble with something like this, here are a couple of tips that are sure to help you improve.

1. It could be the writing tool you're using that's throwing you off- try a pen/pencil that's more comfortable with your grip and that writes with a flow that you love. You might wanna try something different- I recommend the PILOT G2-07, it's an inkjet pen that I adore writing with. But if you're in the market for a ball point pen, I recommend the PaperMate Profile 1.4B pen. 

2. Practice using different fonts/styles of letters- try making your A's different, make all of your letters uppercase/lowercase, slant them a certain direction, make them rounder, etc. It will make a HUGE different. 

3. Practice the different styles as often as you can- because nothing is going to change overnight, and you have to strive for consistency. 

4. Nothing has to be perfect, don't make it look perfect- a little sloppiness makes it look good. If everything looks just the same and you strive for it to look this way every time, then writing is going to take a while if you have to erase that "Y" 400 times. Be sloppy with it- nobody's perfect. 

I hope this is helping to improve your style and to help you gain confidence with your handwriting. Don't ever be ashamed of your handwriting- it's a part of who you are, and sometimes, it's part of your genes. Leave a comment below and tell me if this helped you!
