Idk if this is dumb or not but I’ve only ever written in print and worry that it looks almost sloppy? I can read cursive fine but I keep hearing it’s being used less and less in schools. Should I learn it, would it be worth it?
Hello I am quite new into writing in cursive (2 months) but I love to do it, but I’m coming back to school in 2 weeks and I’m afraid than teachers don’t let me write in cursive because of it being ilegible
I feel like I’ve made some improvements since the last time I’ve posted here but I still find myself struggling with loops, particularly lowercase e. Half the time I feel like I barely left any room and it feels claustrophobic and scrunched. Is this a byproduct of me writing on the small side and I just need to open up my spacing?
This is my day two of writing cursive. Still I write a lot slow. I have a question tho!
If I master cursive writing, is there any way to earn through it? Is it even possible in this era of digitalization?

As my previous post got very well loved and had much appreciated support from the community, I'd like to share how I practice daily! I'll continue entertaining questions for those that have any, as well as any critique for improvement on my writing too.
i’ve never had good handwriting (last 2 images) and i’ve always been jealous of people with neat handwriting, last year i started trying to learn cursive, it’s slightly better- but it’s still extremely inconsistent and overwhelming to read.. it’s especially bad to read when i’m writing notes. I’d appreciate some advice on how to make my writing more neat and legible :) anything helps!

I'd love to improve further! It's been a year since I dedicated myself to getting better at improving my penmanship. If you'd allow me a small portion of your time, I'll listen to your advise!
I started on April 2025, been more than a year and I plan on improving a lot more.

Wrote mostly at my normal speed with a mechanical pencil. Small sections sped up, slowed down, and in pen.
Can I join the left handed community? I ask since was taught how to write by a left handed person…
I have been practising on and off for around one & half months now. I have tried almost everything (maybe trying too much here) but nothing seems to bring the kind of polish or finish I see in other peoples' writings. The same style when tried by others seems to excite me a lot more than my own🤧🥲. I know its a LOT OF PRACTICE on their part, but come on man, atleast I deserve some sort of improvement in my writing for the time & effort I put in😔... I dont even seem to have got the hang of the spacing, sizing or even the form of my letterforms. Desperately looking for some direction here, PLEASE what do I do !??
I’m left-handed and AuDHD (if that matters) so I feel like most of my personal issues with my handwriting can be attributed to rushing lol. Sometimes the letters just get bunched up and smaller, kind of scratchy. The same letters look a little different at times depending on the word. I’d like to just make it look a little prettier and more consistent.
I have hand tremors,and it's was harder for me to draw a straight line.how do I get better at drawing straight lines,or basically stop my hand shaking during writing?.it's not that bad,it's usually low shaking but still
It’s been a while and I just want to know if it’s legible. Any tips? I think I learned the American Handwriting alphabet more or less. But I’d be interested in trying out other styles or fonts.
I want to choose between cursive vs non-cursive handwriting style; to improve my handwriting and want to focus on one of the style.
I have written the same text in two styles - non-cursive (straight) and cursive (tilted).
Please help me in choosing which looks better and why?
