Improving Your Writing…

Wait! Before you think this is another grammar lesson, it’s not. I promise. Cross my heart… It’s good ol’ fashioned handwriting tips. Remember that? Writing with this little stick between your fingers and thumb?

I write a journal and started in 1989. It’s all me, my handwriting. Oh my gosh, I have a rough time with it because my hand cramps if I do an entry longer than a page. My writing is OK. It’s not horrendous like Paul’s. My daughter takes after him. My son might be on the track to average, more me.

My family: Mom, Dad, brother and sister have nice handwriting. Mine goes all over the place. No pattern except for my sloppy signature on checks. I guess I don’t want to remember I actually signed the check or credit card receipt. When I do print, the writing looks fine. Average. You can see/download my print font here. To load it, click Start > Control Panel > Fonts > File > Install New Font and locate the file where you saved it. Open Word or some other app that uses fonts and select Meryl Evans. There you have it. [ Link: RandomThink ]

    What a refreshing thought. Handwriting has become the lost art of our generation. I’ll bet most the writing we do is never even visible – you know, those credit card signature machines in retail?

    Alas, it remains children who keep us grounded. If it weren’t for them, I don’t know if I’d remember how to write!

    I tried to download your font but could not. It may be missing from the directory…?

    Thanks!

    Years ago I made an image for one my sites/blogs made out of a scanned page of my handwriting. I’ve always intended to go back to that but never have. My own handwriting, these days, has degraded to an alarming degree. So a few months back I picked up a blank journal to fill out just to stay in practice. The results have been … well, uneven.

    By the way, I hope this is okay … I downloaded your font and liked it so much I decided to use it as my text image on my site, http://www.writelife.ca

    Hope that’s okay. If not, let me know. (I didn’t like the font I had been using previously.)
