    I have lovely cursive handwriting and I’m proud of it

        I enjoy hand brushed lettering, but I’ve never done calligraphy. Seems to be quite different than just having nice legible handwriting, its a much more structural process, more like drafting than writing

          Somewhere in that region, yes. I find it much more of a process of drawing than writing, each individual letter gets specific attention. Maybe if you’ve done it enough you start picking up speed and start thinking about whole words.

      I wrote almost exclusively in cursive and it looks just as bad as my non-curskve writing (REALLY bad). Cursive is just so much faster and smother. Don’t gotta lift the pen for each letter.

        It took a while to relearn cursive as an adult but it def feels nice and flowy, and switching back to printing feels slower for sure
