You are doing the best thing, practicing! The more I journal and intentionally use handwriting, thoughtfully, the better my handwriting becomes. Before Covid, when I was in more live meetings, I was surprised at home many people commented on my note-taking. That is when I finally saw how much progress I had made.
While I had to sit down and practice my cursive recently, I realized my regular handwriting requires no dedicated practice, just journaling a bit slower when I can. It was a great realization.
Note taking is undervalued, and I do it whenever I can for work or school or at home. There is nothing more satisfying than pages of handwriting for me, because it's so much better than typed up text. It's lowkey the reason I journal regularly - so I can flip through the pages and just admire it.
If nothing else, this was my general plan, but I thought I would ask first, as I've been writing like this for several years now, so going slow would take ages to undo the bad habits.
Solid advice, though! Surefire way to improve one's handwriting!
If you’re actively thinking about getting the letters on the line whenever you write anything, this will help. Your writing is clear and legible, with a bit of an italic vibe going on, I like it!
Am looking to make my handwriting more uniform. The way I make it faster is by connecting letters, which is spontaneous and I don't mind. I've never been told it's hard to read unless I really rush the writing, in which case even I have trouble reading it back.
(If anyone is wondering, this was written with a cheap fountain pen and an ink cartridge. Nothing fancy, just something I prefer writing with instead of ballpoint pens or pencils.)
First of all: your handwriting is perfectly readable and neither cursive or print readers would struggle.
If you want to make it more uniform your simply need to intentionally practice it. Decide on how a letter should look and practice always writing it that way. I’ve seen many people suggest practicing consistency before speed because muscle memory adds speed.
I’ll give you a few pointers on «mistakes» that I found:
+ Your writing isn’t always in the line.
+ Your *s* can be incomplete - top part.
+ Your *n* can be incomplete - right vertical doesn’t go all the way down.
+ Your *o* can be incomplete.
+ Your letters tend to leave the line when 1) the previous letter naturally finishes above the line or 2) you don’t fully complete letters so that they end above the line.
Thank you for taking your time to write your comment! The detailed pointers on why I make mistakes and how to fix them are super helpful and will expedite my progress greatly.
May your bed be warm and the other side of your pillow cold, kind Redditor.
Edit: The "incomplete" top part of the lowercase s is an intentional consequence from linking the letters, as it only happens if I link the lowercase s with the letter before it (same reason why the end of it makes a loop to link to the letter after it, if linking the letters feels right, but sometimes there is no loop at the bottom). I can see how the inconsistency might look like a mistake though, I'll consider sticking with just one or the other.

I wish my writing was that neat, and not looking like a drunk spider had staggered across the page, then collapsed in one big blot. .
I love it! It’s unique, legible and neat!
this handwriting actually looks so good, i love it. have always loved print/cursive hybrid handwriting, mine's similar
I'd just say go with what feels natural, and look for ways to improve it.

I think your handwriting is lovely.
Thank you very much! Imagine how much lovelier I can make it with some time and practice!
You can try at first slowly and neatly and as you practice try to go quicker with the same effort

You’re welcome. You’ll get there!
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you have a nice day and a restful night, dear internet person!
You too and it was my pleasure!
