may seem trivial, but this helps me feel more confident in the things I write down and encourages a more positive self-image of my brain.
also, it’s not that hard. you basically just need to slow down.

but not having the wherewithal to do it correctly. also sometimes i get bored (distracted?) and hold my writing instrument in silly ways just to see how my writing turns out. anyways, handwriting is a lost art form and i find it to be very interesting and an intimate way to learn about someone

if i'm not on a time crunch, i will always try to hand write the first draft of all my creative writing projects. this makes me take it slower, think more about the words i'm putting down. it also acts as the first round of editing whenever i type it into my computer so i'm one step closer to a finished project. there's some so much more satisfying about being able to look at the progress made on a story that is hand written rather than typed in a computer.

the lines(/dots) mark the end of my descender space!!! not my bottom line!! (i researched handwriting terminology terms 4 this post) i feel like it’s more readable…….. plus it makes me write super small, which is not only satisfying but paper efficient :))))

a good lesson in patience and being ok looking like shit on purpose for a while. also fun to tend to it like a little garden on your face.

Way harder than I thought it’d be but not bad for my first try. My lack of skill somehow gives it extra charm instead of looking like shit. Turns out embroidery is a forgiving medium.
