i used to write my full name in cursive and just exaggeration the capital letters, loop back to the t to cross it. it took too much time so i just started doing the first capital, then zig zags to resemble the letters and a big loop for the t. now it’s just the K, a wave and a loop back

when i‘m not writing slow and intentional (ie note-taking, journaling) i write as a mix of cursive and print. also when i write fast i do a lot of shortened versions of things - i.e. int’l, ex., +, and so on. also! i cannot write in a straight line on a blank surface + my handwriting is huge (this is not a college-ruled notebook lol) so i have a hard time filling out forms no matter what i try lol
for a while i tried making my letters and numbers fancy but i gave up lol. my capital Ms are nice though and i loooove a cursive capital J, Z, or L… those have got to be my favorite letters in cursive. lowercase f is also great
i can’t believe they aren’t teaching kids cursive anymore!!

i remember sitting on the floor in preschool and practicing writing 'E', and even though I understood the general shape of it, i guess i didn't realize that the amount of horizontal lines on it actually mattered so i just kept drawing more and more of them until it looked sort of like a hair comb.
one of the teachers or maybe another student told me i had done it wrong and showed me what an E looked like––only three lines. i thought to myself "wow i was making that a lot more complicated than i needed to. thank god every E going forward won't be so much work"

my name is too long and my handwriting is too bad to ever develop a good looking/legible signature, I don’t try anymore and it’s a different scribble every single time
