Do you like your handwriting?
It's rare that I need to write something by hand these days, but my handwriting has always been something I've been borderline self conscious about. I wish at 28 there was a way to improve it, but I've had the same handwriting since the 6th grade  I doubt there's much I can do about that now.
How about you ... are you happy with your handwriting?

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
My handwriting seems to bother other people more than it bothers me. It is legible but very sloppy looking and very obviously left handed. I get the rudest comments sometimes but then I ask,"can you tell what I was trying to say?" and the answer is yes. People can be annoying!

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
I think I have pretty good handwriting. If I concentrate on what I write, it is excellent. I used to write absent-notes in high school for my friends because my handwriting was do good it looked like something a parent would write

Not a huge fan. I'm not great writing on the board either. Smart Boards are awesome for that...it takes your handwriting and makes it into text.

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
I used to have beautiful penmanship. I would get tons of compliments and it's dorky but I was really proud of it. I loved to write, would practice it, etc.
But several years ago I developed what was thought to be a nerve disorder and now is believed to be focal dystonia aka "writer's cramp." My handwriting got progressively worse to where it is now. I can no longer hold a pen properly; often it goes flying out of my hand. It takes a lot of work to write a simple sentence and it is very upsetting to me. Especially because I am a high school English teacher/SAHM and don't know what I'm going to do when I go back to work.

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
Are we only talking about cursive? If so, I hate mine-I write like a child. I'm jealous of people with beautiful cursive handwriting. I love the blend of femininity and confidence it exudes.
My print is better. I teach so it's pretty on point when I'm at the board but it's basic with no personality-it looks like the alphabet. When I write a letter, I print but tend to take shortcuts and link some of my letters together.

My kids are always asking what I'm writing on the board because my handwriting sucks! I don't really care because, for the most part, people can tell what I'm writing!

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
I have always had terrible handwriting. I hate it. probably actually needed OT as a kid, but it wasn't given as readily as it is now. I can't cut a straight line either, so there are definitely some hand-weakness and visual-spatial issues!

Yes. I have always been pretty anal about having very neat, legible handwriting. It drives me nuts if my handwriting looks sloppy, I will rewrite it!

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
I like my handwriting, both script & print. I get compliments on how clear it is & easy to read.
Credit goes to my mother who when I was a little kid would make me practice my letters over & over & would actually erase it if it didn't look good & make me rewrite it until it was perfect.... I hated it at the time but for that reason, having neat handwriting is natural for me now.

Re: Do you like your handwriting?
I have spectacular handwriting when I try, but I rarely put in the effort and more often than not my handwriting looks like it came from a toddler.

Yes, I am very neat and have great handwriting. Everyone always compliments me on it. And so many people often ask if I went to Catholic school because I have that "catholic school" script.

I rewrite if I think it isn't neat enough and that is why whenever I have to sign a birthday card I get so nervous! I usually write a short blurb to the person, rather than just signing my name. I always feel like if I mess up, there will be NO do-overs! When I was younger I used to be super anal about it and I'd buy a second card as backup. Yeahhhh I don't do that anymore, I just take my time writing it the first time!

It's funny because I meant print - and it just occurred to me that I can't remember the last time I wrote in script! (besides writing my signature of course!)
A quick story- when I was in elementary school we learned cursive in 4th grade and my teacher (who I never liked) said that for the rest of our lives we won't be able to write in print again and how starting in 5th grade it wouldn't be allowed.. I used to get so nervous because I hated writing in script! Well .. I went to 5th grade ... and that teacher never made us write in cursive. Like - ever! 
I really wish I had better "cursive writing" education as a kid! We learned it a little in 3rd grade, primarily in 4th, and that was it!
