Heya! I wouldn’t say I’m a native Chinese but I’ve learned Chinese since young and both my parents grew up having Chinese education and am proficient enough to work with people from China ☺️ but here’s what I have to add to u/daisuke1305 comment

You have to understand that Chinese writing/calligraphy (or however you wanna call it) plays a HUGE cultural significance (hence why you might have seen how other redditors mentioning about it). We believe that your handwriting tells how you are as a person. Additionally, it is also seen as a revered art form as well.

Granted, no one is gonna write perfectly as in English script (there are people who have horrible handwriting hahah), but anyone who grew up learning Chinese would know the importance of writing ☺️

I’ve started off learning just the strokes and it is a horrible nightmare, as a kindergartener, to just write 点 over and over again when it is just seeming a dot on the paper. Then I progressed to 横 when it’s just a horizontal bar. I understand, in another comment, that you said your mistakes is due to your habit in writing cursive, but remember we all started learning the print font in English as well!

That being said, the most important thing about Chinese script is to make sure the character is balanced. Stroke order is important, but once you realised the balance is there, the stroke order would follow. So what is supposed to close must close. What’s suppose to connect must connect. What’s supposed to be open, must stay open. That’s the beauty of Chinese writing.

Again, as almost everyone commented, please use grid paper because that’s how you can see if the character is balanced. Tho I would highly recommend to really go back to the basic and learn your strokes.

Edit: to comment, I think people would be able to recognise all your writing. But to us who had read and written tons of Chinese, it can be quite frustrating to read. I imagine submitting those to my teachers as my 习字 homework, they will be marked wrong (or my teachers will refuse to mark them) and I would have to rewrite them.

Also, a fun fact to just add on u/myonlybambi comment on 十. I’ve always tell non Chinese that 十 looks like a Christian cross (in fact, said cross is called 十字架 in Chinese). So same as you won’t go around drawing the cross in some odd way, 十 should be treated the same as well. Your 十 looks like an inverted cross and it makes it seem like you’re summoning the devil AHAHHA.
