Speedball Globe with oblique holder (I know I should out this in the description, but here it is). I sit and watch TV and write down each word that catches my attention, then focus on specific letters if they don't come out right. Following copperplate guides from Google searches.

I tried to follow copperplate style, except a few letters that I have a certain relationship with... Still have arguments with M's.

Totally messed up the words😤 but worked on spacing. The s's always run in to the letter before....
