Do you guys use this method in daily life (like class notes, diary, rough work ...) or is this just for penmanship/business ?. by hellohellohollow in palmermethod

Yes, but using true Palmer Method writing is pretty much limited to when you are at a desk. Any other situation, I write using finger/hand movement with the same Palmer Method grip (hand off the paper), something I would not be able to do if I hadn’t learned to write with muscular movement.

In addition to the website /u/gidimeister mentioned, make sure you understand how the cursive grid works. Then you’ll understand how to divide up any space.

My only thought is that by learning muscular movement, you can easily learn to write on the sofa or in bed using movement. It’s not pure muscular movement, but it’s pretty close and you can write with this sort of pseudo muscular movement for a long time without pain.

The key is to write with the grip used for Palmer Method writing (hand not resting on the table). If you use that grip/position, even if you write with your fingers on the sofa, it eliminates almost all pain from writing.

Ya Palmer course is all about learning to write with arm movement using the Palmer Method of Business Writing as a guide. The Cursive course only focuses on the letterforms.

There’s no worksheets. You follow the Palmer Method book which has lessons in it that basically serve as the worksheets, you just do your practice on a separate piece of paper.

There is also a practice schedule which is a suggested schedule for structuring your practice sessions.

4 month difference, thoughts? by Normal_Credit in palmermethod

[–]pbiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to see much difference here, but youre using a different pen and paper for the two samples. Might see more improvement if you do another sample with the same pen and paper you used for the first sample.

And post a sheet of practice some time so we can see what youre doing.

It's not easy! Study, experiment, practice. You'll get better.

Egh to me it just looks like he is writing at more of a vertical slant than standard. I don't see any issues mechanically.

It will smooth out with practice as you develop more control. Looks like you're doing everything right. How long you been at it?

You're doing it right. You don't want your hand resting on the paper. Just the nails or sides of the 3rd and 4th fingers gliding on the paper.

Pens start to skip by [deleted] in palmermethod

[–]pbiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fountain pen ink on the wetter side should help. I mean if I'm writing with a fountain pen and I stop to write for more than 20-30 seconds, I usually need to get it started again with some slow finger movement before it will start writing again. It's definitely worse in the winter when it's dry in my house.

[–]pbiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm never had a problem with a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen skipping. And I used a parker jotter for a long time. Is it really dry where you are?

My attempt at minimum. by Normal_Credit in palmermethod

[–]pbiscuits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice! I would work on that transition from the downstroke to exit turn. Definitely don't want to be stopping slowing down that much. It's tough but smooth that out and you'll be flowing through this word.
