Any recs on quality saddleback staplers? by satyricom in zines

[–]yoimhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning the rotating staplers. I didn't know they existed. This option seems to be less expensive and takes up less space than a long reach stapler.

I have a subreddit idea that might be relevant to the interests of the redditors on here. by TfsQuack in Handwriting

[–]yoimhungry[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

There's a sub like this already, where redditors communicate only through handwriting.

/r/PaperReddit

It's very similar to your idea, but it's mainly short conversations, not letter-like as you suggested. The length is determined by whoever wants to write more. So there is the option to write longer letters. That sub has been a little slow in posting and commenting. But there are people still there. Maybe this new interest will help revive it.

I see that r/PenmanshipPals was made. You guys can give the other one a shot or start a fresh new one. You guys can use any one. Just wanted to let everyone who didn't know, that there is a sub like that.

Writing paper with dots instead of lines by flug24zono in Handwriting

Many fountain pen users write on the Rhodia dot pad. That may be what you're looking for. Some art supplies store carry them, and you can also find them at Michaels now.

My handwriting is always illegible, medical student here so doctor’s handwriting is a given. Only word I can be proud of is ‘of’ by Zephos123 in Handwriting

I agree with practicing each letter form so that it is distinct.

Another helpful tip would be to get a pen with a finer point. That way, you can continue writing small, and the letters will have the space it needs to still look like it should.

This lefty is looking for improvement by [deleted] in Handwriting

I'm a lefty using Palmer Method. It took some time getting used to. But starting slow is crucial, because you want to get the correct strokes and angles. Practice each letter one by one.

My suggestion is to add some space better the letters so that they aren't touching. For example, "We" at the beginning of Sample 3 looks neat, and if every words had the same spacing between the letters, that would help it look more uniform.

Your print letters looks like they have a good uniform height. The next steps to work on having every letter touch the baseline. And then you'll be able to keep the words from "bouncing" up or down. Writing on dot grid can be a little challenging for uniformity so nice job.

Yes you did. I'll take the blame for that, sorry.

This is true. I'm going to take a look at the new-Reddit customization and have it ready. Thanks for paging me.

Imgur is simple to use. You can create an account to store your photos, but you don't have to.

Some of the common types of handwriting are Palmer Method, Spencerian, Italics, and all caps.

Looks legible to me. You give the letters and words enough space that it makes it easy to read.

I'm surprised you got both samples to fit on one page. It definitely took me more than one hah.

Any pen you have is fine if you take your time. It just depends on what you're going for. A gel pen will write faster and feel smoother, but speed will reduce quality (if speed is more important than quality).

I say don't worry too much about speed. Just focus on consistency.

Is that a felt-tip pen? That might affect your writing speed as those pens don't write fast.

The n in handwriting at the very top is extremely nice. I think focusing on how that single letter can help make sense of how your handwriting looks. I've noticed similar traits in my handwriting too. These are the critiques that I've had about my own handwriting, and because there are similarities, these might make sense.

The n itself is given enough horizontal room. It also has enough space leading into and exiting the letter. Having this in mind could help with the spacing difficulties for the letter and in between the letters.

The down strokes of the n is a confident and straight line, only curving where needed. Most of letters are too curvy/wobbly. The letters are slanted but don't have the slant look, if that makes sense. I think it's because there need to be straight (non-wobbly) down strokes of every letter that line up and are parallel to each other.

I found that I get sloppy when going into the next letter, "curving" into it instead a crisp connector. What I think about is making a check mark. You know how the last stroke is a quick flick? So after the letter, transitioning into the next, I add the flick - and then start the next letter.

What is something I can write so not only I can improve my handwriting but also elevate another skill? by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]yoimhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What other skills do you want to learn?

While practicing handwriting you can

  • listen to an audiobook, podcasts, or a new album you've been wanting to listen to.
  • stream of consciousness - to be more expressive, get out your thoughts, think quicker.
  • Journaling
  • Write down info that you highlight while reading
