I have the opposite problem of pressing my pencil/pen too lightly. When using a pen, the ink always build up at the tip of my pen and makes my writing blotty.

I think we should start a topic where everyone must hand write replies to posts. No typed WP posts allowed

I always use 0.3 mm pencils (standard here is 0.7), and I'm the only one I know who does that. It stops my writing from becoming messy, I rarely write with inc since it's impossible to correct. ^^

Too low, just above the point.
classic spidery serial killer handwriting I'm afraid

To have and hold hard topic

I used to write so hard as a child that my pencil went through the paper. (The point was very sharp.)

I learned to be a little more gentle as I would have to rewrite and rewrite if I shredded my notepaper too much. And I let my pencil get a little dull.

SWF does have nice printing. Large and easy to read.

That's what they say while watching me write,
however, the clarity of the results appear to be right.

Because of a couple problems with my hands I don't do much handwriting any more and have lost the coordination to do cursive - cursive mostly comes out with lots of cursing now. :wink:

I'll scribble short notes for projects I'm making and that's about it.

Probably a fairly typical pencil hold done left handed.

you do have beautiful handwriting, actually. i wish mine looked that artistic.

we DO need a handwriting thread. i love graphology, so that would be interesting. hope no one minds if i make it!

my handwriting is very hard. it depends on how stressed i am, as well.

I have always had bad handwriting when i hurry it. ( it is good when i am not rushed, but if i rush it gets unreadable)

as for grip i hold my pen wrong (always have, i remember the teacher putting a yellow plastic triangle thingy on my pencil to help me to hold it right, (didn't work on a long term basis).

I usually hold my pencil hard, however, I'm not sure if I hold it right or wrong, although when I was a kid I struggled holding a pencil, and just held it the way it felt comfortable for me, and that's the same way I hold it today.

Well I've also always had bad handwriting I worried when I first started College doing Pre Algebra and writing answers I'd say you can read that? You know that's a 4 etc.? the teacher would say yes I was like oh. So College teachers can read my handwriting and yet elementary can't LOL!
