Feedback (constructive criticism) Fix my handwriting!!!!

Post image

(Yes, it was taken on my floor.) I’m fine with any comments really. I dont like my handwriting and I really want someone to fix it so why not come to the reddit for handwriting. Yes my A’s are curved at the top. My handwriting is quite messy and it looks bad so can i get some tips on how to fix it? I’m still in high school and my teacher has worsening sight so sometimes she cant see my writing. Can anyone help?

You look like you're in a hurry. Lol

You should learn cursive. Your ds and fs already show that you’ve got the instinct for it. You don’t need to master beautiful or perfectly consistent cursive—just learning the basics would be enough, and you’ll do great.

You’ll be able to write quickly, but still keep it readable and pleasant to look at. I think that’s your goal—to write fast, yet still be understood.

Some people learn to write cursive so they can write fast cause ironically they hate writing 😂

And of course any of those cursive for beginners courses on YouTube actually does help. 😊

Mastering the basics of cursive only takes around 1–2 weeks, as long as you practice daily. It doesn’t require much time—just 15 to 30 minutes a day. Trust me, you’ve got this. Plus, it’s actually kind of therapeutic, lol. After a month of practicing, you’ll notice your handwriting has improved—and honestly, you’ll be a little proud of how not-too-shabby it looks.

Whenever I see someone’s handwriting with their t’s, s’s, f’s, or d’s slipping into simple cursive, I always encourage them to give cursive a proper shot. And almost every time, they come back telling me they’ve started liking their handwriting more.

You see, when certain letters naturally come out in cursive, you’ve already made a subconscious choice to write them that way. So why not go all in and make your whole handwriting flow?

Sure, it might not feel natural at first—but with time, you’ll develop your own unique style based on cursive. And remember, you’re not aiming for perfectly refined handwriting—just something that feels good and looks like you.
