The teacher in my school (all of them actually) let us write the whole lesson down on our notebooks, and sometimes when they give us to copy some sort of paragraph or whatever, I always start writing slowly and try to have a beautiful handwriting, but then I start drifting in my thoughts and thinking about my other homework and stuff, I start writing faster which makes my handwriting sloppy again and ugly.
I've always wondered why my hand writing always turned out bad. I was pleased the way my drawings came out. I then realised that my drawings turned out better cause I actually put time and effort in to them. From being in school. I learned to write as fast as I possibly can to keep up with the rest of the class. So I could get all the notes down I wanted. Even though nobody else could read it.
Think of handwriting as drawing, because it is. The exact same lines in penmanship are the same line elements used in drawing. There are only five. Straight line, curved, circle dot and angle. There are no others. It's all line making. Practice. Practice in the air with your finger. Visualize the letter with eyes closed. Do it on paper with your finger. Get the memory of it in your mind before you pick up a pencil. And yes, start with a pencil because you are drawing. Right handed? Slant your paper to left. Left handed? Slant your paper to the right. Hold pencil correctly. Relax, breathe. Make circles with your hand and wrist, not fingers. Try it may help.
I write terribly. I'm not lazy about it either. I just find writing uncomfortable and I cant keep up with how fast I can think. Thank God its 2015 and I can simply type almost everything. Side note:I do think I'm a bit dyslexic, but I haven't been tested, in my country no on cares as long as you can get good grades either way.
johnny vaughan it gets annoying but I am left handed so I know it's normal when your left handed for your handwriting to suck but then I remember I have ADHD and I am still a honor roll student
#7 (writing too quickly) is my biggest downfall. But I would add one more--writing too small. I like 4mm grid paper, but this makes for tiny handwriting. When I use normal wide-ruled paper my letters really open up and almost looks decent. I just tried changing my grip to what you show in the video, and it already helped me with tilting my letters. So, thanks for the tip! Now back to practice...
My teacher made me do a handwriting course at 7 years old, back then it was seen as a bad thing for all the kids with crooked letters. But looking back, I am so grateful!!! I have a pretty handwriting style and it’s from what I learned at the age of 7. Lots of alphabet drills
Thank you for this video! I did learn handwriting in elementary school, but got involved with computers at an early age and learned to type. So, as a adult, I am a fast and accurate typed, but have atrocious handwriting. I just started reading and doing the exercises in The Artists Way. I am hoping that the added practice of writing out my morning pages and other exercises will give me a chance to improve my handwriting. :-D
In highschool I realized I was holding my pen wrong. I changed the way I held it, and my handwriting changed completely. Not Beautiful, but legible. I write as fast as a think, but that makes me sloppy. Also I get my letters mixed up so I have spelling errors. I also never learned to properly type so I prefer writing by hand.
I'm a handwriting nerd. It's a pleasure for me. I also am a paper and writing instrument snob. I probably spend more time on my planner and lovely lists than the doing of the stuff. LOL! But my husband is a messy ADD lefty drummer. It's a right-handed world and I think left-handers need a separate set of handwriting instructions. I'm forwarding this video to him. Lol! ~jennyinseattle
***** I'm a southpaw. The best thing for messy leftie-scrawlers is to alter your position. I sit sideways to the desk, with the paper almost parallel to the edge. The writing is effectively "downwards", towards me. There is less of the smudging (I use fountain pens) and I don't obscure the letters as I write them.
+BohistaNordica being taught to write in a right-handed world taught me that 'wonky' way I hod my pen! If I held it normally, it would all slant backwards! :-)
Worst feeling ever honestly. I used to be competitive when it comes to writing fast when I was still young, when I just turned mature realizing I need to study more often. I can definitely feel the pain of having unorganized books full of words that I cannot understand. When I look at one of the smartest students, their notes looks 100x more organized than mine, and it looked like they study far more comfortably than I do, the jealousy is just high.
Don't waste time being jealous - learn from your understanding of this situation. congratulate yourself that you are mature enough to have the insight - then do the work to catch up and organise yourself - it will pay off in the end. You are allowed to change!
I get excited. Idk why. The closest I could resemble it is when I dog is wagging its tail. I get that rush, it's just my personality and it shows in my writing 😂
My poor handwriting caused me problems in school and still embarasses me now as a senior citizen. In my twenties I found a book on improving handwriting and after much practicing it did improve. If I don't practice fairly regularly then it deteriorates. As a child I had teachers who wanted assignments written with a fountain pen others with a ball point pen. None accepted pencil written work and yet this was the most legible writing I could produce. I think because the pencil didn't slide over the paper so fast I had better control. I also think that I just can't remember a manual skill unless I practice regularly. My muscles "forget" the correct movements. I cannot remember dance steps, either. I am not competent at any sport either except hiking and swimming which don't need much skill. Now, even when I practice , my handwritng, although fairly neat and legible, lacks a distinct character, it looks more like the hand of a child.
Mix between 1, 2, and 7. Biggest problem is when I went from print to cursive and then back to print. My thinking sped up and so did my writing, but then print slows me down but not my thinking. My typing is sometimes bad because I think faster than I can type.
Same! My typing is a little faster now , but not as the traditional rest your fingers on the little bumps. My hands hover above the keyboArd and my fingers scramble away to find the keys ..
i used to have a nice hand writing with my self taught cursive.. but thing changed after high school and later collage where i need speed to copying down note rather than having my note look nice... i can always read my hand writing, but for everyone else.. good luck.. and now that being an IT technician, i almost work exclusively with a keyboard.. so my handwriting really down the drain.. T_T
Astro i actually got A+ in english in high school and english literature... because of that, i get to skip english class in college which i graduated 10 years ago... i dont really care about grammer and spelling when posting on the internet cause it doest really matter, i'm just bullshitting not not writing a thesis....
Thank you for a totally brilliant video on handwriting and how to fix it. Yes, learning how to hold the pencil correctly is key, so is slowing down, and not giving yourself the excuse you can't change it. When I taught my preschools in ABC order with only 3 lines it fell apart after the capital C. One of my kids said, "If it is so important to start capital C under the top line, why isn't there a line there?." So I went to the teacher's supply store to see if anybody had added a line under the top line. Nobody had. Eventually, I figured out a line under the middle line would help even more. Lastly, I started out with the easiest to make letters first and figured out the different ways they get progressively harder, and put them into 11 groups. I drew my 5 Lines with a permanent marker on my blackboard (which was was green) at kid level and started over. When my kids could practice, see, and discuss what good letters look like they could make them on their own with a little feedback. Within three weeks my 5-year-olds were printing better than their parents.
1 disleyic 2 spcific learning disability 4 hard grip Mind goes faster than hand. Bad spelling. My hand writing improves dramatically when I copy and spell it correctly when copying . So slowing down and spelling correctly. Thank you for the understanding of why.
I am re-watching this since it became apparent to me that my handwriting is worse than terrible. I had made notes for a writing project over a year ago and they languished in my writing book until yesterday. I am sending it to the CIA codebreakers to see if they can translate it. Until I get their findings I figured I would work on my penmanship. Thanks!
Here's a few reasons I've noticed. 1. I am lazy and impatient when it comes to writing 2. My thoughts flow faster than my writing 3. I am not able to hold my concentration on the same wird for too long it becomes a giant mess for my brain so i end up writing gibberish 4. It's not like i just need to write slowly and carefully writing full words patiently and correctly, taxes me more mentally than someone without this problem. 5. Probably some mild dyslexia that I don't want to admit lol.
Several of these 'reasons' sound very similar; YOU ARE LAZY is the main message i'm getting which is exactly the same message i got from school teachers! I am left-handed and i feel i wasn't taught well for my handedness. I also have slow-processing speed which compounded the problems at school. Could you perhaps do a video which addresses these issues please?
I think you are right, they are similar, but I'm not saying you are lazy, I'm saying that you haven't learned to stick at something. To get good at anything, you have to practice every day. Practice isn't just doing the same thing each day, it is learning to improve on what you did the day before. Look at your work and see what is wrong with it. Then practice or rehearse how to correct it. Then decide to keep working on that until you can do it without thinking. Then find something you did really well and praise yourself for it so you finish feeling good about the good bit and the great decisions you made about correcting the not so good bits. It takes time but there is no rush. Everyone can to this at the pace that suits them. Keep working at it and you will; get there in the end. (If that is what you desire!) good luck!
my dad has very good handwriting coz he always says that in his childhood he had to write 2to3 pages of answer for 3marks in exam so he always tells me to write a lot which also helps me in improving my handwriting
Interesting stuff. I’m a 45 year old psychologist who primarily does psychological evaluations, so lots of report writing. I have always been a pretty good writer but my hand writing has always been quite poor. Moreover, over the years my handwriting has become markedly worse. When I interview patients I have to jot down notes rather quickly (I should learn formal shorthand) and they are embarrassingly sloppy and look as if a 4th grade boy wrote them. I’m wondering if I have an inappropriate grasp that may be exacerbating the problem. If I have to write anything lengthy my hand muscles will actually burn. I’m going to try a new grip! Cheers!
I’m nearly 50 and my handwriting has never improved from childhood. It’s so bad I’m embarrassed to write something other people will see. Feel better for saying that. Thanks.
Wow, a kindred spirit. Every problem you describe having, I have exactly the same - except my handwriting is even more illegible than yours and I have been known to miss out sentences or more because I thought them but my hand never actually got them down. One thing I did notice when you were talking about finding a rhythm and slowing down, I watched a video by a really good calligrapher and I noticed that he really did have a rhythm, not just a flow - he would stop very slightly just before each stroke of the pen giving a pulse to his writing. I have been trying that and it stops one of the things we both do, starting to write the next letter before you have finished the one you are already writing (I have another even weirder one, on the first slanting downslope of the capital letter "M" I unconsciously try to insert another small capital "M" creating a wiggle, or even the full letter in the down slope). A great video, nice to see I am not the only one to have all these issues.
WELL IT SUCKS WHEN YOUR LEFT HANDED AND YOUR PUSHING AGAINST THE GRAIN IT SUCKS SO MUCH!!!!! sorry for the rant I'm just so annoyed my writing is all over the place. any advice from a left hander??
Silver Kitty Try a different pen, try using it first before buying. Try researching different pen holding and gestures for left handed people. Try it and use what works for you. :)
Silver Kitty Welcome! Oh, and don't forget to consider buying a pen with a fast drying ink. So your writing wont smudge. Just practice and practice and you'll gat there. Good day mate 👍
I draw most of the time and I like to think that I am very good. However, that talent does not translate very well to my writing. When I start to write, my hand writing is even and smooth.... But the more I write, the smaller my letters become, than larger, and smaller...So I think my problem can be fixed, thanks to your video. Thank you!!
I didn't make notes in lectures. In exam, I wrote terribly. Somehow I made it through by generous spacing & concised phrase (so that I wrote less). Now, I'm in a clinical setting where everything needs to be written on paper (and to be done fast). It's obvious I need to practise right now rather than watching more other videos on tips to improve. Thanks for the advice!
Yeah, I've done online school since kindergarten. At one point, I stopped writing notes entirely because my wrist would cramp and make popping noises at every letter, and I couldn't read it afterwards. When I use my computer, it's easy, and I can type full paragraphs with long words in minutes, and it was extremely easy to follow my mind's speed. However, when I try to handwrite the same things, I take hours on the same passage, I forget the important details, and I've shortened entire sentences into acronyms without realizing it because my mind was taking shortcuts to make the pain stop faster. I can write a few lines and it looks decent, but by the end, I can't even read it. I also mix up my b's and d's when handwriting, as well as my m's and n's. I don't know how to get around it. 😭
I have dysgraphia, which is a learning disability that affects writing. I’ve tried everything from holding the pen differently to practicing my handwriting more but it remains mostly illegible. I don’t know what to do about it anymore :(
try a Jedi mind trick! Stop telling yourself you have dysgraphia and tell yourself, everyday that you have beautiful handwriting and that you love practicing it - writing beautiful things. The trick is to keep at it - keep telling yourself - and then work at it every day. Take it seriously and work at it intelligently. This is your big project of the year - maybe even aim to win (or just enter) a handwriting competition. If you can do that - you can prove to yourself that you can do anything! (Hard work though :)
God where do I start , my handwriting is shocking . Inconsistent just awful, I’m 50 years old and an engineer when I make notes at work I can’t read what I’ve written, I’ve been like this since childhood and it’s quite embarrassing,, I need help
I'm left handed, and I know a lot of left handed folks use the "hook" method to make up for the italicizing. I purposely taught myself to rest the pen on my ring finger rather than my middle finger to avoid the "hook" method. So now, I write straight and neat
You know when the teachers put some notes on the whiteboard and urge you to jot this down because he's gonna wipe it away? Yeh I always rush and my handwriting is barely legible and all over the place, I try and simplify notes and even then I struggle.
It was really hard last year because my social studies teacher had a thing were we took notes on every paragraph we read and this wouldn't be all that bad if it weren't that the time limit was like a minute and thirty seconds. Eventually my handwriting had to get sloppier because nice handwriting just took way to much time.
I'm pretty late at this right now, but.... LEFT-HANDERS UNITE! Urrgh half my classes make me do hands on projects with scissors, and people wonder why my cutting is so slow and sloppy.... -_-
I'm 13 and in year 6 I was taught how to do cursive writing every week. It really helped me and I have amazing handwriting now, people comment on how good my writing is all the time.
I literally went to handwriting class and had special pencil holders to place my fingers correctly. Nothing ever worked. What was really messed up was people told me I "wrote like a boy". What does that mean? But I do often write a word and forget the first letter. I have a learning disorder but I wasn't diagnosed till after high school.
+connie cunningham I used to write in a really cold house and my hands used to ache with cold. Check the temperature of your room, especially if you are doing lots of writing or drawing. it might help. :)
I think the fact that I wrote with my right hand but I am a left handed(only knew when I grow up, people telling me I am holding the bow and arrow the lefy handed way etc.)
I’m just lazy I was diagnosed with dyslexia when was younger but I don’t believe it plus they said I don’t have it anymore and my handwriting still is bad
I have reason 7, I write too fast, maybe because I got used to it cause our teachers would write long ass lectures on the board and then erase it right after, so while they write we have to follow as fast as possible... So now I can't stop it, help.
the way I improved my handwriting was writing my alphabet out normally, then I took about 5-10minutes doing a really neat one then I carried on copying that neat one (getting faster slowly) to get my hands in the flow of the pen and now my handwriting is quite neat (I did it once a day for a couple of weeks)
People in my school used to call me the legend because my handwriting was so bad my classmates cant even read it but the teachers can read it because i keep my stuff private so i design my hand writing to be bad but the teachers will understand
I think my problem is the way I hold the pen and writing fast. So here is the thing 1. Slow down 2. Slow down 3. Slow down 4. Practice 5. Practice 6. Practice 7. Make time for writing 8. Make time for writing 9. Make time for writing Thank you!
I hold my pen really differently to others. My teachers made me hold it another way than what felt natural. For years my handwriting was terrible. When I gave up the standard pen-posture, my writing became one of the consistent things I am complimented on.
I went to a Catholic elementary school k-8th grade, and we had penmanship every year, as far as I can remember. It was one of the 'subjects' I really enjoyed (that plus Art class which was maybe once or twice a month!) We were taught how to hold the pencil, and how to sit properly while writing. I am left handed, and I never remember anyone forcing me to change. I must admit, at 59 I can still write well, but it changes depending on my mood.
I know! It's a true art form now. my daughters are in their 30s, but one of them told me ages ago that they heard a teacher say eventually script handwriting (what I called it) will eventually no longer be taught, as there will not be a need for it. Ridiculous. Can you imagine if they stopped teaching children how to write, and instead they learn keyboarding in Kindergarten?
I remember how my teachers demand us to write our notebooks in cursive, then in University most of the people didn't use cursive and at work you hardly find someone using a pen, it's only used to write less than a paragraph :( I am definitely staying attached to a paper and a pen :) and trying to improve my handwriting :) Thanks for your video! I am going to practice, practice, practice
I never necessarily had an excuse, I just never care so much about my writing and I would also write too quickly. Seeing the gorgeous handwriting on the Constitution kinda brought light to my issue.
I'm 24 and its terrible especially when I fill an application. It got worse when I broke my wrist and when I write it cramps and it locks and it messes it up
In my school I'm bad in handwriting and my classmate handwriting is good and I realize that my classmate is taking a paper and then writing all in the black blackboard and if my classmate finish and put in the notebook that's why my classmate handwriting is good. Me is I put in the the notebook and not in the paper and I'm faster writing and my handwriting is bad if my English is not correct pls correct it
sir i was the best hand writting person in my class room since 10 th standard.after that suddenly my hand writting keep on degrading.i find very difficult even putting my signature.pls give your valuable advice on it
Great channel! I actually know another reason why ones handwriting could be terrible: they have been trained to write with their non-dominant hand. It happens more often than you would think
It's pretty much all of the above for me, except for the dyslexia. I think one thing that hasn't helped either is using cheap/old ballpoint pens that require digging into the paper to get any ink out. Unfortunately, that affects how I write with everything else too. Also, I write far too small.
thanks for the video but I think you left an important one, is that u may have a bad vision, my handwriting worsened over the years as I continued to loose my eye sight.
I had decent hand writing growing up, when I caught up with technology and typing. my handwriting went down the drain. and yup i think faster than i can write which is causing me to look as if i was dyslexic. some times i flip the order of the letters or i skip some altogether. its interesting what typing does to you.
Ive been in a rush my whole life. I wanted to get things done quickly all through school. Also had dyslexia I have forced myself to read books but I have to read each page 3 times.
I have an inconsistent hand writing. my teachers from elementary to college says that my notes were written by several person. Sometimes I myself cant hardly recognize w/c one is written by me and w/c one is not. It's my struggle untill now. specially when some documents or transaction needed my signature.
I think I got the jackpot of hitting all reasons of why my penmanship is terrible; I recently learned I was ADHD and dyslexic. That kinda explained why all my friends seemingly have it easy with all the schoolwork while I felt like dying. I'll keep trying though. Futile it might be with the odds stacked upon me, I do still have a lifetime to improve. 😁
Knowing that opens everything up for you. Learn more about it and yourself and work out how you can work with the rules others have created around you. Because you think differently you actually have an advantage. Relish who you are and do well what others don't understand. Your viewpoint is precious and desired - even though others may not know it!
I am most of those besides laziness and dyslexia. Good one. I will look into those criteria. Some I already did, but most of them I could never have thought of myself. This is a good video.
At my old school my teacher used to write lot of things on the board, and then we had to write it down in one minute or even less. And she even used to give me bad grades not because i got the question wrong but because my hand writing was bad. Now in my new school they give us so much time to write stuff down but i am always the only one to finish first. Now i decided to practice everyday but sometimes my handwriting is still bad.
I used to use being left handed as an excuse, but to be fair up until i was probably like 6 i was being taught to write with my right by my teachers, until my mom noticed and found a lady that specialized on my things like my case and trained me on my left hand writing for like a year or two, its way better now and neat tho
In school, my teachers decided to use theses special pens to make sure our hands were in the right position, but I was ten. So, for six years I had been holding my pen a certain way and that all had to change. I didn't like that so I dealt with the pain of holding the pen my way. My excuse is that I read back and improve my writing so many times, the teacher can't tell what words to read!!! :)
How do you force yourself to slow down? I know I go too fast, typing is a lot easier as I can type much faster that I can write so I end up making lots of shortcuts trying to catch up with my brain which combined with compressing my handwriting and making it small makes it totally illegible. But whenever I try to slow down I can’t seem to focus on the task and my writing at the same time for very long - even writing the address on an envelope, the writing at the end will be noticeably worse compared to the start.
It's all about hard work, determination and concentration. zipping along means you can get sloppy abut things - there is s middle space where you can be slower, and keep the inspiration without making mistakes! good luck
I think my handwriting is bad because I think really fast so writing is a breeze, but I write fast to keep up with my thoughts so it gets sloppy. I'm good at drawing though.
Wait kids are supposed to connect their letters/joining them?? I’m almost 18 and non of my teachers have said anything about that, I write like a kid with one letter after another at a pretty good spacing, but I have no idea how to join them, people look at me funny when I write on paper :(
I have an essay exam I've been waiting for it in 3 yrs I'm not sure if I have the confidence to take it because of my ugly handwriting :( im 23 my handwriting has been bad since I was little.
Sir I know this video is old but u just came across it my handwriting is very bad and I’m slow in writing because they never teach me how to write when I was in KG 3 my parents changed my school and take to primary 4 I jumped into writing and now it’s really affecting me I don’t know but I blame my parents for doing that then 😣😔😔😣 I just wish I can get a teacher to teach me now I don’t mind doing anything it’s hard for me alone it’s very sad for me now😢
I can relate to the thinking too fast thing. Also, my bad handwriting covers my numerous spelling errors and it starts to become code; no one can read it. I have been making the effort to change my handwriting and make it readable but nothing seems to work that well.
My handwritting is terrible! it's so ugly that when i was a kid i always get F on formal writing. Even with drawings and stuff, i cant draw straight line with or without using ruler. do it slowly or not it is still the same. back when i was still a kid i cry alot because of that. Thankfully we got Computers , Smartphones or Tablet.
I have had hard/strong grip for years now so karma came back to bite me. My wrists have gave up on me. I also draw so it make it worse. I am going through recovery. Another reason is that i write too fast.
Now that I think about it I was taught to write exactly how you said and all the way through school and high school all the teachers saw I had terrible handwriting even my English teacher I don't think they ever tried to to help me with my handwriting

*SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO*
Reason 1. You haven't been taught well, i.e. ever since you learned 'how to write' for the first time you're on your on to improve it.
Solution 1. There is nothing you can do to your past, but ' You can start improving it right now . So prioritize your handwriting. '
Reason 2. You're too lazy , which means you're not practicing
Solution 2. Start writing regularly, "practice more"
Reason 3. You might have dyslexia ( difficulty to read and understand words properly )
Solutions 3. Dyslexia can be cured. Dyslexia therapists can help a lot in this case.
Reason 4. Wrong technique. You might be holding your pen (or pencil) the wrong way , or too tightly or loosely, or you might be putting too much pressure on the paper (or anywhere you write)
Solution 4. Improve your technique i.e. be more relaxed while writing, hold pen in different manners and stick to one which suits you the best and make a habit of holding the pen in that manner.
Reason 5. You barely practice writing.
That's because we write presentations, notes, grocery lists etc. everything on our mobile or pc.
Solution 5. Start writing regularly. Write down essays, stories, your daily activities, grocery list , notes etc. in a dairy or notebook.
Reason 6. Not analysing your handwriting.
Solution 6. While you're writing analyse the words , letters and try to improve the manner in which you shape the letters or words.
Reason 7. Your brain might be faster than your hand. Or you write very fast (kind of you're in a hurry)
Solution 7. Try to catch your brain processing speed i.e. write as quicker as your brain thinks .
Reason 8. You have too many excuses. One might be being impatient
Solution 8. Get rid of all the excuses which are not letting you improve your handwriting.

Wait.......
So you guys too!?
I've always wondered why my hand writing always turned out bad. I was pleased the way my drawings came out. I then realised that my drawings turned out better cause I actually put time and effort in to them. From being in school. I learned to write as fast as I possibly can to keep up with the rest of the class. So I could get all the notes down I wanted. Even though nobody else could read it.
me too what should i do should i learn to write slow ?
Think of handwriting as drawing, because it is. The exact same lines in penmanship are the same line elements used in drawing. There are only five. Straight line, curved, circle dot and angle. There are no others. It's all line making. Practice. Practice in the air with your finger. Visualize the letter with eyes closed. Do it on paper with your finger. Get the memory of it in your mind before you pick up a pencil. And yes, start with a pencil because you are drawing. Right handed? Slant your paper to left. Left handed? Slant your paper to the right. Hold pencil correctly. Relax, breathe. Make circles with your hand and wrist, not fingers. Try it may help.
My handwriting looks terrible so is my drawing I'm good at maths and reading and science

mine too but I normally write good handwriting
Thank you this helped me a lot
agreed. I was writing poorly, heard him say go slower and then it was better. A tip is being mindful about writing.

I write terribly. I'm not lazy about it either. I just find writing uncomfortable and I cant keep up with how fast I can think. Thank God its 2015 and I can simply type almost everything. Side note:I do think I'm a bit dyslexic, but I haven't been tested, in my country no on cares as long as you can get good grades either way.
It is now 2024👍
I write as fast as I think so my handwriting is really shitty
johnny vaughan same I am a honor roll student but my hand righting
Sucks
Popular life hacks MGF samee.
johnny vaughan it gets annoying but I am left handed so I know it's normal when your left handed for your handwriting to suck but then I remember I have ADHD and I am still a honor roll student

Your laugh is contagious. Keeps me smiling all throughout hahaha. Subbed!
Liquid Krakeeen yes i agree with you i enjoyed it very much 😁
I already know why my handwriting sucks, it's because i'm lazy, but i clicked on the video because i love listening to your voice hahah
#7 (writing too quickly) is my biggest downfall. But I would add one more--writing too small. I like 4mm grid paper, but this makes for tiny handwriting. When I use normal wide-ruled paper my letters really open up and almost looks decent.
I just tried changing my grip to what you show in the video, and it already helped me with tilting my letters. So, thanks for the tip! Now back to practice...
My teacher made me do a handwriting course at 7 years old, back then it was seen as a bad thing for all the kids with crooked letters. But looking back, I am so grateful!!! I have a pretty handwriting style and it’s from what I learned at the age of 7. Lots of alphabet drills
I turned out the opposite
I can write the same with my left and right hands and there both bad hand writing

Thank you for this video! I did learn handwriting in elementary school, but got involved with computers at an early age and learned to type. So, as a adult, I am a fast and accurate typed, but have atrocious handwriting. I just started reading and doing the exercises in The Artists Way. I am hoping that the added practice of writing out my morning pages and other exercises will give me a chance to improve my handwriting. :-D
mine is terrible. hopefully this will help :)
Hmm
Still looks shit
In highschool I realized I was holding my pen wrong. I changed the way I held it, and my handwriting changed completely. Not Beautiful, but legible. I write as fast as a think, but that makes me sloppy. Also I get my letters mixed up so I have spelling errors. I also never learned to properly type so I prefer writing by hand.
I'm a handwriting nerd. It's a pleasure for me. I also am a paper and writing instrument snob. I probably spend more time on my planner and lovely lists than the doing of the stuff. LOL! But my husband is a messy ADD lefty drummer. It's a right-handed world and I think left-handers need a separate set of handwriting instructions. I'm forwarding this video to him. Lol! ~jennyinseattle
***** I'm a southpaw. The best thing for messy leftie-scrawlers is to alter your position. I sit sideways to the desk, with the paper almost parallel to the edge. The writing is effectively "downwards", towards me. There is less of the smudging (I use fountain pens) and I don't obscure the letters as I write them.
MisterG I do this too but I write upwards. Much easier for cursive.
Ahamadou,I love you so much
+BohistaNordica being taught to write in a right-handed world taught me that 'wonky' way I hod my pen! If I held it normally, it would all slant backwards! :-)
+MisterG Oh,...I get the smudging thing! Eep while using those nice soft lovely pencils while drawing!
Worst feeling ever honestly. I used to be competitive when it comes to writing fast when I was still young, when I just turned mature realizing I need to study more often. I can definitely feel the pain of having unorganized books full of words that I cannot understand. When I look at one of the smartest students, their notes looks 100x more organized than mine, and it looked like they study far more comfortably than I do, the jealousy is just high.
Don't waste time being jealous - learn from your understanding of this situation. congratulate yourself that you are mature enough to have the insight - then do the work to catch up and organise yourself - it will pay off in the end. You are allowed to change!
Being left-handed has always been my excuse...
This man always seems to be in a great mood, I love it!
I get excited. Idk why. The closest I could resemble it is when I dog is wagging its tail. I get that rush, it's just my personality and it shows in my writing 😂
I always figured it’s because I’m writing too fast. When I slow down my hand writing is fine.
My poor handwriting caused me problems in school and still embarasses me now as a senior citizen. In my twenties I found a book on improving handwriting and after much practicing it did improve. If I don't practice fairly regularly then it deteriorates. As a child I had teachers who wanted assignments written with a fountain pen others with a ball point pen. None accepted pencil written work and yet this was the most legible writing I could produce. I think because the pencil didn't slide over the paper so fast I had better control. I also think that I just can't remember a manual skill unless I practice regularly. My muscles "forget" the correct movements. I cannot remember dance steps, either. I am not competent at any sport either except hiking and swimming which don't need much skill. Now, even when I practice , my handwritng, although fairly neat and legible, lacks a distinct character, it looks more like the hand of a child.
Mix between 1, 2, and 7. Biggest problem is when I went from print to cursive and then back to print. My thinking sped up and so did my writing, but then print slows me down but not my thinking. My typing is sometimes bad because I think faster than I can type.
Same! My typing is a little faster now , but not as the traditional rest your fingers on the little bumps. My hands hover above the keyboArd and my fingers scramble away to find the keys ..
i used to have a nice hand writing with my self taught cursive.. but thing changed after high school and later collage where i need speed to copying down note rather than having my note look nice... i can always read my hand writing, but for everyone else.. good luck.. and now that being an IT technician, i almost work exclusively with a keyboard.. so my handwriting really down the drain.. T_T
Hard to believe you're IT with that grammar you got there.
Astro I'm a IT guy, not a journalist... grammar doesnt help in troubleshooting hardware ad software problem on a server.
***** Okay let me fix it. 'Its its hard to believe you graduated high school with that grammar you got there'. Happy? ;)
Astro i actually got A+ in english in high school and english literature... because of that, i get to skip english class in college which i graduated 10 years ago...
i dont really care about grammer and spelling when posting on the internet cause it doest really matter, i'm just bullshitting not not writing a thesis....
+Astro Lol that's why you lost your argument above, you assume too much. Hit those books ma man, it'll help you avoid working at mc donalds.
Thank you for a totally brilliant video on handwriting and how to fix it. Yes, learning how to hold the pencil correctly is key, so is slowing down, and not giving yourself the excuse you can't change it. When I taught my preschools in ABC order with only 3 lines it fell apart after the capital C. One of my kids said, "If it is so important to start capital C under the top line, why isn't there a line there?." So I went to the teacher's supply store to see if anybody had added a line under the top line. Nobody had. Eventually, I figured out a line under the middle line would help even more. Lastly, I started out with the easiest to make letters first and figured out the different ways they get progressively harder, and put them into 11 groups. I drew my 5 Lines with a permanent marker on my blackboard (which was was green) at kid level and started over. When my kids could practice, see, and discuss what good letters look like they could make them on their own with a little feedback. Within three weeks my 5-year-olds were printing better than their parents.
Thanks that's really interesting - as is your channel and system! good luck!

My hand writing improves dramatically when I copy and spell it correctly when copying . So slowing down and spelling correctly. Thank you for the understanding of why.
And inability to spell as you have demonstrated
wow just had to call em out
I am re-watching this since it became apparent to me that my handwriting is worse than terrible. I had made notes for a writing project over a year ago and they languished in my writing book until yesterday. I am sending it to the CIA codebreakers to see if they can translate it. Until I get their findings I figured I would work on my penmanship. Thanks!
You can do it! Hope the CIA get your notes back for you! 😂
Here's a few reasons I've noticed.
1. I am lazy and impatient when it comes to writing
2. My thoughts flow faster than my writing
3. I am not able to hold my concentration on the same wird for too long it becomes a giant mess for my brain so i end up writing gibberish
4. It's not like i just need to write slowly and carefully writing full words patiently and correctly, taxes me more mentally than someone without this problem.
5. Probably some mild dyslexia that I don't want to admit lol.
Several of these 'reasons' sound very similar; YOU ARE LAZY is the main message i'm getting which is exactly the same message i got from school teachers! I am left-handed and i feel i wasn't taught well for my handedness. I also have slow-processing speed which compounded the problems at school. Could you perhaps do a video which addresses these issues please?
I think you are right, they are similar, but I'm not saying you are lazy, I'm saying that you haven't learned to stick at something. To get good at anything, you have to practice every day. Practice isn't just doing the same thing each day, it is learning to improve on what you did the day before.
Look at your work and see what is wrong with it. Then practice or rehearse how to correct it. Then decide to keep working on that until you can do it without thinking.
Then find something you did really well and praise yourself for it so you finish feeling good about the good bit and the great decisions you made about correcting the not so good bits. It takes time but there is no rush. Everyone can to this at the pace that suits them. Keep working at it and you will; get there in the end. (If that is what you desire!) good luck!
my dad has very good handwriting coz he always says that in his childhood he had to write 2to3 pages of answer for 3marks in exam so he always tells me to write a lot which also helps me in improving my handwriting
Interesting stuff. I’m a 45 year old psychologist who primarily does psychological evaluations, so lots of report writing. I have always been a pretty good writer but my hand writing has always been quite poor. Moreover, over the years my handwriting has become markedly worse. When I interview patients I have to jot down notes rather quickly (I should learn formal shorthand) and they are embarrassingly sloppy and look as if a 4th grade boy wrote them. I’m wondering if I have an inappropriate grasp that may be exacerbating the problem. If I have to write anything lengthy my hand muscles will actually burn. I’m going to try a new grip! Cheers!
oooh! sounds like a bad grip!
I’m nearly 50 and my handwriting has never improved from childhood. It’s so bad I’m embarrassed to write something other people will see. Feel better for saying that. Thanks.
Wow, a kindred spirit. Every problem you describe having, I have exactly the same - except my handwriting is even more illegible than yours and I have been known to miss out sentences or more because I thought them but my hand never actually got them down. One thing I did notice when you were talking about finding a rhythm and slowing down, I watched a video by a really good calligrapher and I noticed that he really did have a rhythm, not just a flow - he would stop very slightly just before each stroke of the pen giving a pulse to his writing. I have been trying that and it stops one of the things we both do, starting to write the next letter before you have finished the one you are already writing (I have another even weirder one, on the first slanting downslope of the capital letter "M" I unconsciously try to insert another small capital "M" creating a wiggle, or even the full letter in the down slope). A great video, nice to see I am not the only one to have all these issues.
WELL IT SUCKS WHEN YOUR LEFT HANDED AND YOUR PUSHING AGAINST THE GRAIN IT SUCKS SO MUCH!!!!! sorry for the rant I'm just so annoyed my writing is all over the place. any advice from a left hander??
Silver Kitty Try a different pen, try using it first before buying. Try researching different pen holding and gestures for left handed people. Try it and use what works for you. :)
sure thanks so much!
Silver Kitty Welcome! Oh, and don't forget to consider buying a pen with a fast drying ink. So your writing wont smudge. Just practice and practice and you'll gat there. Good day mate 👍
gloves
Silver Kitty am left...
I draw most of the time and I like to think that I am very good. However, that talent does not translate very well to my writing.
When I start to write, my hand writing is even and smooth.... But the more I write, the smaller my letters become, than larger, and smaller...So I think my problem can be fixed, thanks to your video. Thank you!!
Do you have a favorite ball point pen? Thanks for the videos that are helping us with drawing and writing better.
I didn't make notes in lectures. In exam, I wrote terribly. Somehow I made it through by generous spacing & concised phrase (so that I wrote less). Now, I'm in a clinical setting where everything needs to be written on paper (and to be done fast). It's obvious I need to practise right now rather than watching more other videos on tips to improve. Thanks for the advice!
My hand writing sucks like people expect girls to have good hand writing and I write like a boy 😂😂 it sucks
What does a boy write like?
Bitch stfu
It is your handwriting boys handwriting is good dummy
tf was that? so all male handwriting is shit? sexist fuckhole
Piece of shit dumb bitch
The bad handwriting in the thumbnail looks better than mine
Same man 😭
Yeah, I've done online school since kindergarten. At one point, I stopped writing notes entirely because my wrist would cramp and make popping noises at every letter, and I couldn't read it afterwards. When I use my computer, it's easy, and I can type full paragraphs with long words in minutes, and it was extremely easy to follow my mind's speed. However, when I try to handwrite the same things, I take hours on the same passage, I forget the important details, and I've shortened entire sentences into acronyms without realizing it because my mind was taking shortcuts to make the pain stop faster. I can write a few lines and it looks decent, but by the end, I can't even read it. I also mix up my b's and d's when handwriting, as well as my m's and n's. I don't know how to get around it. 😭
I have dysgraphia, which is a learning disability that affects writing. I’ve tried everything from holding the pen differently to practicing my handwriting more but it remains mostly illegible. I don’t know what to do about it anymore
:(
try a Jedi mind trick! Stop telling yourself you have dysgraphia and tell yourself, everyday that you have beautiful handwriting and that you love practicing it - writing beautiful things. The trick is to keep at it - keep telling yourself - and then work at it every day. Take it seriously and work at it intelligently. This is your big project of the year - maybe even aim to win (or just enter) a handwriting competition. If you can do that - you can prove to yourself that you can do anything! (Hard work though :)
God where do I start , my handwriting is shocking . Inconsistent just awful, I’m 50 years old and an engineer when I make notes at work I can’t read what I’ve written, I’ve been like this since childhood and it’s quite embarrassing,, I need help
I'm left handed, and I know a lot of left handed folks use the "hook" method to make up for the italicizing. I purposely taught myself to rest the pen on my ring finger rather than my middle finger to avoid the "hook" method. So now, I write straight and neat
I have problem with just... stoping sometimes and then trying to follow it up but I always mess it up
You know when the teachers put some notes on the whiteboard and urge you to jot this down because he's gonna wipe it away? Yeh I always rush and my handwriting is barely legible and all over the place, I try and simplify notes and even then I struggle.
It was really hard last year because my social studies teacher had a thing were we took notes on every paragraph we read and this wouldn't be all that bad if it weren't that the time limit was like a minute and thirty seconds. Eventually my handwriting had to get sloppier because nice handwriting just took way to much time.
Reason 1: you live in America.
Or any other country that doesn’t teach how to write in cursive.
We were taught how to read in my school
i got taught script dunno what crap education u heard about
Random Bubble Britain teaches cursive I still sick though
Dumb. American schools teach cursive.
日本？
im left handed. letters and the whole writing system is for right handed
I'm pretty late at this right now, but.... LEFT-HANDERS UNITE! Urrgh half my classes make me do hands on projects with scissors, and people wonder why my cutting is so slow and sloppy.... -_-
Ashleigh II-// Same!
I'm 13 and in year 6 I was taught how to do cursive writing every week. It really helped me and I have amazing handwriting now, people comment on how good my writing is all the time.
AGHHHH I NEVER GOT TO CONNECT MY LETTERSSS I WASN'T ALLOWEDDD
I literally went to handwriting class and had special pencil holders to place my fingers correctly. Nothing ever worked.
What was really messed up was people told me I "wrote like a boy". What does that mean?
But I do often write a word and forget the first letter. I have a learning disorder but I wasn't diagnosed till after high school.
Broke my arm right before 3rd grade. My handwriting was never the same :(
+Katie Wilson uo keepgoing Miss/Mrs
+Samuel Leake Try that again ,You keep going Miss/Mrs#
Still you can write... So that's great news :)
I just found out I'm dyslexic recently, the person who tested me said I have a weird pen grip. Can I improve my handwriting?
my hands have been arthritic and stiff almost all my life. And as a draftsman, it is very frustrating.
+connie cunningham
I used to write in a really cold house and my hands used to ache with cold.
Check the temperature of your room, especially if you are doing lots of writing or drawing. it might help. :)
I think the fact that I wrote with my right hand but I am a left handed(only knew when I grow up, people telling me I am holding the bow and arrow the lefy handed way etc.)
I’m just lazy I was diagnosed with dyslexia when was younger but I don’t believe it plus they said I don’t have it anymore and my handwriting still is bad
Anymore? It sticks with you forever...... tf
I write in hangul as im korean and when i write english my writing neater than my korean im am not sure why this but it confusion me sometimes..
I have reason 7, I write too fast, maybe because I got used to it cause our teachers would write long ass lectures on the board and then erase it right after, so while they write we have to follow as fast as possible...
So now I can't stop it, help.
the way I improved my handwriting was writing my alphabet out normally, then I took about 5-10minutes doing a really neat one then I carried on copying that neat one (getting faster slowly) to get my hands in the flow of the pen and now my handwriting is quite neat (I did it once a day for a couple of weeks)
I think this might help me thanks
I was supposed to be a lefty. I’m left eye dominant though I still remember the teacher making me write with my right hand.
People in my school used to call me the legend because my handwriting was so bad my classmates cant even read it but the teachers can read it because i keep my stuff private so i design my hand writing to be bad but the teachers will understand
I think my problem is the way I hold the pen and writing fast. So here is the thing
1. Slow down
2. Slow down
3. Slow down
4. Practice
5. Practice
6. Practice
7. Make time for writing
8. Make time for writing
9. Make time for writing
Thank you!
I hold my pen really differently to others. My teachers made me hold it another way than what felt natural. For years my handwriting was terrible. When I gave up the standard pen-posture, my writing became one of the consistent things I am complimented on.
Exactly
My handwriting is bad because I write too fast ;-; I fixed it by taking it fast but medium fast now it is nice and legible
Thanks, I love your voice
I went to a Catholic elementary school k-8th grade, and we had penmanship every year, as far as I can remember. It was one of the 'subjects' I really enjoyed (that plus Art class which was maybe once or twice a month!) We were taught how to hold the pencil, and how to sit properly while writing. I am left handed, and I never remember anyone forcing me to change.
I must admit, at 59 I can still write well, but it changes depending on my mood.
I know! It's a true art form now. my daughters are in their 30s, but one of them told me ages ago that they heard a teacher say eventually script handwriting (what I called it) will eventually no longer be taught, as there will not be a need for it. Ridiculous. Can you imagine if they stopped teaching children how to write, and instead they learn keyboarding in Kindergarten?
I remember how my teachers demand us to write our notebooks in cursive, then in University most of the people didn't use cursive and at work you hardly find someone using a pen, it's only used to write less than a paragraph :(
I am definitely staying attached to a paper and a pen :) and trying to improve my handwriting :)
Thanks for your video! I am going to practice, practice, practice
I never necessarily had an excuse, I just never care so much about my writing and I would also write too quickly. Seeing the gorgeous handwriting on the Constitution kinda brought light to my issue.
I'm 24 and its terrible especially when I fill an application. It got worse when I broke my wrist and when I write it cramps and it locks and it messes it up
My handwriting is bad because I join everything and write so fast that my writing looks more like a floating deformed snake than anything else
lol slow down and unjoin it :)
I've been joining since yr 2 and my brain works too fast I try tho it doesnt really work
For some reason my teacher never thought my me cursive writing, but I learned by my self I tried multiple times and I finally got it
In my school I'm bad in handwriting and my classmate handwriting is good and I realize that my classmate is taking a paper and then writing all in the black blackboard and if my classmate finish and put in the notebook that's why my classmate handwriting is good. Me is I put in the the notebook and not in the paper and I'm faster writing and my handwriting is bad if my English is not correct pls correct it
sir i was the best hand writting person in my class room since 10 th standard.after that suddenly my hand writting keep on degrading.i find very difficult even putting my signature.pls give your valuable advice on it
Practice and don't get anxious about it :)
Great channel! I actually know another reason why ones handwriting could be terrible: they have been trained to write with their non-dominant hand. It happens more often than you would think
Excellent.. thankyou so much for your honesty. I will show my kid this later, who is very bright but has hand writting problems.
It's pretty much all of the above for me, except for the dyslexia. I think one thing that hasn't helped either is using cheap/old ballpoint pens that require digging into the paper to get any ink out. Unfortunately, that affects how I write with everything else too.
Also, I write far too small.
thanks for the video but I think you left an important one, is that u may have a bad vision, my handwriting worsened over the years as I continued to loose my eye sight.
I had decent hand writing growing up, when I caught up with technology and typing. my handwriting went down the drain. and yup i think faster than i can write which is causing me to look as if i was dyslexic. some times i flip the order of the letters or i skip some altogether. its interesting what typing does to you.
Ive been in a rush my whole life. I wanted to get things done quickly all through school. Also had dyslexia I have forced myself to read books but I have to read each page 3 times.
when I write the ink gets on my hands and smeers on the page i try different ways to hold the pen nothing works its embarrassing
I have an inconsistent hand writing. my teachers from elementary to college says that my notes were written by several person. Sometimes I myself cant hardly recognize w/c one is written by me and w/c one is not. It's my struggle untill now. specially when some documents or transaction needed my signature.
I think I got the jackpot of hitting all reasons of why my penmanship is terrible; I recently learned I was ADHD and dyslexic. That kinda explained why all my friends seemingly have it easy with all the schoolwork while I felt like dying. I'll keep trying though. Futile it might be with the odds stacked upon me, I do still have a lifetime to improve. 😁
Knowing that opens everything up for you. Learn more about it and yourself and work out how you can work with the rules others have created around you. Because you think differently you actually have an advantage. Relish who you are and do well what others don't understand. Your viewpoint is precious and desired - even though others may not know it!
i just love how calming and nice your voice and attitude is.
I am most of those besides laziness and dyslexia. Good one. I will look into those criteria. Some I already did, but most of them I could never have thought of myself. This is a good video.
At my old school my teacher used to write lot of things on the board, and then we had to write it down in one minute or even less. And she even used to give me bad grades not because i got the question wrong but because my hand writing was bad. Now in my new school they give us so much time to write stuff down but i am always the only one to finish first. Now i decided to practice everyday but sometimes my handwriting is still bad.
rex amazing EXACTLY THE SAME!!
I used to use being left handed as an excuse, but to be fair up until i was probably like 6 i was being taught to write with my right by my teachers, until my mom noticed and found a lady that specialized on my things like my case and trained me on my left hand writing for like a year or two, its way better now and neat tho
In school, my teachers decided to use theses special pens to make sure our hands were in the right position, but I was ten. So, for six years I had been holding my pen a certain way and that all had to change. I didn't like that so I dealt with the pain of holding the pen my way.
My excuse is that I read back and improve my writing so many times, the teacher can't tell what words to read!!! :)
How do you force yourself to slow down? I know I go too fast, typing is a lot easier as I can type much faster that I can write so I end up making lots of shortcuts trying to catch up with my brain which combined with compressing my handwriting and making it small makes it totally illegible. But whenever I try to slow down I can’t seem to focus on the task and my writing at the same time for very long - even writing the address on an envelope, the writing at the end will be noticeably worse compared to the start.
It's all about hard work, determination and concentration. zipping along means you can get sloppy abut things - there is s middle space where you can be slower, and keep the inspiration without making mistakes! good luck
I think my handwriting is bad because I think really fast so writing is a breeze, but I write fast to keep up with my thoughts so it gets sloppy. I'm good at drawing though.
Maybe it's because I'm a lefty but I can make some pretty cool manga drawings
The worst part is that the teachers shout at you for being slow, but then they scream at u for writing untidy.
Wait kids are supposed to connect their letters/joining them?? I’m almost 18 and non of my teachers have said anything about that, I write like a kid with one letter after another at a pretty good spacing, but I have no idea how to join them, people look at me funny when I write on paper :(
I have an essay exam I've been waiting for it in 3 yrs I'm not sure if I have the confidence to take it because of my ugly handwriting :( im 23 my handwriting has been bad since I was little.
Reasons number 1 and 2 are pretty much my reasons. My school stopped teaching handwriting, and I never liked the booklets we had to do anyway
Sir I know this video is old but u just came across it my handwriting is very bad and I’m slow in writing because they never teach me how to write when I was in KG 3 my parents changed my school and take to primary 4 I jumped into writing and now it’s really affecting me I don’t know but I blame my parents for doing that then 😣😔😔😣 I just wish I can get a teacher to teach me now I don’t mind doing anything it’s hard for me alone it’s very sad for me now😢
I can relate to the thinking too fast thing. Also, my bad handwriting covers my numerous spelling errors and it starts to become code; no one can read it. I have been making the effort to change my handwriting and make it readable but nothing seems to work that well.
My handwritting is terrible! it's so ugly that when i was a kid i always get F on formal writing. Even with drawings and stuff, i cant draw straight line with or without using ruler. do it slowly or not it is still the same. back when i was still a kid i cry alot because of that. Thankfully we got Computers , Smartphones or Tablet.
I have had hard/strong grip for years now so karma came back to bite me. My wrists have gave up on me. I also draw so it make it worse. I am going through recovery. Another reason is that i write too fast.
Now that I think about it I was taught to write exactly how you said and all the way through school and high school all the teachers saw I had terrible handwriting even my English teacher I don't think they ever tried to to help me with my handwriting
never to late to start!
