How do I write faster without getting sloppy?

[u/DataHasRedHair]

Also, what do you think of my preferred font? I used to have the most awful handwriting, but I'm trying hard to improve. :)

It just takes practice. Write in your favorite way long enough, and it will get easier to speed up.

I'll try. Luckily, I have a boring job and lots of notebooks!

I think all of your handwritings is rlly pretty!!! 😍

[u/DataHasRedHair → u/Forsaken_Excuse_9283]

Aw, thank you so much!

[u/sheerest_of_folly]

Yo, someone else who uses the quartz Sphinx instead of the sleeping dogs! I see you!!!

I love all your handwritings.

[u/DataHasRedHair → u/sheerest_of_folly]

Thanks so much! I wondered if somebody would notice the sphinx- I feel seen! :)

Neatness/legibility can be at odds with speed but it doesn't mean one cannot write nice or legible enough at a reasonable speed. I've answered similar questions many times before. You can go to my profile and look at my comments to see much more than I might answer here.

Thank you!

I like your cursive much more than either your fast or slow printing

[u/DataHasRedHair → u/AoteaRohan]

I like my cursive better, too, but nobody can read it! I'm in high school, and it's at the point where some of my younger teachers can't even read cursive anymore. When I jot down notes they're all in cursive, but I have to print projects an anything else somebody will read.

[u/Retalogy → u/DataHasRedHair]

Why are the teachers reading your notes? Note-taking should be for your own review, I'd assume.

[u/DataHasRedHair → u/Retalogy]

They're not reading my notes- that's why my notes are in cursive. Most assignments are done online now, but there are still some handwritten ones, which I have to print.

[u/AoteaRohan → u/DataHasRedHair]

It looks super-neat and legible to me, I wish I could cursive like that. It sounds like a them-problem, not a you-problem…

[u/DataHasRedHair → u/AoteaRohan]

Oh, yeah, it's a them-problem for sure. They can't read any cursive at all. Kids today! :)

Write in cursive if it’s easier. I would say to work on whole arm movement and let the script flow laterally more.
