My handwriting is gooseberry fool

Mine is a mishmash really. If I try I can write very nicely, but normally it's got blocks, random joined up letters, capitals. It's readable though at least.

Mine's gooseberry fool.

Left handed so my already terrible writing gets smudged.

This is a representative sample from my work notepad

Did you have a stroke while writing that?

Yes, and I came shortly after I put the pen down.

I'm so glad you were kind enough to provide a before photo as opposed to the after version. Your handwriting is hard enough to read as it is.

Was going to do an example of my writing but my pen has run out and my replacement cartridges are all at work..

I smudge everything.

Also a leftie. This was written with minimal effort, so no 'trying my best to be neat or fancy'. Just typical written scribble.

Mine is terrible but at least I have a good excuse for it.

I used to have horrendous handwriting. My Year 5 teacher wouldn't put up with it and made me do handwriting classes - though it doesn't help that those bloody orange handwriting pens are atrocious.

It didn't improve much until I started sitting next to girls and saw how neat their handwriting was, so I started copying them. It's quite nice now, if I make an effort. Hate using anything other than a ballpoint, though. I bought some Bic Ultra Round Stic Grips from America and they're really nice. I spent a good chunk of my job scribing for others or writing and they're nice to use all day.

You're training to be a Doctor right? I thought it was part of medical school that they taught you how to write in the messiest way possible.

My handwriting is not a pretty thing, it looks kind of angry actually, but I reckon it's about readable.

I've had that cartidge in for like 9 months, I very very rarely write. Being at a computer near enough all day every day means writing generally unnecessary.

And i only have the one pen as I am picky about stuff and it is the only pen i have found that I can write with comfortably when I have to.

See? Readable.
