Answer 2

You are in the company of doctors who write prescriptions. Their illegible scrawls can only be deciphered by pharmacists, and that's scary. What if the person who fills a prescription gets it wrong, simply because he or she cannot read the script? Apparently, you did not learn good penmanship when you learned how to write cursive. Poor handwriting can also be the result of trying to write too fast. In your case, you say that practice doesn't make perfect. Well, don't aim for perfection; just legibility. Try practicing with each letter of the alphabet, concentrating on those that seem to be the most difficult. If all else fails, you can always print. I know a lot of folks who print instead of writing in long hand. And if you really need something that's readable, such as a job application or legal document, there's always the good old typewriter. Most written material these days is done on the computer/word processor. I know how frustrating it is to try and read chicken scratches. I once worked for a boss like that, and the only way I could figure out what he was saying, was to ask him.

I admire the fact that you want to improve your handwriting. That's half the battle won. So keep on practicing, even though you may consider it a exercise in futility. Eventually, you will improve, because you have the right attitude and incentive. Have you ever considered an adult education class in penmanship? That may be another option for you. Good luck!

Answer 3

Well you have to go back to the old times when you were first learning to write.

We had books with ruled lines that were spaced wide apart and we had to write each letter neatly in between the top and bottom line without it going over the line.

Take a book with ruled lines and start writing each letter of the alphabet slowly and clearly and when you have got that bit right then start doing a few words in the same way.

After that its being conscious of it when writing, more especially when you know someone else is going to or might be reading it.

As they say practice makes perfect!! Keep it at!!

All the best!!
