While scanning the pictures for my Moleskin gush thread, I realized that I want to know what everyone's handwriting looks like. So let's call this a "Vanity Handwriting Thread."

Meaning:

(1) You can take extra care that your handwriting's maybe neater than shorthand, but
(2) it still has to reflect your general handwriting style.

For superdouble-dog fun, write the sentence (of your choice) in both print and cursive! (But be sure to write out what you used as your sample text at the end.) I chose a short poem by Wendell Berry.

Here's my print:



And here's my (awful, oafish) cursive:



April Woods: Morning (Wendell Berry)

Birth of color
out of night and the ground.

Luminous the gatherings
of bloodroot

newly risen, green leaf
white flower

in the sun, the dark
grown absent.

I have (had) the habit of scanning my notes. Handwriting, and finding the right style is somehow important to me.

I had the same quest once upon a time, though I can't say my results were as attractive as yours. I'm sure I've got some of those old notes around home somewhere. I'll dig them up.

Do you use special pens?

Adilegian, your handwriting seems better here by far than I thought it was in the moleskine thread, where I can't read what the fuck you've done.

Yes, my intention was to obscure! When I'm working at my best, only I can comprehend morphemes from my pet ink slugs.

What I found interesting was as part of a drafting course they taught letter formation and my writing has never been the same.

How so? Please tell us for free the university secrets that you paid money for!
