How to improve your handwriting quickly

To no surprise, studyblr is absolutely full of handwriting to be envious of. There is no shortage of note-taking photos which look like an angel wrote them. Whilst your handwriting is a part of who you are and there is no shame in having wonderfully messy writing, sometimes you just fancy a change. With this technique I’ve managed to adjust my handwriting in a short space of time. I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone, but hopefully it will be of use! Here  is my step-by-step guide to improving your writing:

  • Figure out what you want - what part of your writing do you want to change? Are you wanting to learn how to write more cursive or just make your writing more legible? Do you need to write faster or smaller? Write a random paragraph out and see what you like or don’t like about it. That way you can figure out what you need to change. 
  • Pick a pen - find a pen that you love to write with it! Different pens can influence your writing so try out as many as you can. There is ballpoint, gel pen, fineliner, rollerball, etc! My favourites are Muji Gel Pens and the Pilot G2.
  • Find inspiration - as I said studyblr is full of inspiring handwriting and beautiful bullet journals. Find a few of your faves and save them. Same with Pinterest! Search around for some examples and save them. 
  • Download your inspiration - the quickest way to retrain your hand is to copy. Whilst a handwriting sample from your favourite blog might be available, it can be extremely hard to recreate with accuracy. For this, I suggest picking a similar downloadable font. Sites such as dafont.com, fontsquirrel.com, myfonts.com and etsy.com offer hundreds of fonts for your choosing. Obviously choosing a handwritten style is going to be the easiest to recreate so start there. Here are my top handwritten fonts are Shoreline Script, Halo Handletter, MF I Love Glitter, Chocolate Coloured Raindrops, and Handwriting CR. 
  • Make a cheatsheet - once you’ve picked and downloaded the font you want to make your handwriting like, you can make a cheatsheet. By this I mean opening a word/pages document and typing uppercase and lowercase letters, words and numbers in your chosen font. Pick a size that you think will be easy for you to write on, probably 12pt+. Then print! An example of the one I made is here. 
  • Start writing - after you’ve printed start writing over the words. By tracing over the letters you’ll eventually retain yourself to write that way more naturally. Take it slow and be sure to properly trace the letters. This might take a while and some hard work but when it works it will be worth it. Try printing your cheatsheet 3 or 4 times and going over them all. Once you feel you’ve got the hang off it try copying without the font underneath and see how similar it is.
  • Persistence - changing your writing is undoubtedly going to take time so don’t be disheartened if you don’t get it quickly. It is also important to remember that being able to recreate your desired handwriting exactly can be tricky and might not be totally possible. However practicing should help your normal handwriting adapt to have some of the features that the writing you want has. 

I did this over the past few days and have managed to improve my cursive style writing. You can see my normal writing vs the writing style I learnt in 2ish days. I hope this helps! I’m happy to email ready done font cheatsheets if you’d like one, just message me. If you are practicing using these tips, I’d love to see. Tag me on here or Instagram! :~)

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

Assignments and Exam Revision, oh my!

So the past week and a half has been absolutely crazy. I’ve been working on a programming/simulation project that’s due in on Friday, and devoting all of my time to it, since I’m lacking a lot of the coding skills required, and am having to catch up as I go. But, it’s the middle of the third to last week of term, and I have exams in January which I have not started revising for. So what’s a girl to do, when the stress of both an assignment and exam revision start to get to her? 

  • Take at least an afternoon off to accurately assess the situation:
  • Make a list of tasks left to do for the assignment, and estimate how long it will take.
  • Compile a list of all completed and half-completed (and not yet started) lecture courses and rank them according to difficulty and amount of time required to get up to scratch on the topics. Top-ranking courses are the ones that are the most urgent and will need the most studying.
  • Also rank the courses on how enjoyable you find studying them.
  • Create a schedule for all days up until exas- not a rigid one, but one with up to 3 tasks per day (with feasible time estimations), and start slotting tasks in them. Prioritize the assignment until it is due, but allow for some light, enjoyable exam revision to take place.
  • Go to bed early, and ensure that enough sleep is gotten. If you wake up before your alarm due to stress, just stay in bed, relax, and rest your eyes. The little bit of extra rest will help. Meditation/mindfulness is also a good thing to do before your alarm- if not the traditional version, at least a version where you take some time to order your thoughts and breathe some calm into your life. 
  • Get up the next morning, have a large cup of tea, and head to campus to work on the tasks lined up in your schedule. 
  • Note that the only absolute is the deadline, and for assignments even that can be moved if you have a sympathetic staff member. The tasks scheduled can be moved around as you see fit- in fact, it’s almost better to pencil them into your schedule rather than using ink (if you’re using a paper-based planner). 
  • Take frequent breaks, talk to people, make sure that you don’t wear yourself out. Remember to breathe, and that green tea is your friend.

On a final note-how to preserve your mental health in such a stressful time. Personally, I struggle a lot with that. After spending the summer working on getting better to the point where I actual felt stable, it’s scary to feel myself slipping again, despite doing everything I’m supposed to. It’s important to remember that recovery has it’s ups and downs, and that stability is not a given. I’ve managed to keep going due to the momentum I’ve built up over the term, and am in too deep to stop now. Business is my friend, and keeps me on at least a semblance of the right track. I can’t speak for everyone, because my experience is highly personal, but I do think that regularity helps more than one would expect.

Best of luck to everyone dealing with exam stress. xx

02/12/16; i started the day with an unplanned visit at the hospital, therefore i got to the library a bit later than i originally wanted to. despite that i managed to get everything i’ve planned for today done. i also got hang of all of the books for intro to scandinavian lit i’m going to have to read in the next half of the semester. first i need to get through the mid-term though - that’s where all the mindmaps are for. i’m quite pleased with how each of them turned out. in the pictures also: my bullet journal spread containing daily lists on the left and all the uni stuff i need to get done by next week on the right, and also a window selfie where you can’t see my swollen eye (aka the reason i went to the hospital in the morning). also black coffee has become my new best friend.
