Yesterday I was writing a letter and thought to myself how much it resembled my mothers. Today I was writing something quickly and noticed how it looked like my sisters handwriting.
Do you think your handwriting favor's someone elses in your family?
Could this be something genetic?
How do you feel about handwriting in general?

My hubby has the MOST beautiful handwriting I've ever seen...prettier than a girls. I asked him one time "how?" He replied, "too many raps on the knuckles from the nuns!" Yikes!
Glad to see your pics came out much better than mine did. We were in Game Works so the lighting was very poor. Hope you had fun.
As far as the handwriting -- I think there is a whole science devoted to handwriting and a lot can be seen about a person by the way they write!
and much more optimistic than pessimistic. You have a strong sense of self esteem and are more a leader than a follower.
Let me know if I am right.
Handwriting in general, definitely produces a different flow of expression in opposed to typing. This raises a good question: How many of us "writers" exercise the pen and pad; and how often?
Handwriting tells a lot about your personality. If some qualities of your handwriting look like someone elses, you probably share a personality trait in common.
Interesting, and more important to some than others.
My father wrote in beautiful spencerian script, all spelling and grammar correct.
My mother wrote fast and full of thought, but not very pretty.
Poor Dad, none of his children has beautiful handwriting.
Scribblers all, but all of us write, all of us can put on paper, with a pen or keyboard what we want to say.
That is the important part.
My mother always had a typewriter for anything important.
But we love her scribbled notes the best. We love our Dad's notes for their brevity, almost codelike quality.
I have to sign my name about 10 times a day at work and I now understand why no one can read a doctor's signature. My signature becomes unreadable by the end of the day.
Thank you, baby! How sweet of you to say that.
I've always enjoyed writing and do love to do calligraphy. However.. because I do so much on the computer.. I feel that my penmanship is suffering from lack of use. That and arthritis in the hands makes it more difficult to do it right.

I'm right there with him too! hahahaa! I don't know what it is about growing up in Catholic schools, but there certainly was a strong focus on penmanship.
I was amazed one day though to see my brothers signature after years of separation, and how close it was to my own. Pretty much a match, but if you don't know who we are you can't really read it.
My mom used to take notes and write in shorthand a lot. Back in the day, all secretaries would have to use it if taking dictation from their bosses. I always wished I knew how to do that.
(By the way, Clare does have awesome handwriting. We always used to say it would be great it someone would pay you for that!)
We both have mixed writing of print adn cursive, dropping letters along the way and adding ones where they don't belong.
My father's writing was big, loopy loops, brandished with a style that showed he was the boss, the business man. After his stroke at age 54 his writing had less flair and looked nearly feeble and frail.
My husband calls my handwriting grip "freakish" , I never learned the typical way to hold a pen. The pen rest on my ring finger above my nail, when I do alot of writing I get a bump above the first bend of the finger and that is where the pen rests. I hold close to the writing tip, using my middle finger to guide the pen on top , my index finger hangs out above and the thumb wraps around and rests on the knuckle of the index finger.
I loved my steno classes in high school and I guess they no longer teach it - too bad.
ALSO, I love to do both type and handwrite. I enjoy walking away from the computer and writing a letter. I feel that there is still need for snail mail. Yes, email is convienient but kids love to get mail and I have lots of those in my life to whom I write letters to and send cards.
