On my daily perusal of the Telegraph, I discovered a little gem on the returning art of letter writing and improving your penmanship. Jake Wallis Simons conveys a few tips to those of us who'd like our letters to look better and be more legible. Below, I've paraphrased them:
* Obtain a comfortable pen. (You'd think this is a no-brainer, but I had an epiphany reading this article. This is why my fingers hurt whenever I try to write stories by hand!)
* Sit up straight and pinch the pen between your first finger and thumb. (Er... I've always utilized the side of my middle finger. Is that to blame as well?)
* Try books on improving your handwriting.
* Write larger than normal at first.
* Doodle letters to practice.
