Vash, try a pencil. No seriously, its what we were taught back in Architecture 101. We learned some discipline with simple lettering.

Now, how do I improve my typing. I make lots of mistakes and are constantly going back to correct mistakes before I finish my sentence. Sometimes, I forget what I was typing as my brain is going 100 miles an hour and my fingers are only doing 10 word per minute. No not kidding, about 10 words a minute.

I will be happy when Outlook can convert voice to text as well as my phone can.

I've typed too long to learn a new way...I'm stuck with what I know.

Oh heck. I can probably out scrawl you! Lefty here and the school system tried ti convert me to Righty back when my classmates were learning penmanship. It didn’t take and my handwriting is really poor. I have mostly given up. You are on a noble quest!

+1 at this point in time almost word for word as you say Jack. Arthritis at base of thumbs, not physical injury. Thank God for Mobic.

FWIW I had nice college notes after manually re-printing the class notes that were scribbled on the fly. Pentel 0.7 P207 with soft lead. Whatever I had developed just faded with no use.

However, my Dad writes cursive beautifully to this day, given he learned the system and was awarded the certificate. (Forget name) He valued his ability which surely helped sustain it. Masraum - yes, his elbow is fully in play when he writes.
