-- Here are several tips to help improve your longhand:
1. Get the right materials
Whether you prefer a fine tipped gel pen or a standard ball point, find a pen that feels comfortable to hold and that flows smoothly without having to press down on the paper too much.
2. Use lined paper
The lines will act as a guide to keep everything at an even height and size.
3. Write a paragraph everyday
Whether it's lyrics to your favorite Beyonce song, sports statistics, or maybe it's the intro to your favorite book..whatever it is, practice writing over and over until the words start to look neater. A good idea is to keep it all in one notebook so that you can flip back and see your progress!
4. Slow down
It's important to pace yourself and focus on each letter to create consistent results. The speed will come later on naturally as you get better.
