Issues writing by hand

Luna

Am I the only one who finds it hard to write by hand with a pen or pencil? I first had this issue at school I couldn't hold the pencil steady and my writing looked horrific, teachers kept telling me off for it. It's no better now - probably a bit worse. I really struggle to keep hold of the pen now and the words sort of go all over the place. I tried writing Christmas cards when I woke up and omg they came out terribly. I remember now why I do all my writing on the laptop lol. My step sister is going to write the cards for me because her handwriting looks fancy and nice, but I am still disappointed I can't do this simple thing.

  • I was always a slow writer when I was at school. One of the teachers used to fill the blackboard with a lot of notes, which we had to write in our books. I struggled to keep up with that, I appeared to be the slowest writer in the class. Fortunately the other subject teachers didn't put so much on their blackboards.

    My handwriting also received some negative comments from teachers.

    One of the reasons that I didn't train to become a teacher was that they had to write a lot of stuff (and neatly) on their blackboards.  Nowadays most teachers who I meet mostly do Powerpoint presentations, which of course can be prepared in in their own time, are legible and can be reused many times.
