Issues writing by hand

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.

  • When I was a teenager, I learned to type as my handwriting was so poor that even I couldn't read it... and sometimes still can't !

    This was back in the sixties when boys did NOT learn to type, it was seen as sissy, something that only girls and women did.

    Many years later, when computers first arrived (thanks to the late Charles Babbage), men started to use keyboards which were, apparently,  not sissy.

    How things have changed!
