Consistently inconsistent...looks really cool in my opinion.

It's... legible...

Practice. What I did was write out letters in various styles and picked out the ones I liked best and then just practiced over and over till it was my handwriting.

I like it.

You should try to write a little slower and use that time to focus on making each letter look better. At the start that usually means writing them as you were taught in school (just the very basic shapes of the letters i.e. font Ariel), but once you get used to making them more consistent, then you can have more fun with it and change "your font" to something you like more.

It'll take you some time but not as much as you'd think, don't be discouraged. Also if you're at a stage in your life where you don't write a lot than you should try to incorporate more of that as it'll significantly accelerate your handwriting ability.

read a book and write down proper spelling and definition of words, typo is not for pen and paper, they're spelling errors lmao. but that's what i did when i learnt script.

This has a regular irregularity that I somehow find appealing. Maybe it's the grid paper in background, but... I don't hate it

Do what my actual five year old does and practice writing in a four ruled notebook. There are four lines to write in. Works for both cursive and print.

Small letters between the blue lines. As in the top should touch the top blue line and the bottom should end at the bottom blue line. Tall letters like h and k should touch the top red line, and letters with twins like g and y should touch the bottom red line.

This is an example of what you need.

I have bad hand writing and this isn’t that bad.

I personally think your handwriting is cool

connect the letters, practice, straighten them out ie keep specific ways

Your writing is actually pretty interesting

Your writing is normal, but you can always improve. I'd say to practice not having autocorrect in your phone, to start addressing the misspelling (if you're willing, study a bit). There are books to cover letters and practice, too. That would be a good start, training your coordination skills.

The things that stand out to me is that some of your letters, like o, are above the line when they should be on the line. The letter y should descend below the line. And your spacing between words is irregular.

That said, I didn't have trouble reading it except in a couple places. I've encountered far worse.

You write better than I do, I'm 46.

Ironically your handwriting is fairly consistent.

Can totally understand you wanting to improve the legibility of it to look like the social norm.

Like anything, changing a skill comes down to practice. Do it when you have the luxury of taking your time and find a style you want to mimic. Then practice.

It's probably going to seem painfully slow to begin with but with practice will come familiarity. With familiarity will come speed.

I know the pain because I'm trying to learn another language at the moment with a very foreign style to what I'm used to.

Mine looks like the 5 year old version of that language style.

Focus on the appropriate high of each letter (t, l, g, h, f ... should high enough) and try to write them in the way that all the bottom of letters are on the same line. This will hugely increase your writing.

Is it just me but I really like this style

i would say to slow down and focus on your letting. maybe writing in all caps would be better. maybe find a font and put it on a doc. trace over the letters until you write how you like.

Wow I love you "a" style

You could use handwriting practice books, they helped me improve my handwriting

The a and s are the same. It's weird
