- How are you focused mentally?
- Do you think about other things at the same time?
- Are you focused on the lines, the imaginary half line, the staring points, the previous letter alignment, spacing, what comes next, what will fit on the line, the artistic expression of style, or simply the pure minimal effort required to communicate written thought?
- Do you often find yourself bored and evolving or changing your style of writing as an outlet of secondary creativity along with whatever task is at hand?
- Are you concerned with the impact your writing style has upon others, or are you only concerned with the expansion of your own short/long term memory and usefulness?
- Are you aware of the loose correlation between intellect and handwriting? What does that mean to you personally.
- Are the ergonomics a point of conscious focus?
I’m a draft writer, so legibility and consistency. Every letter should be the same height and roughly the same width (except capital i). Everything is capitalised including the c in McWhatever/MacWhatever.
What I write has to be read by others of varying backgrounds and educations, so I make it at least as neat as the typed text on the page. It has to be that legible.
Want a fun time? Write out the sentence “What fictional character writes like this?” or something to that effect, take a picture, and post it to social media and see what people say. My wife had me do it and she posted it to her socials, and everyone said I write like the nerdy character in whatever show they liked. Trekkers would say I write like Data, or Spock, for example. Logically.
