How frequently do you find yourself writing or printing?
Usually once a month when I write out the checks for my bills, or when I send birthday or Christmas cards. Not frequently, it seems.
Do you enjoy writing?
No. My teachers hated my writing and castigated me all through school because of it. I was traumatized. (I have turrible penmanship. Just turrible.)
I feel stressed trying to come up with something to say on the cards I send.
How do you feel about the quality of your cursive?
I'm not real bothered by it until I have to present it to others. Then my shame comes barreling back.
Are you bothered by others' penmanship?
Just jealous of others that have better penmanship. I don't make fun of anybody's writing, unless they're doctors.
Did you have to take an assigned penmanship course?
Nope, other than the Second grade when we learned to write cursive.
At what age did you stop focusing on your writing legibility?
18 or 19
Have you trained yourself in calligraphy or other artsy writing forms?
Not trained my self, no. I took Calligraphy in art class in High School.
Do you feel that handwriting is a dying art?
Yes, I do. Especially when I read somewhere that some schools don't teach cursive writing any more. (may have been here)
