Show Your Hand Writing

So, I've got a bit of a contrast going on.

This is my handwriting:

It's all scratchy and I have to do it very slowly or it becomes illegible.

But then this is my lettering:

That was done rather hastily. Done slower I can eliminate the slight wobbles.

Just a bit of a difference, eh? I can do other types/fonts of lettering work, too. I've got books on this stuff, it's what I specialize in for art. I just dont show it very often.

But my handwriting? Always gonna be that scratchy mess.
Yep. People often act like they have one consistent style of writing, and I don't. If it's for scratch purposes, then it indeed looks like chicken scratches, and then it looks a good bit nicer if it's something I wrote to keep, but then I write much more slowly, or exert myself a lot more.

I'm reminded of how I remember my mom dialing a phone, where she acted like she needed to sight down the length of her finger like she was aiming an arrow at the dialpad, just to make sure she got it exactly right. I've never really dedicated the time or effort to try to get into the holistic "zen" zone of neat handwriting, so without that, you engage that deliberate focus that made your arm hurt. But I don't see the point, because for notes, I can still read a mess, and then there is also such a thing as a computer to type on.
 
My handwriting is so inconsistent that it doesn't even compute, but I also try to type whenever given the opportunity because writing just bothers me for some reason.

Although, I've been having fun sketching out death metal-style logos lately, so none of this makes any sense.
Exactly. I just finished saying as much in a different way. This is why I prefer to type, too. If you wanted to write out an entire tome in a neat style, it's such a commitment to plod through it and waste effort, when you could just type it.
