write out a bit of Richardson's "Clarissa" so people can see my handwriting

I’m going to spend my time in the studio tonight writing letters from the new character I’m developing to his ex-girlfriend. He seems the sort that would write letters to his ex in an attempt to expunge her from his memory. I think his writing would be all caps and fairly readable, with a very slight slant to the right and each word roughly the same height. His lines wouldn’t be entirely straight and the spacing between words would be even and moderate. He’d always write in black and the lines of each letter would be fairly thick. He doesn’t like ballpoint pens and the writing is fairly angular, though the right downstroke on his Hs and the leg of his Rs add a little curve.

I can see his printing so clearly. What an interesting way to approach a character.

the first time I’ve written in cursive since grade school, and I liked the look of it. I hadn’t realized cursive was a dying art. I can see myself working on my cursive and reserving print for practical purposes. More and more and more cheers to Marmotry for starting such a fun goal!

Thank you so much for this goal! I’m having great fun looking at people’s handwriting. I’m attaching a pic of my non-dominant (in my case, the left) handwriting, which just goes to show that I need more to do at work.

Would you trust this sloppy writer with your money or your heart? Hmmmm…maybe a writing primer is in order.

EDIT: Doh! And I misspelled “notwithstanding.” How embarrassing.
