I can’t write
Last night Phaedrah and I were just messing around, and we started trying to write in cursive/longhand on a pad of paper.
After scratching my head a bit–I came to a quick realization that I cannot even use it now. Other than simply signing my name, it’s completely awkward and cumbersome. Even trying to write out a simple sentence took me a minute or so. Phaedrah’s, on the on the other hand; looks perfect.
Which got me to thinking–even my “normal” handwriting (comprised of mostly slop capital block letters) is pretty illegible. I find myself hurrying trying to finish a word, and I’ve come to the conclusion it’s because I can type it far faster and just print it. Writing gets annoying because it’s too slow. When I do have to write something, it gets me annoyed and I try to do it as fast as I can.
Am I the only one who uses a computer so much that simple handwriting is becoming troublesome?
