  Because this isn’t “writing”, it’s art.
  If you slowed down and purposely beautified your writing it would look a lot better (especially with practice) but you, like me, probably write as fast as you can and don’t care. lol

    I guess whatever part of my brain that can convert ‘writing’ to ‘art’ doesn’t work, because I spent a considerable amount of time as a child desperately trying to learn decorative handwriting! Going slowly makes it wobbly AF, and going quickly makes it sloppy, and I never could find the middle.

      Have you thought about taking calligraphy courses? That could be fun!

        I did a quick search for some in person classes, but unfortunately the only one near me is to teach Chinese calligraphy! Which would probably be more useful if I read Chinese, lol. I’ll stay on the look out for some, that does sound interesting.
