✎ Do you get frustrated trying to decipher what you wrote in your journal and ask yourself, “What language did I write this in?”
✎ Do you have a burning desire to express your creativity & develop your own personal handwriting style?
✎ Still saving that pretty journal because you don’t want to “ruin it” by actually writing in it?
✎ Are you comparing your journal to those brush lettering videos on IG...and now you just don’t wanna journal at all?
♥ You know that’s the opposite of self-care, don't you?
I hear you! I've been there.
I used to have legible handwriting -- but over the years, my handwriting started looking super sloppy. I learned calligraphy as a kid, and taught myself brush lettering as an adult. My friends would tell me, “you write so pretty!” So, why did my regular handwriting look like junk?
I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), so my hands aren’t as agile as they used to be.But, I was still sick and tired of my lecture notes and journal entries being so – ugly, I’ll just say it.
Could I apply what I’d learned from brush lettering to my regular handwriting? ✾ Could I have pretty handwriting again?
So, I worked to develop a technique using calligraphy and brush lettering skills – without actually doing brush lettering, spending weeks practicing, & without any fancy pens!
And, it worked! My handwriting was prettier again.
