To shorten the learning curve just come to my free workshop (changed to Tuesday 19 Apr 2011 10.00 am @ the Rumbles Coffee House, Eastwood). To learn handwriting properly you need to watch how it is done and you need to have your problems analysed - have your mistakes pointed out. This has to be a practical iterative process. It can't be done by dicussion on this forum or on video alone.
If I have a handwriting problem I would seize this opportunity to learn from someone who knows a bit about handwriting. If interested just participate. There is no secret to handwriting. Just have to know how to do it the right way. Whilst a good smooth-gliding pen helps it is not the main idea.
Those interested should PM me. Give name and if you like, school & suburb.
