Increasing legibility

 About a month ago I blogged that I had started keeping a diary.

Now my handwriting has always been an illegible scrawl, but as things progressively moved online it became progressively worse and worse, probably simply due to lack of practice.

After all we don't write letters or postcards any more, and any dealings with officialdom require completing an online form. Even notes, which might once have been scrawled in a spiral bound notebook are usually typed on a phone using an app like Google Keep.

Now strangely, in the last month or so, since starting my diary, I've noticed my handwriting has improved. 


About a month ago it looked like this, scrawly and wavy.

But now...


Definitely neater and possibly a tad more legible. I still wouldn't win a prize for penmanship, but it's clearly better. While practice hasn't made perfect, it's clearly improved matters...
