Okay, so the below is the result of a bit of practice beforehand, about half a page of practice, and I just decided to write whatever came to my head....

It's slow still. When I go faster my letterforms deteriorate into rounded ugliness..

I think that if this is after a half page of practice, you will be fluent in short order.

That's super!

Thanks for your comments! I write it about as slow as I would if I were writing manuscript writing very carefully. I should time myself as I write something and then calculate the letters-per-minute...

Oh no, one of my friends asked me what the top part said, so I was telling him when I realized I made en error - one of those where you're just writing without really thinking and you accidentaly slip up or write a word twice - I said, "I live near Minneapolis in the state of Minneapolis.." I meant Minnesota!

Votre écriture d'italiques est tres bien!
