Quick, basic scan of my handwriting below. I'd say my basic style is a mix of print and cursive, especially when writing out words, the letters tend to interconnect as cursive ones do but retain their print forms rather than the cursive ones in most cases. Specific features of each letter tend to vary with how quickly I write them.

In any case, over the past few years I've changed and adapted my letters to ones I like better, but I'm left stumped on a few of them, specifically the capital G's, Q's, R's and Y's. I'm hoping some of you here may recognize or remember certain styles of these letters from some sort of script that may match decently enough with the rest of my writing that I can adopt them to replace my current ones.

Looking forward to anything you all can come up with, and thanks for the help.

I really like your capital 'N'. I hope you don't mind if I try to steal it.

When I started rehabilitating my handwriting (and it has a long way to go but I consider it a minor miracle that today I use lowercase letters at all) I looked to type in books for some inspiration. Two things that come to mind are my 'a' and 'g'... my 'a' has an ascender loop, which usually isn't done in handwriting, and my 'g' is of the 'monocle and hook' variety.

One of the things that I looked at was varying the height and character of my ascenders and descenders so that letters would be distinguishable by way of their 'tails'

It's not a great example, but I'm too lazy to scan a sample right now. Here:

Help yourself to the N. My name is Nate (my initials are N A B- hence the name here), so I decided I'd find an N that looked interesting for a signature and that came out of it, of course when I sign my name it gets elongated a bit, but I like it.

Something like this, and that flourish does find its way in there more often than not

"Write Now" by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay.
The "cursive italic" is what I'm learning now. It will fit well with most of your habits now, but teach you how to connect them and look very cool. It looks like your lowercase is a match to the way their manuscript italics are written.

This font is called "Freestyle Script".
I know that it isn't an exact match, but there is a definite similarity with some of your lettering.
Perhaps you could adapt certain letters to your own hand?

Well, there are always these -

I warmly recommend Coptic: not too many new letters. http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/writing/coptic.html

Oh, you meant in English ... so sorry.
