Handwriting: From Young To Old

joeccentric,

 

I love it, love it, love it! It's wonderful to see some of the innocent, unfettered joy and happiness of young children in your earlier sample – the pleasure of simple things. By the way, what is the fruit (I presume it's fruit) that sits between the apple and the orange?

 

I enjoy the progress of your writing from age 10 to 13, and the adoption of your adult form from 13 to 17. It is interesting to see your transition to the classical lower-case "r" by age 17.

 

Your recent handwriting is beautiful, especially that written in light green in the notebook that peeks out from behind the photo.

 

Thanks for posting,

David.

Oh wow, thank you so much!

 

The fruit is a feijoa, I describe the taste like a gold kiwifruit combined with a guava. Honestly, I am surprised I managed to spell that!

My first memory of noticing other people's handwriting was finding out at age 9 that my friend wrote their capital 'i' without the two lines. It blew my mind!

At 10 I remember getting my "pen license" and being so, so proud. I went through a huge cursive phase but that obviously changed when I went through that 13 year old angsty period :lol:

 

That green ink was most likely Lamy turquoise. I think it was my obsession at the time as the whole book was filled with that bright green/blue ink! Bad choice of colour for university note taking however.

 

Below is 2012 that I dug up. I was really keen on getting my cursive to look neater. I reckon my 'r's have gotten better here..

I have so many more notebooks from 2009 up till now but unfortunately they were all very personal diary entries.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
