Practise cursive writing, a thousand times over, on sheets with printed or ruled guidelines for the desired slant, to develop the muscle memory to execute the movements correctly, as well as the sensory acuity to detect when the slant of your writing is deviating from what is desired.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

@InesFI never replied to you and I apologize. I am looking back at my activities - I did post a update today on a new thread. - I wish I had thanked you for your advice but I foolishly hadn't. InesF I'd like to thank you for your words.

I came across this nice video on handwriting a few days ago. In it, the lady says to heed (look at?) the previous letter as you write the current letter. That way the slant will always be consistent. Hope it helps.

@agaricHey amazing! Thank you for posting this but this post is old. I was just looking back at old posts and thanking the advice I hadn't done before. I posted my latest handwriting yesterday too. Nothing too special.

@A Smug DillI wanted to also thank you too for your advice and apologize for not thanking you before.

 

Not a problem. I hope you're having fun with your ongoing practice!

      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
