you actually have the nicest handwriting, do people tell you this? also, are you a lefty, by chance? looks that way - i am and i get really happy when other people are, because i’m strange.
Aw, thank you! No, I rarely get a comment on it in brickspace, although the Office Grandpa who does calligraphy said it was very tidy once. (Also I am not a lefty, sadly.)

Sam your handwriting is so elegant… please teach me your ways (mine looks like shit literally all the time)
Apparently it looks like my father's, which is interesting since it didn't when I was 11 (the age I was when he died). I think a lot of the tidiness of it is to do with studying scene design in college -- I took three years total of drafting, but I was always way more interested in drafting script than the drafting itself. (You can see remnants of the drafting script in that one long stem on the caps G, and the way my capital Ls tip up -- the latter makes the horizontal line of the L pop from the drafting lines and makes it easier to read.)
When you learn drafting script, you literally approach handwriting with a t-square and a triangle. Or at least I was made to. It trains you to be very tidy. :D
My mum's is actually way nicer -- she literally learned copperplate cursive, her handwriting looks like a goddamn font.
