Rate my handwriting

This handwriting sample is generally legible, although some individual letters and words are better formed than others. The sample displays joined-up cursive handwriting. The capital "M" at the beginning of "My" is rather elaborate with a large initial upstroke, two loops, and a dramatic downstroke that curves under the baseline, and this sense of occasion carries over into the large capital "N" of "Name" and "I" of "Is". Other letters like "y", "a", and "e" appear variable in size, while the "l" and "h" appear slightly compressed, perhaps because the pen ran out of ink or the writer ran out of steam towards the end of each word. The baseline tends to wander upwards across the dotted grid.

This is the handwriting of someone who enjoys being noticed, yet has no desire to steal the show. Their elaborate "M" demonstrates an enjoyment of embellishment and flourishes, a desire to add a little artistry and uniqueness to life. The variable size of the letters suggests someone adaptable and flexible. They are likely an enthusiastic conversationalist. However, the uneven baseline and varying quality of individual letters, from "My Name Is" at the beginning of the sample to "in Oklahoma" at the end, hints at a lack of consistency, perhaps a reluctance to complete tasks fully or to commit wholeheartedly to projects.

To improve this handwriting, the writer should concentrate on keeping a consistent baseline. Practice writing on lined paper, making sure each line of text starts and finishes on the horizontal line, with the body of the letters following the contours of the underlying line. Aim for a more consistent size and shape of individual letters, focusing on closing the gaps on open letters like "a" or "o" which currently resemble "u" and "v" respectively. The writer might also consider refining some of the flourishes and embellishments. While they can add charm and individuality to a handwritten piece, they can also be distracting if they're too numerous or exaggerated.
