I remember in high school there was always one or two females with really beautiful handwriting.

Now looking at my own chicken-scratch that could rival doctors, I wonder if theirs stay the same.

So, I’ll pose to the group: over the course of your educational or work career, how has your handwriting changed?

My handwriting was never great, but lately it's just bad. Like atrociously bad. I think it's just because I don't do a lot of writing longhand and haven't in years. Now when I take notes or jot down something simple like a grocery list I realize how my handwriting skills have more or less atrophied. I'm guessing that might be a common modern condition.

I don’t think mine has changed, but I do still like to write wiring down notes at work. Really love doodling still too (I’m going on 38).

That's such a great question... I used to have a great handwritten note that everyone would talk a great deal about. Now, I almost don't write anything, and if I do, I don't care as much, so it looks like a doctor's note literally. LOL

My mom was always big into calligraphy, which I always found fascinating as a little girl. She would freehand place cards for events that looked typed. Naturally, I wanted to join, so we'd paint and write together, and my handwriting became great because of it. It's sad to think it's sort of a lost artform now.
