Handwriting
Is there any such thing as a pad like backing to a piece of paper? Handwriting on a piece of paper that has several papers under it gives a cushioned like feel to a pen. I always write better with a pad of paper. I'm just curious if the same can be achieved with single pieces of paper.

Re: Handwriting
You’d get a not dissimilar feeling from writing on particularly heavy paper stock, I guess. Why do you ask?

There's a great deal of satisfaction when you make something useful from a piece of scrap wood and the leather from an old sofa, definitely more satisfying than buying it online and waiting 4 days (or more) for delivery :D

Re: Handwriting
I use an off cut from a piece of Anti-Static mat from a previous job.
I use a fountain pen 99% of the time, ranging from the £5 one I bought in 1980, up to my £700 Conway Stewart Alan Turin Edition. I also have a A3 desk pad which has A3 blotting paper. |
Re: Handwriting
I tend to write by hand as little as possible. This is because my handwriting is atrocious. I was warned before the 'O' Levels (doesn't that date me!) that my work would be trashed if the examiners couldn't read it.
We'll leave aside my getting 3 As, 3 Bs and a CSE 1, shall we? :p: <plaintive> It's not as if I didn't try to improve. I did. I tried several different pens and styles over those 5 years. All to no avail. </plaintive> A frequent comment at parents' evenings was 'First-class work - if only the handwriting wasn't terrible!'. A French teacher once compared it to the footprints of a spider which had fallen into an inkwell and staggered over the page after having had too much of whatever spiders drink on a night out. Though this was, I grant you, a fair assessment, I laughed hysterically! |

I actually attempted to get to grips with calligraphy at one time, had to pack it in, all those loops, swirls and flourishes were making me dizzy :D

Re: Handwriting
My hand writing was like a drunk spider crawling out of an ink bottle and across the paper.
But a job mad me write in uppercase as it was on important paperwork It carried on in to the next job. But when I left that in 2020, I started to retrain my brain to write in lowercase, I did well other than throwing the odd caps in the odd woRd or 2. I found that a fountain pen helped improve my writing, I keep a daily dairy (journal), and copious notebooks files with scribblings. |
Re: Handwriting
My dyslexia is coupled with a graphamotor issue so my handwriting is not good. An italic nib helps but my hands just don't do what I want them to do. The same happens with other manual tasks, it takes me a lot more efforts to actually "do" something that for others. I know what to do, I want to do it but my body just doesn't quite do it. It's not spontaneous, uncontrolled movement or anything like that, it's just I can't quite get the movements all right at the same time.
