    After thinking about how I write I noticed that it is quite different as compared to other people. You see, I'm right handed and I write with my paper tilted at a 30-45 degree angle clockwise (yes you read that right). I was wondering if anyone else writes like this? Tell me, how do you write? :slight_smile:

    I'm right handed. How I write depends on what I'm writing, what it's for, and the mood I'm in. I usually go for straight on, but sometimes it might end up tilted or something and I don't notice. Sometimes I make my handwriting neat and artistic, other times it's absolute chicken scratch. There was even once a time where I wrote with my paper completely sideways or completely upside down because it made my handwriting neater than it was rightside up.

    About the same, angled and right handed. My handwriting is slow and atrocious so I prefer typing.

    Right handed, either straight-on or angled a bit to either side. I like the feeling of writing because I'm a very fast writer, but my handwriting is almost illegible when cursive and my print is slow and so clumsy that it makes me seem like I'm barely literate. Whether I write or type depends on the situation and how I'm feeling.

    Left handed, I write large, fast and very messy, and I have the tendency to connect my letters without trying to.

    I'm right handed. But my handwriting is crap, so I rarely do it. But when I do, there is no consistent tilt, and my face is usually just inches away from the paper.

    I'm left-handed and I usually tilt the paper almost sideways. My handwriting sucks, though, so I like typing better.

    I try to avoid writing as much as possible. My handwriting is horrible. I have an out of state friend who sends me these cute postcards and such and I always feel bad that I send her plain typed letters back because I actually want her to be able to read what I'm writing lol

    When forced to write something out, pretty sure the paper is just straight up and I write very small.

    Right-handed (usually), "average" sized letters, messy yet mostly legible, not much space between words (one of my most common mistakes is not leaving enough space between words), light pen/pencil pressure (heavy pen/pencil pressure if I'm angry because I guess I want to stab someone with it lol), and I always dot my i's and cross my t's. Plus my handwriting is a mix of cursive and print.

    If I need to write more than a few sentences, then I usually tilt my paper or notebook slightly anti-clockwise.

    How I write depends very much on how stressed I am, lol. When I'm relaxed my writing is about average size and quite alright, but when I'm stressed, like when doing at test, my writing gets more and more miniscule and just illegible, haha. ^^ I've been in trouble in school with teachers many times because they couldn't read what I was writing on their tests, haha.

    I'm right handed and I prefer my paper straight on. My writing is fairly small but not tiny, and cursive. When I write with my fountain pen (which I absolutely love) my writing is extremely neat but not so much with a Biro or ballpoint. When I write at school I see some people have their heads almost resting on the table, but I sit up fairly straight when I write.

    I wish people would write more often, it's far quicker and prettier than typing.

    I'm right handed, & I don't usually tilt the paper, I prefer to leave it straight on. I just have a weird way to hold the pen, that often makes people think I'm left handed for some reason. lol

    I write with my right hand.
    It is barely legible.
    It tilts left on the sides, but is verticle elsewhere.
    I tilt the paper any direction, the tilt is the same.

    Right-handed, and I always print unless I'm signing something - however, as a direct result of something I was taught while learning cursive in 3rd grade, my paper is always tilted between 45 and 90 degrees toward the left.

    My handwriting is fine, but I'm so used to typing at this point - including during note-taking in class - that my hand cramps very quickly. So I prefer to type.

    -I am ambidextrous but I've been using my right hand to write and my left hand for other things. I use my right hand for writing because when I was younger I had difficulty reading what I wrote because my hand was often covering the words. Also, notebooks weren't created for left-handed people. I learnt how to write with my right hand

    -I use both cursive and printscript when I write. I prefer cursive.

    -My penmanship has been described by other people as small, neat, nice and "tumblr" (I do not know the reason for this. I do not think so). Personally, I think my penmanship is shitty.

    -When I write in cursive, my letters lean slightly to the right. It is not loopy or rounded but rather thin and flowing.

    -When I write in printscript, my letters are straight and slightly rounded.

    -spacing is normal between words and letters.

    -Paper is always at an angle. I cannot write if it is straight. I find it hard.
