Do you have good penmanship?

I was writing out Christmas cards last night (finally) and I started to notice that my penmanship was not very good. Usually, I take my time and write neatly and make it look nice. But for some reason last night it didn't look nice. Maybe I was even more tired than I thought I was.
Do you write neatly? Do you take your time to make it look nice or don't you care how neat it is? Or do you even write much by hand anymore?

My hand writing is neat and organized. Handwriting is important for taking notes and writing organized report. Both speed and legibility are essential for good letters, so it’s in your best interest to learn to write neatly and in a way that doesn’t fatigue your hand quickly.
But neat handwriting also makes you look and feel good specially to others!

I dont have that good penmanship and its struggle to write in cards. Sometimes I just try to make it easy for myself alone and try to be comfortable with the writting coz theres no way I can change my penmanship coz its permanent.

Hi,there! Well,I can't say I have a good penmanship cause I really don't know how to remark that of mine.Frankly speaking,my penmanship is not bad.My mum doesn't like my penmanship too much but many other people like it:) I usually write neatly and I always try to do that cause it makes me feel good and it's also good for others to read.I take my time to make it look nicer at the beginning,but then if one forms the habit,then you don't need to take a lot of time to do it. It went out naturally.Nowadays I don't write that much by hand but whenever I write sth,I pay attention to the hand writing and try to make everything look neat.Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day^_^

I have always had the worst handwriting - good thing I can type is all I say. I feel sorry for anyone on my Christmas card list that has a last name after about "S" because it gets worse as I go along. Even if I take my time my handwriting stinks. I was always envious of people who could write well.

For a guy I have nice handwriting, that's because the nuns in school would make us stand in front of the class, hands out, palms of your hands facing up and smack them with that 3 foot wooden ruler. OUCH!

I think it is a matter of opinion. I have had many people tell me they love my handwriting, but then this associate I used to work with hated my handwriting. I myself think my handwriting is pretty good, until I have written for a very long time straight. I need to take breaks to keep it looking good.

I have lousy penmanship. I cant write neatly to save my life. Both of my kids have horrible penmanship too. I can remember in grade school the teacher making me re-write things. I hated penmanship in school.

I do have neat writing and I do take the time to make it look good. I like that it's easy to read. However, when I get tired or have been writing for an extended time it does get a big sloppier. I usually give my hands a break at that point.

I have pretty good penmanship most of the time. Sometimes when I am in a hurry I scribble something down. Of course compared to my husband, I have fantastic penmanship all the time. I practiced a lot as a kid.
