Here's the latest snapshot of my writing. It's been about 4 years since I began studying Business Penmanship (aka Palmer Method).

Oh David @daviddigi I am SO jealous! How gorgeous!!!  :-*

May I ask - was the Palmer Method your biggest influence or do you have a different preferred exemplar? You have a very unique style which is really lovely.
Warm Regards,

@Erica McPhee Thank you!

My biggest influences have been the Zaner and Mills, although I've spent time with a number of popular "methods" like Palmer, Champion, and Bailey. Here's an excerpt from "Zaner & Bloser Method Writing - Manual 96", which I think shows the influence:



I'd like to see a progress update from @InkyFingers too, no pressure!

Great to see there is some business penmanship in this forum! And I am very happy we have you here, David @daviddigi, because your Youtube videos and your Instagram posts are a great source of inspiration. I am giving a try to BP myself and I may have a couple of questions for the specialists. Thanks for sharing.

This is my last year writing specimen and I am hoping to get it more clean up.
I have to work a lot.
