I'm not sure if this is the write forum/topic for this but I'm going to throw caution to the wind and ask it! First, I'll give my story (will keep it brief!).
Our kids - as with most kids today - have not really been taught penmanship. So one day I thought to introduce them to italic - which I'd been introduced to at one point, though I hadn't learned it I had some interest in its broad application as a writing hand. I started that with them right after breakfast and before school but their practice sort of trickled away. I won't say their interest fizzled but that's another story.
Anyhow, they are no longer involved but I'm still trying to improve my handwriting and actually have sort of got sucked into this whole world of calligraphy which I find really cool but way (read: way, way) beyond where I am. I am just trying to improve my writing at this point but am keeping my future options open. I saw
this exemplar from the redoubtable Mr. Fraser and was really awestruck so I've been practicing the
Mill's Modern Penmanship book online.
My question then is where should I post questions and such on this website? What I'm doing is very, very basic as compared to the rest of this forum but it seems to me that if I ever advance beyond business penmanship (which I view as an everyday hand, which is what I'm after at this point) then I suppose it would be Spencerian but it's really not. What would be the appropriate forum "category"? Is it here or some other "Not Quite Flourishing" category?
