    For years, I puzzled over whether a person’s cursive handwriting really could improve: after all, isn’t handwriting supposed to reflect personality? As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that people’s handwriting changes depending on their mood and the day, and I’m no exception.

The majority of writers will achieve more aesthetically pleasing cursive by writing at a fairly quick pace. That’s certainly been my experience!
