Description
This week's core challenge was, show your handwriting.So I did just that, and demonstrated how I dressed it up a little. I have a pile of journals by my bed, and I can now date them by how my handwriting looks XD
I used one of my favorite pens, the Pilot Plumix fountain pen for this
I was one of those weird kids obsessed with Harry Potter, and I forged a couple of Hogwarts Acceptance Letters with my quil and green dip ink XD That and Tom Riddle's handwriting is beautiful....yep
Anywho, if you'd like to give this a try, show me what you've done below!
I'd love to see it ^^

I'd never thought about consciously trying to change my handwriting (asides from attempting to keep it neater than usual haha). This so cool! Your handwriting's lovely too, and definitely befitting a fantasy author.

Haha, yeah, I get that. It just kind of occured to me, if you can change your handwriting temporarily (like with doing calligraphy) then you could change it for the long term. Old school writing looks really cool, and that's just because they were encouraged to make their script decorative.
If they could do it, then anyone could do it if they wanted to. It's not all that different from drawing anyways XD
Thanks >///< glad you think so
Do you think you'll play with your handwriting?

Aah you're right it is sort of like drawing or calligraphy, just takes some practice and thought. I think I will play with my handwriting. It seems like fun! Plus it may help if I ever try to make fancy script for a story or something.
Thanks for the idea c:

Have you ever played with your writing?

You welcome.
No I never played with my writing because I was always sure
it would turn out badly. But I am trying to open myself up to
trying new things. That is a very good idea.

👍🏻👍🏻 nice Plumix! Use a cartridge or a converter??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cartridge, just a little easier for me at present. Wouldn't even know what type of converter to start with XD
You sound familiar with fountain pens
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I adore them, I use several different kinds 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's cool! May I ask what kinds? (I'm a complete nerd when it comes to pens, but currently only use dip pens and the Plumix because it's reviews were very good and the price was right XD)
Oh cool, a fellow writer! Yes, they do have a nice way of bringing those pages to life.
