Some pointers on penmanship style, from The Gregg Writer (October 1931).

The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

This reminds me of the occupational therapy my son had for handwriting. He started each letter large, a foot high, on a blackboard, so his shoulder had to do most of the work and learn the shape, then 6 inches high with his index finger so his wrist had to work, and finally smaller so his fingers learned the shape. All the muscles, from shoulder through fingertips, have to know the shape and work together.
Meanwhile, the article pointed out some specific things I should try to fix the problems I've noticed with my own shorthand.
Thanks for posting!
Uhm, is it just me or the link to the pdf above really doesn't work? Anyone who was able to access the link above? 🙂
It didn't work for me either….. I'm sure Carlos will be along and will fix it.
Fixed. This one fell through the cracks when we moved to Blogger. Thanks for catching it!
Thanks for fixing it Carlos !!!
This article has been a great help to me. I have referred to it many times, and shown it to others, over the last few years. I find it inspiring.
Thank you very much for posting these treasures for us. 🙂
