Handwritten Exercise

Posted by Nathan Pralle On July - 13 - 2010

Following in the same direction as the ever-effervescent Aly over at Breathe Gently, I decided her post on her handwriting was such a good idea, I’d play along.

If you’d like to do so, here’s the items to follow that she and I did to create this sample.    Then simply scan in your paper (remember to show your work!  Hee hee.)

1. Name/Blog Name
2. Right handed, left handed or both
3. Favorite letters to write
4. Least favorite letters to write
5. Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
6. Write in caps:
CRAB
HUMOR
KALEIDOSCOPE
PAJAMAS
GAZILLION
7. Favorite song lyrics
8. Tag 7 people
9. Any special note or drawing

I have to apologize; since becoming computer-literate, my handwriting has gone completely and totally south.   But that’s ok, I rarely have to use it for anyone but me.   But…here’s my sample!   Enjoy interpreting!  (click on it for a larger version)

Nathan's Handwriting Sample

P.S. — In question #8, I have tagged the following people, but really — if you want to do it, I highly encourage you to go for it:   Queenie Carly, Stacey at This Just In, Corn Fed Girl, Mark at Avablog, Five Second Dance Party, Randomly Yours, Julia, and Tara Septembre

    I had to do this too. My hand writing is not near what is used to be before I did everything on a computer.

    @Aly: Yes, except you’d never be able to read it!

    @Brandon: Cool! Thanks for playing along, yours is a lot neater than mine!

    @Carla: You realize that I love you about 300x more than I did already because of that, right?

    I love this! I even made comments about handwriting as my opener in the letter I sent you days ago! :)

    So glad I stumbled upon this tonight. I’m excited to get to creating my own post tomorrow!

    Hilarious! I might have to do two, as my printing and cursive look quite different… and I’ll have to get on it before I no longer have access to a scanner!
