My professor gave us a test last week that was 80% long form answer. My hand was dying

Did you do the test in print or cursive? I'm working on my cursive again after years of very little handwriting. I've found that, though cursive takes more patience with the motor skills and hand to brain connections, it's easier on the hand.

I've found that a hybrid between print and cursive works best for me in most cases. That said, it becomes "cursive" if I wanna go faster, which also makes my writing progressively illegible lol

Illegal cursive is both a blessing and a curse

I had to do my last essay written all in standardized engineering uppercase. I was sore for a while after that.

the wonky feeling when you try to move the pen is a cursed feeling

It's just like riding a bike, way harder than you ever remember it being.

I even get this when switching from writing on a tablet to paper

This is how writing always was for me. I’m a lefty, and I get nasty hand cramps after a paragraph or two.

Fellow lefty. I do not miss the graphite smudges one single bit.

I have arthritis. The hardest part of my wedding was writing down my vows in that little notepad

What is this arcane magic you speak of?
