Can anyone interpret this signature?

Edit: I figured it out, asked a bunch of family members and apparently my husbands grandma used to always sign things “ur gr pat” (your grandma Patricia). ✨👍thanks all!!

Just Sharing (no feedback) 14 Years of Left-Handed Mirror Writing

Post image
88 Upvotes

Been mirror writing with my left hand (naturally right-handed) since 2012. I have had some very long streaks of daily practice, one over a 1000 days in a row in the early years of practice. My practice has not been as consistent over the last 5 years though. Writing more like a few times a week rather than daily. I taught this as part of a course for 3 years in federal prisons, and there I was convinced literally anyone can do this. So, if you want to just start.

I taught a workshop on this a few weeks ago and was reminded how exciting it can be for someone to discover their ability not only to write with the opposite hand but also to do it in mirror image. So, I thought I would share.

What do you think? I'm not sure if it's good or bad that my normal writing looks better than my slow writing. Though, the 'r's look better in the slow imo.

Llevo solamente una semana practicando este arte y me apeteció compartir. No sean duros, estoy empezando y a veces la punta se atasca un poco. Estoy pillando el tacto a la Zebra G. Lo he hecho sin guías, de ahí la irregularidad también.

Feedback (constructive criticism) Struggling with my handwriting and strain.

I have bad handwriting and my wrist was already strained by line 4. On the first S gel my angle was too step so it skipped on certain parts. My wrist strains quickly and I don't know how to stop that. I am right handed. I want to improve at taking note in class but it is hard when it is uncomfortable.

I’ve been practicing whole arm movement lately and it’s so difficult; my ovals let alone my push-pulls just aren’t as clean as better examples. Something in my physiology prevents me from excelling. I can do muscular movement but that’s my limit.

Feedback (constructive criticism) Visually impaired, rethought myself to write

Post image
7 Upvotes

Throughout my time in highschool I have (except for maths) not written much, I have however decided to study econometrics this year and will thus be required to do A LOT of mathematics, because of this I obviously have to write much more by hand. Because the quality of my handwriting was practically non-existent I have rethought myself in the last three months. I had decided to go with cursive because I figured it would be easier for me because my hand would always know where it is on the paper. I am however not noticing much more improvement as of late, and am absolutely not yet content with the quality and consistency of my handwriting. Would anyone have any tips for me on improving further and what mistakes I should look out for?

Thank you all very much in advance :)

Question (not for transcriptions) How to train my non-dominant hand to write

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am naturally a right handed person, and my left hand is genuinely there just for show.

But now, due to work, I am developing something akin to arthritis and/or carpal tunnel in my right hand which makes it a great pain to write uni stuff in notebooks. I write in a tiny bit modernized cursive handwriting.

Could any of you kind redditors give me advice as to how to train my left hand to write legibly? I've read some posts here about it as to use the non dominant hand for simple things to learn to like actually use it (and train it by, funnily enough, playing shooter games likesm overwatch with the non-nominant hand) but I'd like advice on the writing part mainly.

Should I try to go back to the 1st grade basics of repeating cursive letters over and over again and then slowly work my way up to simple words and smaller line sizes?

I would appreciate any advice you would give me.

Thank you!
