Hello all!! This will be my first post in this amazing community! I do not own my own FP just yet, I want to improve my handwriting with a regular pen first before I start learning that beautiful chancery italic script I've been drooling over ^_^ haha! Now, I have a question for all of you handwriting geniuses! I've been working on "writing with my shoulder" as said in PaperPenalia for the past week and I see a definite improvement in my hand writing, however, I notice that I am still using my fingers a little bit (especially when working with small curves, "e" "a" "g" "h" etc..). I used to have my wrist firmly planted on the paper and I only moved it when moving onto the next word, however, now I have it lifted off the paper (or very lightly touching) and my weight is now rested lightly onto my little finger. My hand is always moving with the letters, along with my fingers as well. Is this "correct"? Should my fingers NOT be moving at all? I do hope I'm "working in the right direction" with this! I do not have any teachers nor books to work out of Looking forward to getting started on italics soon! Thank you all! why789
