David, I always enjoy your writing and your beautiful pens. I had to switch to computerized records this year (a bitter pill), so my fountain pen use is limited to signing my name two or three times a day. I yearn for retirement, since practice is now nothing but physically and emotionally punishing drudgery.

Thanks, jmccarty3!

 

I have never heard anyone say they just loved any of the EMR systems. Most complain about lack of flexibility, the temptation to just use boilerplate, leading to inaccurate records, and decreased productivity. Having used a computerized record system I developed myself for my subspecialty practice, I know it can be a good thing. I persist in hoping that the combination of incremental improvements in the EMR platforms and a younger generation who grew up "keyboarding" will eventually realize the theoretical benefits of EMR's.

 

As for me, I am enjoying the return to handwriting and hoping that, with practice, I can some day achieve "calligraphy."

Everytime I see your handwriting I am amazed. Some from other people, like InkyFingers, also amaze me. I bookmarked some videos that you suggested in another post.

I bought a 1.1 Lamy stub for writing notes to students. It saves a lot time because of the equations and math notation. It is fun that they react to my very fake italic in Diamine Oxblood. I wonder about their reaction when I, eventually, get to that level. But only after getting my cursive right....

I have the exact same problem, David. My cursive really isn't that bad when practicing, but the moment I begin writing letters or anything meant to be seen by others, my lower arm shakes and I tense up. I have no problem talking or presenting things in front of a large group of people, but there's something about the thought of one critiquing my writing that shakes me a bit.

 

Though, really, your writing is wonderful! If you were nervous, I can't quite see it.

You have a very smooth cursive handwriting here. I love it.

In the image below ... I used the new "ruler" to draw the lines on the paper ... and did that with the "pencil" tool as opposed to the pen tool. Next, wrote out the sentence ...

 

Not bad at all ... I didn't exactly take my time ... if this is what can be done with a finger, I'm getting kind of curious about the new pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil that Master Penman Jake Weidmann demoed with his hummingbird strokes in their Promo Video ...
