Hello there, fountain pen enthusiasts.
I am very new to all this and picked up my first fountain pen last week. I say picked up, a friend of mine who is more experienced than me gifted me a Lamy Joy with the 1.1 nib for my birthday last week and a couple days later, I chose a Studio for it's combination of looks, feel and price point as I am very new. My handwriting is a shambles. It really is terrible and I would love to improve it. I have been practicing every day and eating on line and I know it is a VERY long process before I start to see difference, but if I continue to practice what I do so far, I may just be reinforcing bad habits. So does anyone have any tips on where to start? All my adult life I have written in uppercase so it can be legible. I see so much beautiful handwriting on here and the web and I would love to just have, at the least, beautiful writing, regardless of printed or cursive. Mine just looks very shaky, whether I take my time and slow down or write at what has been my normal speed.
Please help.
