New member also. Welcome
Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. That's a nice selection of new and older Sheaffer's.
Welcome!
Welcome! Nice collection of Sheaffers there! Good luck with the handwriting. I also am trying to do better. I personally think the secret is lots of repetitive drills. Didn't get enough of those in school, personally. I'd be very interested to hear how it goes over time.
You poor s.o.b.! Congratulations.

Thank you very much inkseeker, jar, NibsForScript , azkid, Wahl, FredRydr
@azkidWhat I did?I also am trying to do better. I personally think the secret is lots of repetitive drills. Didn't get enough of those in school, personally. I'd be very interested to hear how it goes over time.
1. I borrowed several books from the local library.
2. Next day I returned all books except one https://www.amazon.com/Improve-Your-.../dp/1444103792
I use different style of writing unintentionally, this book shows mistakes I make, and how to "repair" it
3. I pushed myself back to school, I printed template page with horizontal lines a make writing exercises using fountain pen only
4. I believe to be on right way, I see small progress every time
