i remembered my buddy sam’s site pendemonium.com (beware office porn)

perhaps i am not the only one who feels moleskine deprive because i can’t write…"
But wait, there’s more! Even bigger plethora of penmanship links at UPenn.

I once felt the same. Part of my problem was that I gripped the pen so tightly and pressed so hard that after a while the pain changed the fine movements of my hand. Then I tried writing with a fountain pen. I found that the physical process of writing with a fountain pen was considerably different than with a ball point pen or a pencil because of the fragility of the nib. The upside is that it has enabled me to write much more legibly, the downside is that after years of block capital printing, I’m learning to write all over again.
