Even a couple of my past partners have teased, ‘You write like a girl.’ To which I retorted: ‘Why yes, my handwriting is pristinely legible, thankyouverymuch.’
Seriously, I worked hard to improve my handwriting. I went with what felt best to my hand, wrist, and fingers. (Okay, and switched to a typographic ‘a’ because it’s cute. Bite me.) But it’s so much more legible than it was eight years ago. Yes, it’s a little curvy but we’re not talking the vertical ellipsoid curves stereotypical of teen girl diaries. These are grown-up curves, with grace and stance. Like ballet.
