Who thought this would be easy? It's a heavy weight

For selkie, in continuance of a conversation:



I do not know if I am showing off at something that is trivial for everyone else, but it really was hard for me to learn to write by hand the first time; it feels like a neurological revolution that it is merely aggravating the second.

It's funny how your handwriting has been the same streamlined and very classicist-apropos thing for oh, about twenty years unchanged. Ennit?

Love.

I like it. I'm glad to know it settled into itself. Your handwriting looks as I recognize it, too, capital letters and ligatures and all.

I never learned to write more than a careful and mechanical cursive, but fortunately I can read it, so that centuries of human communication are not lost to me.

Yes, the thing about my ligatures is they're unique.

Wait, do you think you could get the left-slant from someone who mostly handwrote Yiddish? Then it's the proper slant and -- argh.
