shikang, I think you can do them in parallel. Write the characters first on grid paper then on
plain paper. Do this when you feel like it and when time allows it. Don't put too much pressure on
yourself.

strawberries, I think your handwriting is very neat and nice (and cute, if you don't mind). There
are two errors on the last line (桌 and 跟), though.

Edit - shikang, I just picked up the first sheet of paper on my desk and wrote on it. Lined paper
would be fine for practising. Don't worry too much.

I'm not a native chinese writer, but here's a sample of my writing, in case anyone is interested.
I chose a dialogue from one of my books, as there is a slightly wider range of characters.

Any comments or criticism welcome.

I took Imron's suggestion and wanted to look at the font. I think it is a good on to have on hand
- I am always looking for handwriting-like fonts. Before you download the font however, you might
want to go to

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

and download their free trial to extract the files. If anyone has other suggestions or ideas about
this font, extration of this font, or other links to handwriting-like fonts, please le me know.
Thanks,
Kathy

anonymoose, I think your writing is fine. IMHO it is a bit childlike but is very neat.

criticism welcome, esp. on how to improve my cursive writing, coz everytime I see it it makes me
wanna puke
However my problem is that I don't really know what is considered good looking and what not. I
grew up in Germany though...

@naturegirl

You are joking about wanting to puke, right? I'm no expert, but speaking as someone who has
less-than-flowing handwriting, I wouldn't mind at all having mine look like that.

For something to shoot for there is this

from our own geek_frappa.

You could try to get the book by Fred Wang. See this thread. I have a copy and it has several
contributors. The emphasis is on learning to read cursive, but I suppose you could learn to write
from it. The link has other suggestions.










naturegirl -

@kudra: actually I wasn't ^^
since I'm chinese born my writing should be better I think. But thanks for the e-book link, it's
great!

@naturegirl: not necessarily. I find that unless the person in question is an architect or
interior designer (or other craft that requires legible handwriting), perfect handwriting is rare.
In fact, native users of a writing system tend to be less legible, in my experience, because
they've used it so often that they develop individualized abbreviations and slurs. Non-native
speakers tend to lack those because they haven't had the time to. So I'd be surprised if your
handwriting were to actually fit a drafter's standards.
