I have been journaling by hand for a while now, partly in the hope that it might improve my now atrocious handwriting. I thought that time and practice would help me get better, but it's only very recently that I have discovered that my penmanship only improves if I, just, slow, down. I have now come to terms with the fact that I have a maximum speed for handwriting, and it is much slower than my typing speed. The advantage is that I now have more time to think when writing by hand.
