Handwriting

>>2730260
I practice slow and steady because my handwriting is shit, so I have to overwrite my muscle memory. I don't even know how to do it aside from writing on the line and straight.

Well there are a couple of ways to do so:
You could write a little text like I did, look at what looks wrong to you and practice writing these letters.
When I practice, I sometimes just do pages of just basic strokes and some letters I often use.
My handwriting was far worse before I started.
You may also look into copying other people's styles you like and trying to replicate them. Or you could pick a certain font you like and practice writing that.

Mine is shaky and inconsistent - this is about as good as I can get without going really slowly.

Using a Sailor Pro Gear with M nib, ink is GvFC Hazelnut Brown - great for ink washes.

You definitely have a nice style to work with. I think if you work a little bit on some details, it would look much better. You might want to use an italic nib. After I got mine, I instantly saw a big improvement and it looked much better than before.

I am stupid, I just realized you can't change the nib on the Sailor Pro Gear fountain pens

I don't find italics too well suited for everyday writing since they require a consistent angle to look good. Unfortunately I'm too sloppy, mostly because I just don't write a lot / never actually practice it.

That's a nice point, I guess it is a bit easier for me because the first fountain pens I wrote with forced me into writing at an 45 degree angle all the time, so I am pretty much used to it now.
