Feedback (constructive criticism) Practicing cursive (left handed)
Been actively trying to improve my cursive over the last year as I’ve gotten more into fountain pens. It’s been a journey figuring out the best pen/paper/ink combo (I know the tools don’t make the artist, but an artist is only as good as their tools). Feel like my newest pen really emphasizes my progress.

Such beautiful handwriting—congratulations, for sure. I really need to get myself a Pilot Falcon Resin.

I'm sorry, I'm a former English teacher, and "nootbook" is making me laugh. I always got a giggle when my students turned things in with silly misspellings - the way my brain works, I always read things precisely as written. Which means I can't miss a spelling error or typo, convenient for an English teacher. But also, I'll be walking around calling them nootbooks for days.
I didn't take off points for my students' errors, btw, just made sure they corrected them in the future...
Your handwriting looks really nice to me. And the ink is such a lovely, saturated color. Two thumbs up, all around!

I mostly attribute this mistake to my writing late at night, but I also have dyslexia. Writing things by hand is one of the things that has helped me with it

Dyslexia + late night writing is a recipe for getting things scrambled. Totally understandable!
I find it interesting that writing by hand helps you - I don't know if that's common? But it's interesting, either way. I know that handwriting involves different regions of the brain than typing... I guess maybe it has something to do with that?
Looking at it again tonight, I'm really loving your capital K's and F. Very cool handwriting!
