Paragraphs of the Week - #9

Previous week.

Welcome to another week!

The Paragraphs!

  1. "Indeed, everything in the emperor’s garden was remarkable, and it extended so far that the gardener himself did not know where it ended. Those who travelled beyond its limits knew that there was a noble forest, with lofty trees, sloping down to the deep blue sea, and the great ships sailed under the shadow of its branches." - The Nightingale

  2. "The rooster was happy with the proposal, and all four went off together. However, they could not reach the city of Bremen in one day, and in the evening they came into a forest, where they would spend the night" - The Bremen Town Musicians

  3. "For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

  4. "The messenger said that they were lost and could not find their way back to their kingdom, and asked him if he could not show them the way." - Hans-My-Hedgehog

  5. "So she lived there for some time, and the dove came every day and provided her with all she needed, and it was a quiet good life." - The Old Woman in the Wood

Here's my effort. I tried to follow some of the advice from last week and to cross my Ts all in the same way (didn't quite work) and stay more on the line (maybe a little better than before).

This was written very slowly, trying to be as neat as possible, but I'm still not that happy with it. Part of the problem may actually be the guidelines on this paper, because as I'm writing I feel like I have to stay within them, but when I do I feel like I'm writing too big.

This is an example of handwriting I quite admire. It's readable although it was clearly written quite fast, it's confident and flowing, and has personality. In comparison, to my eye, mine looks a little laboured.

Suggestions and critiques most welcome.

I can only write so long without grip before it feels weird on my fingers, do you feel the same?

This pen actually have machined lines at the tip that serves as grip, so it's not bad. Without a grip does feel weird... but I just feel the grip part is usually the ugly part of the pen...
