The best handwriting is your own handwriting. Simply tidying up the handwriting you already have can create a wonderful personal style. Follow along for four weeks, starting with careful practice of standard block letters, and create handwriting that's both distinctive and beautiful! This isn't about simply copying someone else's pretty handwriting. Nor is it about dully tracing generic computer fonts. This book is for anyone who wants their everyday handwriting to look a little neater and prettier — even if you're not aiming to create elaborate calligraphy art. Starting from the basics, you'll refine your own handwriting step by step. Going back to the way you first learned to write, you'll begin by holding your pen correctly and learning the shapes of Hangul, then progress through a 4-week program until you're able to write lovely message cards in a style that suits you. The book also includes the author's popular tips — always a hit on her Instagram — for writing in diaries and travel journals. Create Your Own Distinctive, Beautiful Handwriting in Just 4 Weeks Hawoting Calli's Kind and Thorough Handwriting Class From Correcting Messy Handwriting To Calligraphy — Your Handwriting Will Truly Change! Embarrassed by your handwriting? Did you write beautifully back in school, but now, from lack of practice, it just doesn't look the way it used to? As the world has grown more digital, it seems poor handwriting has become more common. But even in this age of typing, nothing can replace the unique charm of handwriting. Handwriting carries so much of the person who wrote it, along with an analog warmth and sense of comfort that typed text simply can't match. That's why so many people still want to write beautifully. Not everyone who wants nicer handwriting wants to create fancy calligraphy. Writing one gorgeous sentence is nice, but it's far more meaningful when your everyday, real handwriting actually changes. Simply writing neatly is enough to create a distinctive, attractive style — and that in itself can become a form of calligraphy. Don't overthink it. If you practice diligently, letter by letter, from beginning to end of this book, your handwriting can truly change. A 4-Week Program to Build a Strong Foundation and Discover Your Own Handwriting Even messy, difficult handwriting can improve. In Week 1, you'll start from the very beginning, as if learning to write for the first time — starting with how to hold your pen. You'll study the shapes of standard Hangul characters and practice writing one letter at a time neatly inside a grid, correcting the imbalance between consonants and vowels that often creeps in unnoticed. Many people with messy handwriting write too quickly, or focus on just one letter at a time instead of looking at the whole word or sentence. In Weeks 2 and 3, you'll gradually widen your focus from short one- or two-letter words to longer sentences, practicing writing neatly and evenly. By writing slowly in large letters, you'll come to understand your own strengths and weaknesses and get a feel for letter proportions. There's also a fun exercise where you experiment with different shapes for consonants and vowels to discover the style that best suits you. Once you find a style you like, keep practicing with it. In Week 4, you'll write sentences in various layouts sized for message cards, turning your own handwriting into a form of calligraphy. The book also includes handy tips for using your handwriting in everyday life — perfect for gifts for family and friends, or for writing cards. At the end, the author shares her own methods for writing diaries and travel journals by hand — one of the most popular features on her Instagram. The book includes a recommended schedule: five days a week for four weeks, so you can complete the entire book. We hope this becomes a joyful, rewarding month as you watch your handwriting transform. Don't let uneven handwriting go unaddressed just because people say "geniuses have messy handwriting." Your handwriting is like your face — it represents you. So, are you ready to transform into someone with beautiful handwriting?
