I have had surgery on both of my hands, and I have difficulty writing more than a paragraph or two, and I can see the legibility, even with block printing, devolve as I write. My hand just seems to freeze up and become a claw.
But I found a great solution-there was a company years ago that could make a font out of your handwriting. I think it cost me $100-$200, and I had to fill out a form.
It is very cool. Looks EXACTLY like my handwriting, the only dead giveaway is that is just TOO neat.
When I was in the Navy, I made a practice of writing 5-10 letters a day when I could find the time...I subscribed to the theory that if you don’t send any letters, you won’t get any, so I wrote a lot.
I had a woman who I used to write to a lot when I was in, and just recently sent her a letter printed in a card from my handwriting font. (I like to use dictation software when I can, and coupled with a bunch of Adobe Illustrator card templates, I can put out a nice letter in short order, and nobody I know was the wiser that it was typed (or dictated).
Anyway, when I saw the woman at a party, she thanked me for the letter, and said “I forgot just how neat and legible your handwriting was...you are lucky to be able to write like that...”
I spilled the beans to her, but wondered if there was a way to program in some random inconsistency to make it even more indistinguishable...:)
Getting your own handwriting font sounds cool. Glad you were able to resurrect at least some of what you had before your physical problems
Well, you could run it through MS-Paint and do some scratchouts.
